"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Even Obama, at Biden's Hollywood fundraiser, cannot muster much enthusiasm for a future Biden presidency. He even admits tuning out politics and watching sports instead.
quote:
The Hill reports Obama made his revelation at a glittering Biden campaign fundraiser with the president on Saturday in Los Angeles, telling a select group of TikTok and Instagram creators he understands the challenge “influencers” face avoiding politics in their work.
“We live in a cynical time,” Obama said. “Let’s face it: I think a lot of the people who watch you, listen to you, who are fans of you — a lot of times they feel turned off by the political discourse.”
“I get it,” he continued. “You know, I frankly watch sports, mostly. Because it feels like everything is slash and burn.”
Despite his reticence to partake of current politics Obama went on to pitch for Biden and offer his backing, urging his audience to stop and listen to the octogenarian Democrat’s message.
Obama, 19 years younger than Biden, acknowledged many young, progressive creators are skeptical of Biden — but argued their beliefs are shared, even if the latter is accused of being less than physically able to execute his public duties.
We live in "cynical times" because shit ain't going right Barry. But even you, Kaptain Kenya, know that shit is so fucking bad, you'd rather watch guys playing ball rather than watch the news.

VP takes over, but iirc the democratic party can put anyone in his spot after their convention.
While I believe this is true, several of us were discussing recently the impossible challenge of conducting an election if he died or became incapacitated a week or even a month before Election Day. Ballots and machines already set up, preliminary voting already in motion, all sort of things that would create chaos.
We couldn't find any clarity on this and how things would be handled.

Only dead people can vote for dead candidates, it's the law.
BIDEN SUCKS.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I think there is some plotting going on behind the scenes to get him to not accept the nomination at the convention but he's a stubborn old goat and his wife is a power-hungry real-life Lady Macbeth and that is where it's going to be tough.

I think whatever the powers that be want, will get what they want.

If it's the White House's contention that these videos are deep fakes, then I think there is only one proper action to take. We need an immediate congressional review of the videos, confirming that they are deep fakes. We need to have each one proven as real vs fake. Really scrutinize these videos, frame by frame if necessary and do it in view of the public. If there's a deep fake conspiracy affecting the presidency of the United States then we need this exposed for the entirety of the populace to see.

Given this foolish child’s history of fabrication and deflection, I don’t believe for a second (nor does anyone else that is honest and/or intelligent) that any of these videos highlighting Biden’s obvious infirmity is in any way faked. The democrats are desperate and flailing wildly.
