The economy is improving - better and faster than predicted and better than the other G7 countries. Yet, Biden is not getting credit. Trump even tried to claim the improved economy is a result of overflow from his very successful administration. Republicans voted against the bills that have caused the economy to improve yet are taking credit for these things back in their districts, conveniently forgetting how they voted when they do their town halls. However, even though gas prices are down - the are still high. And where it seems to hurt the most is at the grocery store. If Republicans maintain control of the House, or gain seats in the Senate, of God forbid (in my opinion) Trump is elected, all this good work that Biden's administration has done will be undone.
I don't understand why Biden doesn't wave the team flag more. The average guy doesn't see what he's accomplished. Who the hell knows what Harris does.
Biden has proven that he was born to be a banker, and Obama taught him the finer points. Democrats hate their own politicians, but they hate republicans even more, reflecting the fact, there never was anybody in charge around here. Democrats have allowed the Tea Party to censor most of reality, and politics is just another reality TV buzz word. Scripted, by a hundred monkeys banging away on typewriters.
Ask any academic today, the entire developed world has decided to censor half of fucking reality. The more they find out about reality, the harder they attempt to censor half of it. It was so much easier in Galileo's time. Honesty is such a lonely word, when a grammar school kid declared his intention to never tell a lie, it made the national news.
You can't fake professional wrestling, so the Tea Party decided to censor them. So far, they've censored the Bible and the dictionary and encyclopedias. Now, they're defending Taylor Swift. You could wave red meat in front of them, and they'd all salivate like Pavlov's dogs. I do the linguistic mathematics, to automate their own bullshit. The more right wing the US becomes, the more other countries will take advantage of them. When there was no justice to be found, in or out of court, the idiots became as predictable as cattle. Chickens to be precise, but you need the quantum mechanics, to stomp them back into the mud. The idiots have made even quantum mechanics taboo, and are attempting to steal all the data they can, but their enormous house of cards is already poised to come crashing down. We'll be lucky if the ocean currents don't change within three years, and the US will be forced to change everything, or be left behind in the next scientific revolution. We Are Borg! You Will Be Assimilated Into Our Collective! Resistance Is Futile! The Catholic Church shot themselves in the foot, throwing Galileo in the Dungeon, and I encourage Americans to shoot themselves in the foot, as often as they prefer. Call it Mental Judo and Aikido, for Professional Wrestling. Bruce Lee school of No Class, No Style, No-Brainer Bullshit Kung Fu!
The Tea Party runs the Pentagon, which regulates Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, and everyone else. Up ahead, at the twisted fork in the road, lies a crooked sign in the gutter, but there is no stopping the Twilight Zone Train Wreak In Motion!
This is one thing Trump knows how to do well... keep people focused on him. No matter what he says or does, he gets Media attention, good or bad - it does not matter. Biden does not seem to know how to do this. Trump has been using the same methods for years - which he put out there when he did his reality TV show "the Apprentice". The winners, the people he liked the most, knew how to get the attention they needed to succeed, and Trump loves that. He does that. For those of us who appreciate a president who does not seek to be the most important person in the room even though he is, I sure hope there are enough voters out there who recognize the good stuff Biden has accomplished. He and Harris have just been entirely too normal vs what the nutcases on the other side of the political spectrum are doing. Normal is boring comparatively speaking but it gets the job done.
Fake News - While on his latest motorcade route to a court appearance, Trump stopped his motorcade in mid-town Manhattan, got out of his vehicle, pulled a revolver out of his coat and fired it, killing two tourists who were looking for an authentic Chinese pizzeria. As he predicted, nobody cared. But it did make third place news story following the weather in California and whatever is going to happen in Las Vegas next weekend.... Neither Biden nor Harris made the news at all.
The Tea Party is running the Pentagon, which tells Google, Microsoft, and Reuters what to censor. Depending on your physical proximity to the mass media, up to 90% of the public is so gullible these days, they all believe they're "Smarter Than The Average Bear!" Recently, even Reuters has converted to using AI to censor the news, and the AI are now generating most of the news, while all these different AI have hallucinations, and biases, and cause each other to become more stupid over time. Its new technology, and the Three Stooges are creating AI smarter than they can buy with all their money. Considering how mindless the mainstream has become, we can assume its all for the best. My own work, encourages them to censor even more of reality, and shoot themselves in the foot more often. Sooner or later, one way or another, reality wins. Let's make it sooner!
Another great moment in politics - reminds me of James Comey's statements about Hillary Clinton's emails. Hur had to know that writing that Mr. Biden “would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”. He went on to indicate Biden could not clearly state when he served as VP and when his son passed away. Just the image we want to see as we vote for President. In contrast, the #1 rival is only 3 years younger but does a better job of presenting himself with his freshly dyed hair and make-up. He looks younger even though he is clearly no more cognitively skilled and certainly not more qualified on so many other points than Biden... yet, he gets a pass while Biden is being pushed into an open grave.
Joe really needs a handler - or better handler. Keep him on script. Do a little touch up on him and his wardrobe. Teach him how to walk and talk not like a old man in a fog. This is life and death and nobody seems concerned with trying to make him seem presidential and powerful. He seems to just give Fox news more fodder to pick on him as sleepy ol' Joe.
I believe they're already doing that, but sadly at 81 he just doesn't have the energy to pull it off. And if he were to die or become incapacitated while in office then Kamala Harris would become President, and a lot of people dread that. Maybe he should pick a different running mate, someone the voters have more confidence in, but he has already committed to keeping her. As for Trump, he shows more energy but also shows signs of diminished mental capacity and is overweight and out of shape, a potential heart attack. His projected possible running mates are: New York Rep. Elise Stefanik South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders Former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson Every one of these candidates are somewhat controversial but I'm sure Trump's supporters will back whatever decision he makes. God help us!
VP is such a hard job... but every single one of them are terrible suggestions. I am not sure why Kamala Harris has failed to be popular as VP. But, I am guessing it is the same reason Joe Biden has not been able to gain much of an approval rating, and I think it has a lot to do with the cartoon that @newo just posted.
