The hardcore leftists simply do not care, they are so brainwashed into the cult of "Vote Blue no matter who!" that they would vote for Pol Pot if he had a (D) next to his name.

Actual post on Reddit this past week:

"I will vote for the corpse of Joe Biden before I ever vote for any Republican"

It's really scary and amazing.

They're saying they do not actually value having one single person, the president, an individual in control of the executive branch. He's a figurehead with all the trappings, occupying the residence, like a modern-day monarch or emperor. That pretty much sums up the Biden circus.

We Can't Unsee What we Saw

quote:
We Can’t Unsee What We Saw
The debate was bad. The spin is somehow even worse.
BY HILLARY FREY
JULY 02, 20245:35 AM


There are times in all of our lives when we see things we wish we hadn’t. It could be a text, sent or received by a loved one, that reveals a secret. It could be a bill or bank statement, left out at a friend’s house, that tells a different financial story than what you thought you knew about your friend. It could be a shitty test result, confirming something you’d previously been able to deny.

Or it could be last Thursday’s presidential debate, which revealed that President Biden is indeed an old man who appears to be in no condition to be running this country, even now—not to mention in another four years.

The debate was shocking, upsetting, nearly impossible to watch. Based on my anecdotal research, lots of folks turned it off after 10 minutes, unable to witness the humiliating performance by our current president. Others held out hope it would turn around in real time, that Biden’s jaw would be vacuumed shut again, eyes refocused. Still more of us had the sinking, correct assumption: This would not come to pass. We knew what was happening. We were watching the president of the United States, un-teleprompted, fail in a spectacularly human way in front of us. He was not OK. Which meant the impending presidential election was more like an impending disaster.

But even worse than those unbearable 90 minutes has been the spin that followed. Democratic operatives and Biden’s friends in high places came to his defense; Barack Obama himself brushed off the president’s dismal performance, posting on Twitter that “bad debate nights happen.” C’mon. Yes, a bad debate night happened to Obama when he was running again in 2012. A bad debate night is not what happened last week.

Pushing this line is offensive, and contemptuous of the American voting public. Everyone saw the same debate: It was reality rubbing human mortality in our faces. Biden is old, and the process of his aging seems to be accelerating, as it is wont to do. We all know old people. We know how different the 60s are from the 70s, and the 70s are from the 80s. We’ve all witnessed the decline that comes in the slow march toward the end, likely in circumstances that were unbelievably personal and sorrowful. What I am trying to say is: We know what we saw last Thursday. And like those relationship-changing texts and bad test results, we cannot unsee what we saw.

The effort to convince us that it really wasn’t that bad will continue. Biden’s campaign will keep reiterating that those closest to the president—his wife Jill and son Hunter, first and foremost—are standing by him, urging him to stay in, because they are the ones who know what he is “really” like, and they think he’s up for it. But the swell from the media is building to counter that, and that’s good. It’s our job to say what is really happening out there, even if it is unpleasant and inconvenient.

Could we have been more forcefully pushing on Biden’s age before? Sure, and some reporters have been trying. But even with the evidence of the number—Biden is 81—pressing too hard seemed to be edging into a hypothetical space. He seemed good; the State of the Union was a success, he looked invigorated at rallies. Only now does it feel so obvious that in those encounters, Biden was scripted, prompted, controlled. Everything mediated by people motivated to protect him personally and politically. Now, we regular folks have seen him unplugged. It’s not pretty. Aging only goes in one direction.

Now, we are being urged again to get on board and do this thing. Finish the job! We need to go with the guy with the record, with the experience, with the delegates. He beat Trump before—no one else has done that, don’t you realize that? No one else can do that, Biden defenders keep telling us.

Well, who knows. But I do know that trying to wish last Thursday night away is only going to make me angrier. I’m up for rolling the dice. We can’t unsee what we saw. And I, for one, don’t want to see it again.

What makes the amateurish nature of this article even more shocking is that, apparently, the writer is Slate's editor in chief. Perhaps that's how pointless, space-robbing lines like this survived the red pencil:
quote:
We all know old people.
Do tell Roll Eyes Do you get paid by the word, lady?

She may be using the royal "we" or that may be her pronoun, but it's obvious to me that who she really wants to be able to "unsee" the debate is the estimated 78 million people (48M on CNN, another 30M online) who witnessed at least a portion of Biden's humiliation- a humiliation, I might point out, that he eagerly sought, with his typical braggadocio.

The key takeaway from all these editorial lamentations is that there is nothing that happened within that 90 minutes that every single person who has paid any attention to Biden in the last four years was not aware of. What has happened is not that there was a shocking revelation brought to fore by Thursday night's telecast; it's that Biden's performance- live, unedited, sans teleprompter and the option to ignore questions and walk away from the podium- was so glaringly awful, that not even the media apparatchiks who routinely, gleefully wipe ol' Joe's ass for him are able to deny what they witnessed and more importantly, what a substantial portion of the American voter population witnessed.

And now, as David Axelrod pointed out, it's too late to do anything about it, because the time to accept the truth was a year ago. Since the leftists refused to acknowledge reality until it was standing on their chests, the fact is that they have no one to blame but themselves.

Ol Joe is on the offensive, he's on TV at the national weather center as they announce the coming Hurricane and other weather issues, and of course there is a teleprompter.

Guess the "bad debate" but I'm still ok process is in the works for the Administration and of course Dr Jill, propping him up in front of the USA...

Ouch! CNN has Trump up by 6% in their latest poll which was taken AFTER the debate.

2024 General Election: Trump vs. Biden

For context, at this time in 2020 Biden was 9.3% ahead and in 2016 Clinton was 4.5% ahead.

If Trump's team feels confident about November, they are going to start hammering down ballot races.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett Becomes First Sitting Democrat to Call for Biden to Withdraw

The first domino fell Tuesday. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) called for President Joe Biden to step down from his campaign for reelection to the White House.

Doggett’s announcement followed a horrendous debate performance from Biden universally panned by media and voters.

Few Democrat elected officials have rushed to Biden’s defense, but Doggett is the first to officially announce Biden should step aside.

“For more than a year, many Americans have indicated dissatisfaction with their choices in this election,” Doggett said in a press release. “President Biden has continued to run substantially behind Democratic senators in key states and in most polls has trailed Donald Trump.”

He continued, “I had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum to change that. It did not. Instead of reassuring voters, the President failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies.”

And the Democrats were in deep shit long before the debate, it is interesting to see people behave as if the Dems were a clear, functioning party before. The Democrat brand is damaged big time, and it is not just Joe Biden. We very well might see more of "The Squad" lose seats, and other leftist Democrats across the country.

The political landscape globally shows leftism is being rejected across Europe, and in the last couple of years, in South America. Looking at Australia and Canada's situation now, people around the globe are frustrated, sick and tired of the leftist bullsh*t that screwed up their lives, and the U.S. is seeing this revelation as well, in spades.

It doesn't matter who the Dems put in, they won't win against Trump in an honest election. People are hungry for a more conservative society, very similar to the endgame of Jimmy Carter's term, people were starving for a change in their lives. And it's happening in America right now, and months/years ago. The citizens are sick to death of inflation, sick of illegals, sick of unfettered crime, sick of our foreign policy, sick of the LGBTQ crap, sick of identity politics, all attributed to the Democrat agenda.

Has she/he/we/they/all of the above given a presser since Thursday's debate? If so, I haven't seen it. And it would be PPV material!

The Biden campaign people are clowns.

Clown Show: Biden Campaign Grants Trump’s Communications Advisor Steven Cheung Access to Private Internal Call Using His Official Trump Campaign Email

Trump’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung managed to infiltrate an internal call of the Biden campaign. The shocking part is, Cheung didn’t use any cloak and dagger tactics – he simply used his official Trump campaign email.

Cheung took to the social media platform X to share his experience. In a series of posts, he exposed the Biden campaign’s lax security measures and their disheartening attitude toward the ongoing political battle.

“On the Biden campaign call, deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks admits that the SCOTUS ruling makes President Trump, ‘Immune, immune, immune!'” Cheung wrote in one post.

https://x.com/TheStevenCheung/.../1807803497133285407



In another post, Cheung painted a bleak picture of the morale within the Biden campaign. “This Biden campaign call is the saddest thing I’ve ever listened to. They have given up,” he wrote. These words are indicative of a campaign that seems to have lost its vigor and conviction following Biden’s disastrous performance.

https://x.com/TheStevenCheung/.../1807803861031178355



Cheung then humorously revealed that he was waiting in line to ask questions during the call. “I’m currently in the question queue. Have a good one,” he posted, highlighting how easily he had penetrated what should have been a secure communication channel.

https://x.com/TheStevenCheung/.../1807804081672732973



In his final revelation, Cheung exposed the lax security measures of the Biden team.

“I used my official campaign email and name to sign up for this conference call, and the Biden communications and press operation basically let in,” he wrote, adding, “Biden’s broke dick campaign.”

This blunder is a clear testament to how unprepared the Biden campaign is to handle even basic operational tasks.


https://x.com/TheStevenCheung/.../1807805590179102926



The episode ended with a twist of irony as a Biden press intern thanked participants for respecting the press embargo, a protocol that Cheung openly flaunted he did not adhere to.

BIDENOMICS: John Deere to Lay Off Hundreds in Midwest as Production Moves to Mexico

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...ion-moves-to-mexico/

John Deere, the leading global seller of tractors and crop harvesters, announced another round of layoffs last Friday due to a collapse in demand and a slowing U.S. economy. The company informed approximately 610 production staff in its Illinois and Iowa plants that their employment would end by the end of the summer. According to John Deere, all layoffs will take effect on August 30.The agricultural equipment supplier attributed the layoffs to reduced demand for its products manufactured at these locations. Despite reporting $10.166 billion in profits last year, the company cited rising operational costs and declining market demand as reasons for these changes. “We can confirm Deere leadership recently communicated that rising operational costs and declining market demand requires enterprise-wide changes in how work gets done to achieve our goals and best position the company for the future,” a company statement reads.

This month, the company also announced plans to transfer the production of skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from its Dubuque facility to Mexico by the end of 2026, citing rising domestic manufacturing costs in the United States. In October, John Deere laid off 225 employees at its Harvester Works plant in East Moline. This was followed by layoffs at other locations, including 34 workers in May at its Moline Cylinder Works factory and 150 more in March at its Ankeny, Iowa, facility. Approximately 500 employees were let go at its Waterloo plant in Iowa earlier this year.Lower crop prices have led to an excess of unsold tractors and combines, resulting in some equipment sellers offering discounts and suspending new orders. The Department of Agriculture forecasted a 25.5 percent decline in farm income to $116.1 billion this year compared to 2023 levels.
