Grip it and rip it posted:Yeah that's definitely the kind of position where you want to start forming a potential backup plan immediately. Project 2025 plans to use loyalty to Trump as the qualifier for being a federal employee if he is elected. You either kneel, kiss the ring, and ascribe to MAGA ideals or youre out.

Wasn't trump known for not getting out of bed until around noon? Or at least the residence or something.

From nytimes:quote:After Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii, a physician, asked Mr. Biden questions about the status of his health, Mr. Biden replied that his health was fine. “It’s just my brain,” he added, according to three people familiar with what took place — a remark that some in the room took as a joke, including Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York, according to a person close to her. But at least one governor did not, and was puzzled by it. Really not ideal when two candidates have said there is nothing wrong with their behavior that can’t be attributed to brain problems.

That's good, anything to make it easier for people to vote. Didn't know how lucky I was to be in WA where you get a mail in ballot with plenty of time to do research, and if you really want extra security drop boxes are everywhere. I was confused about why other states hadn't adopted that system or why anyone would need to stand in line for hours (on a dang non-holiday weekday) before realizing it's intentional to suppress returns. Family friends teach at University of Ohio so are stuck in lines for hours each time with no other options.

RFC2324 posted:He can't, he has brain problems. The real trouble is that we get a lot of days like today (which I've had limited exposure to) - a firey campaign speech and a below replacement-level interview. Where he's back to non-senile Grandpa Joe, but Grandpa Joe is below replacement-level at answering questions to move any kind of needle. Then also sabotages his own campaign's talking points by when you really think about the answers, when he minimizes the election's consequences. He's basically doing the dance when a sports coach is a dead man walking and about to get fired, but refuses to acknowledge (but maybe sees) the oncoming train. The trouble here is that the coach is also the owner.

Excellent Head of Government and one of, if not the best presidents of most of our lifetimes. Might even be right about the polling being bullshit. But no longer a functional Head of State after the debate made all the bullshit videos correct. Would still vote for him, but the k-hive is buzzing in my head as a better option!

If he's going to be replaced they need to announce it yesterday, regardless of who they are going to fill his seat. This whole thing is a loving disaster.

Grip it and rip it posted:If he's going to be replaced they need to announce it yesterday, regardless of who they are going to fill his seat. This whole thing is a loving disaster. For what it's worth, "Both of these options suck" elections tend to be decided in the last few weeks anyways. Also helps that the collective American attention span is about a few days and their decisions on both were hardened pre-debate. So the party needs to sort the poo poo out before or during the convention, August 19-22. The DNC "virtual convention" is bullshit and not needed since Ohio changed their law. Chuds saying "we'll sue if you change at the convention" are just bleating.

quote:BIDEN: I convinced myself of two things. I’m the most qualified person to beat him, and I know how to get things done. His Holiness, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Servant of the servants of God, has the opportunity to be the greatest pontiff in at least three centuries.

Pine Cone Jones posted:i will take a corpse over trump There's a handful of pundits I follow on Bluesky who are so weirdly pro-Biden it ends up hurting the argument for him. There are a lot of decent, if debatable arguments in favor of staying the course. "Concerns about Biden's performance in the debate are nothing but mass hysteria," though? That's just outright gaslighting and devastating to credibility. The chuds and the NYT absolutely are cynically fueling the fire and that's abhorrent. But we can't just pretend that voters won't be put off by Biden's manifest shortcomings (polls do show a dip in Biden's already poor numbers), nor just whine that they should be voting against authoritarianism anyway. They should! But the argument needs to be that American democracy faces this unprecedented threat and our candidate, whoever that is, is eager and ready to go to bat for America.

What does the president do exactly that requires snap decision making? Contrary to TV dramas, almost everything coming from the White House is a strategic policy change or an escalation on something that can’t be figured out at lower level leadership in an executive agency. If Biden goes to sleep at 8 and makes a decision with his team the next day, nothing is going to change. And Trump making an invariably terrible decision in the moment because he was awake tweeting when someone asked him isn’t somehow better.

Even given that a president technically needn't be mentally agile or even all there to get by fine in office, what matters for November is what voters think or can be persuaded of. Are too many going to stay home, naively or selfishly uninspired by the need to defeat authoritarianism alone? I don't even solidly come down on the replacement side. It's just direly important not to contribute to a willfully overoptimistic echo chamber that refuses to entertain electoral realities, lest we blunder into another stupid "it's her turn!" loss when the stakes are even higher. None of us are going to be deciding things, but y'all are probably going to be engaging one way or another with undecided dumb-dumbs who need to be persuaded to the ballot box.

Yeah the constant complaints from winnable normies are "they're both so old", "I don't want a rerun", and "is this really the best the country can do?" So it's good that at a minimum, Harris is doing a ton of events. She's been great on abortion and probably isn't as bad as she was in the 2020 primaries anymore.
