Well, yes Joe

Trump was exceedingly lucky in the awfulness of his two Dem opponents for President. But in the second contest he was purportedly beaten by a corrupt, senile twat who hid in a basement. I suspect foul play.

I suspect foul play.

Don’t. In our collective wisdom, we septics selected a man who does bad things in a nice manner over a man who does nice things in a bad manner. Is was a triumph of form over substance, and ‘Merica is getting what it wanted, and getting it good and hard.

You had to go through Carter to get to Reagan. We are now going through Biden, and it is the necessary price to get to either Trump, or the Trump Generation of Republicans.

My favorite was when one of Biden’s staffers passed him a note that said, “Sir, there is something on your chin.”

Luckily, he won’t have a pandemic to exploit next time. Will make it much more difficult to control the media and censor the opposition.

Dennis – yes, you should definitely just vote harder next time lol

More often, too.

Though at my age harder and more often grow ever more improbable with each passing day.

We need to talk about Joe Biden …

The most shameful portion of the sit-down, however, came when the leaders began to interact with the press in the room. Biden derisively replied ‘good luck’ when Johnson suggested the pair take questions from the pool reporters then refused to call on any members of the American media.

Once Johnson had taken questions from the British press, Biden’s wranglers cut the British PM off mid-sentence, yelling at the media to leave the room. Biden eventually appeared prepared to respond to a question about the border from CBS’s Ed O’Keefe, but the wranglers continued to shout so that reporters could not hear the President’s answer.

It is bad enough that lower-level communications staffers prevented their boss from speaking to the media, but it is a pure disgrace that they also thought it appropriate to interrupt a visiting world leader. Can you imagine the international incident that would have erupted if British officials refused to let the President speak freely to the press while abroad?

I have been in the Oval Office as a member of the press pool. During the Trump administration, I saw wranglers corral reporters rather aggressively. But they have always backed off when a world leader has indicated that they want to take further questions from the press.

I wonder how long it will be before the Dem leadership feel they can use the 25th without it looking like the stitch-up they obviously intended?

“On the gripping hand, Harris can’t be displaced by someone better”

Hur hur fnar, fnar

Democrats using the 25th is a pipe dream. Using opens up a can of worms they can’t manage.

If Democrats lose both the House and the Senate next year, both of which seems to be trending towards certainty, you will see open civil war between what’s left of the moderates and the progressive wing. Pelosi, and probably Schumer, will be replaced with God Knows Who. If the progressives take on leadership positions, you’ll start seeing moderate Democrats begin to defect… either joining the Republican Party or simply becoming Independents.

Against that backdrop, you cannot admit to the nation that your candidate cannot function and must be replaced.

Democrats using the 25th is a pipe dream.

Biden’s condition may give them no choice. There is a limit to what wobbly pile of sludge they can prop up.

“he won’t have a pandemic to exploit next time”: no doubt one can be arranged.

Biden’s condition
I wonder if he has to have a permanent catheter inserted and a pee bag down his trouser leg to avoid embarrassing public incidents?

@Addolff

Set your calendar!!

Dennis: ” There could be no Reagan without Carter.”

But that gives the Dems four more years to bring in new voters and to entrench themselves even more deeply in the Deep State. They’ll make absolutely sure that there can never be a repeat of Trump 2016.

I’m not convinced about the ‘stolen election’. If the Dems are clever and sneaky enough to have managed it, how come they now can’t do anything right?

Really depends what you mean by “right”. There seems to be plenty of gravy sloshing round for the well-connected; China is being appeased, and lip-service is being paid to the progressive shibboleths. The journos are just too stupid to realise that they’re the useful idiots thus don’t need buying off seeing as in a rematch they would do exactly the same as last time, ‘cos Orange Man (or any other non-swamp candidate) Bad.

Yes, they’re naffing up the country, but their funders are somewhere between ambivalent toward that and actively in favour of it.
