The Not So Crowded Presidential 2024 Election Thread

Evangelicals will bring about the rapture so Jaysis will raise their dead so they can vote for Grump, so the GOP can deal with the spectacular mess the dems have created.

Notes on the presser:

Biden is late. Will he have to stop at 8PM or if he goes past his bedtime is that a sign of his virility and stamina?

While we wait. The walls continue to crumble:

Progressives enraged as Democrats reportedly privately admit Trump isn’t an ‘existential threat to democracy’ (msn.com)

OK, here we go. Reading from the teleprompter. NATO history. Attack on one is an attack on all.

Putin is a murderous madman. Very diplomatic.
already stuttering…,I warned the world!
Jesus, he can’t read the script. NATO is stronger than ever.
They thanked me personally. NATO is stronger and bigger.
His voice is shot. Shots on Trump. Putin is a genius.
I will not bow down to Putin. Future of American policy is up to the American people. American cannot retreat from the world.

Inflation is down, prices is falling for cars and airfare. Corporate greed. Trump 10% tarrifs. It’s a tax.
Border security is working. OH? I took EO last month. border encounters down 50%
Gaza: path for peace and stability. I put out a plan. That framework is agreed upon. Oh? War should end now.
We’re America. We’re indispensable.

Questions:
Pelosi, Clooney, lawmakers, UAW is concerned you can win. Can Harris beat Trump? He calls Harris VP Trump. Meh, they’re worrying about the ticket. He’s hisspering again. I got work to finish. He’s just going on and on, killing time. Working class people need help, corporate profits. I’m optimistic.

Question: mixed up Zelenski and Putin earlier today. People are making excuses for you. He’s looking very mean. pissed off. He’s patting himself on the back. Well-- anyway. I thought it was successful. lol

Q: not your enemies want you out, but your supporters. What about your legacy? Look, I’m not in this for my legacy. My ass. Back on inflation…hisspering, 16 economic guys says I did a hell of a job. I stopped trickle down. My dad was well read and poor. Middle out bottom up. What have we not done that hasn’t worked well. I’m not anti corporate. I’m from Delaware. Rent control? wut? BTW, remember how I was pro union? guess what. HISSPERING. god he’s creepy. Computer chips back in the US. 50 billion. None of you thought that would happen. really? Who thought that? I make no distinction between red and blue states. He’s mumbling-- middle class–wealthy have to pay taxes.
Q: Would VP be ready to serve. Why is she ready? Freedom of womens bodies? wut? hell of a prosecutor. Good in the senate.

Q: How can you be up for the job give the limits you’ve acknowledged. Bed by 8. not true. I need to pace myself. I made that stupid mistake in the debate. Wheres Trump been? Writing his scorecard before he hits the bal. That’s funny. BTW, I love my staff. hisses at staff. Catching hell from my wife.

Q: AP: NATO , Z pressed on US weapons. Reconsidering position? And leaders are worried about the NEXT bad night. ouch

Z asking for deep strike weapons. Would it make sense to give him weapons that could strike Moscow? NO. Following advice of my commander in chief…whoops, thats you sir.

bad night question: am i getting the job done. I created 2k jobs this week! no indication that I cant get the job done.

Q: have high standing in Europe, BUT concern in Poland the Trump will win the election. Trump may weaken NATO or push Ukraine to give up land for peace. Will Europe be left along if Trump wins? How can Europe prepare for disengagement?

European allies say to me you gotta win! Trump likes authoritarians. I’m the best person to do the job to save Ukraine. Finland. Making up story about Finland calling him to join NATO. Some kind of pause?? I got 50 nations to support Ukraine, coalition of Asia, Oz…we’re making the world safer and stronger. Cold war is over, post war over, I know what’s next.

Q: China is enabler of war in Ukraine. Have strategy to interrupt China Russia love fest? what is it? what would you say to Putin or Xi to say one on one in a few years (when you’re older)

I know Xi, I handed in all my notes? wtf was that? Xi thinks their market is big enough to do what they want in Europe. If China supplies Russia with data and war stuff, they won’t benefit economically. The balloon going down – direct line between Xi and me – now. There is a price to pay for undercutting the world–Ukraine–for example—all gibberish.

Taxes on Chinese EVs. Mumbling again and China and Russia.

West is going to become industrial base. I’m ready to deal with Putin and Xi now and three years for now. No good reason to talk to Putin now. REALLY?
I won’t talk to Putin until his changes his behavior.

God, he’s just going in circles. He’s killing time with these drawn out answers. Now he’s blabbing about Asia again. I’ve already talk about Oz.

Q: Israeli War: what would you have done differently? Campaign: transition to a younger generation of leaders…what changed?

I went to Israel. I met a king and Arabs to get more aid in Gaza. Israel was less than cooperative. Story time with Golda Mier. War cabinet is conservative. No answer to 2 state solution. PROCESS for 2 state solution. No occupation on Gaza. The PORT didn’t work. It’s a pier sir. I was opposed to uniting Afghanistan. We should have moved on after OBL was whacked. No 2000 pound bombs. mumbling. United Arab nations…nothing happened. wtf is he saying? Time to end this war. but keep going after Hamas. Hams is not popular now in Gaza. cease fire btw look at the numbers in israel…wut?

OK…I’ll finish this up later.

Another nail in the coffin.

He’s like a drunk driver swerving left and right at high speed (well, snail speed in his case). People hope he won’t crash, but the only way to prevent that is stopping him before he does.

At this rate, 25th amendment is becoming more likely every day.

His presser in summary: …“Anyway …”

It’s hard to tell whether Biden is on to something or on something these days. What Americans really need to see to make an informed decision this November is drug test results, not cognitive test results. They can already see the cognitive results for themselves.

And we know who has the plumber vote locked down

What an idiot. Biden fits that category lol

“This is going to get worse.”

As much as I don’t like Biden, I detest Hollywood even more. With such incestuous hiring practices, to hear them be ageist is pretty ironic.

What. MSM reporting some real news for a change?

It’s not ageism; they’ve made it clear they aren’t ageist if anything.

That they are asking for a senile old fuck to step down can be seen as surprisingly ageist in a culture that values youth. Would you see such displays in neo-Confucian political cultures? Fuck no–not in a culture that reveres the elderly. Just as asking to hire their sister’s friend is nepotism. Hollywood is one nasty special interest—worse than syphilis.

I’m not trying to defend Hollywood, it can sink into the ocean as far I’m concerned. But, they have the same right to speak their minds as everyone else. Anyway, the current objections to Biden are clearly based on competency and not on age.

I disagree–dude has been incompetent since the Bork and Thomas hearings. Dumb/incompetent as fuck and always has been.

And he’s been old as fuck too. You think they are suddenly objecting to his age?

Yeah, if you read the shart that Clooney and others are writing (and I certainly don’t blame you for not), they are saying the Biden of 2020 is very different to the Biden of 2024. I am saying the Biden of 1987 is the Biden of 2024–was always a dunce. It could be interpreted as being ageist because he has always been incompetent.

I agree with this totally. He went through a whole primary campaign plus the debates, so we saw him some.

So you think he has declined? I guess I see him as starting underwater, so a decline that is already subterranean isn’t as noticeable. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Yeah, I think so. He was obviously old and declining then, but he wasn’t in the state he is now. He was good enough for anyone looking for any possible alternative to Trump then :raising_hand_man: but it’s clearly not working now. I’m still very surprised they pushed him so hard this time.

Got to be Parkinsonism, right? All the signs (rigidity, whispering/hoarseness, bradykinesia, confusion/anger, neuropathy). Eight visits from a doc specializing in Parkinson’s disease.

It’s the bradykinesia that gives it away most clearly: that stiff arm, the halting movement, the small shuffling steps, the neuropathy in his feet that’s been in his WH health report for years. I reckon a first-year med student would be expelled if s/he failed to identify the signs.

No cure, and drugs prescribed to control the symptoms eventually cause the presentation of involuntary muscle movements (e.g., Michael J Fox).

Without sharing news of his diagnosis it’s impossible to know how his thinking has been affected, how long before he’s cognitively incapacitated to the point his executive function is gone.

Until Biden chooses to share more information, I think that any voter has to assume Harris will take the reins sometime before 2028. If you like Biden, then you should also like Harris - as President.
