Instead of giving a rousing and historically significant speech yesterday greeted by a standing ovation of NATO attendees what if President Biden said this:
“A waitress came over, beautiful waitress, and I never like talking about physical. She’s beautiful inside. Because you never talk about a person’s look. Ever. You never mention it. The other day I got very angry. Some man called Chris Christie fat. And I said, ‘sir!’ And then he said he was a pig. I said, ‘sir! Chris Christie is not a fat pig. Please remember that.'”
“Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing and hosp–lee. And we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, ‘What can I do? What can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our country in Washington DC … right now if you leave Florida — ‘oh, let’s go darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial’ … and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped. We’re gonna take over our capital and we’re gonna run it tough and smart.”
— Donald Trump yesterday at Florida rally

—Said he didn’t know what NATO was when he was president

where’s the beef bacon? Trump airs list of false grievances at Florida rally: ‘We don’t eat bacon any more’ | US elections 2024 | The Guardian […] The former president and presumptive Republican nominee was speaking to a crowd of several hundred supporters at his golf club in Doral, a western suburb of Miami, keeping them waiting in 90F heat for a freewheeling monologue that began more than an hour later than scheduled. […] His remarks on Tuesday were notable for adding the vice-president’s name to numerous attacks on Biden policies, and sprinkling in mentions of both Rubio and Byron Donalds, a Republican Florida congressman also believed to be on Trump’s shortlist for vice-president. Otherwise, it was a standard Trump stump speech, full of evidence-free claims that his 2020 election defeat was fraudulent; baseless accusations that overseas nations were sending to the US “most of their prisoners”; and a laughable… Read more »
and where’s the coverage? Congressman shames media for ignoring Trump’s name in newly released Epstein documents (msn.com) House Democrats met Tuesday to discuss President Joe Biden’s candidacy, but one lawmaker wanted to know why the press has spent a second week on that story instead of looking at recently released Florida court documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case. “We hear a lot from our constituents on different issues,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) said at the news conference Tuesday. “But something I’ve heard that doesn’t seem to be being covered are the Epstein files.” He explained that Trump is all over the documents with photos of him as well as rape allegations from children. The details have trended on the social media site X under the tag #TrumpPedoFiles. […] In a surprise move, Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered the documents be released last week, shortly before the Fourth of July holiday. “The testimony taken… Read more »
Republicans released a party platform that pledges full allegiance to Donald Trump, JD Vance’s facial hair may sink his VP chances, and a report detailed the Biden team’s efforts to conceal signs of the president’s age-related decline.
smoldering embers out there that could catch fire if media ever stop chewing on joe What the Jeffrey Epstein Documents Reveal About Donald Trump (nymag.com) Speculation about which famous and powerful figures would be tarnished by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal heated up at the end of last year when a judge ordered that court documents from a years-old case related to the disgraced financier be made public. And while Epstein’s black book contained a staggering number of A-listers and high-society pals, perhaps the biggest question surrounding the court documents’ unsealing was what they would reveal about Donald Trump. The hype escalated on the afternoon of January 3, 2024, when Mark Epstein said that three years before his brother died in jail while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, he told him he knew secrets that could blow up the presidential election between Trump and Hillary Clinton. “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said what I know… Read more »

Pelosi is coming up shortly on Morning Joe. Will be interesting to see where she stands now.
Nancy Pelosi just now on Morning Joe, full of praise for Biden’s presidency, but on whether he should quit the race:
Puzzling. He’s decided. But she acts like it’s still an open question. She’s keeping the door open, the one he tried to close. Not an endorsement for him to stay in, never did say what she thinks he should decide.
Excellent round-up here of Trump’s latest rally circus by online pundit Art Candee… Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it: He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory. He said he didn’t know what NATO was. He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.” He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there. He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds. He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.” He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell. He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this… Read more »
remember this book warning of Drumpft’s dementia: wiki: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trumpis a 2017 book edited byBandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, containing essays from 27psychiatrists,psychologists, and othermental health professionalsdescribing the “clear and present danger” thatUS PresidentDonald Trump‘s mental health poses to the “nation and individual well being”.A second edition updated and expanded the book with additional essays. Lee maintains that the book remains strictly a public service, and all royalties were donated to the public good to remove any conflict of interest. Authors argue that the President’s mental health was affecting the mental health of the people of the United States and that he places the country at grave risk of involving it in a war, and of undermining democracy itself due to his dangerous pathology. Consequently, the authors claim, Trump’s presidency represents an emergency which not only allows, but requires psychiatrists in the United States to… Read more »
So, these insane ramblings are… written on the teleprompter??
…and is this “Hannibal Lecter” reference he keeps making some sort of code i don’t understand?
bink, his projection of self?
Hannibal Lecter. Great guy. Has friends
overfor dinner.What a Dumbass.
yeah so i think it’s trump that’s rope-a-doping and these speeches are full of dog-whistles only the zealots can hear if they’re even paying attention
underestimate him at your peril
cons currently building-out systems to challenge the election results if and when they lose, be advised
Send lawyers, Chinese food, and money
The main stand-out feature of his personality is Sadism so he feels a basic kinship with Hannibal Lecter. The one thing which would give him the most absolute pleasure would be if he could kill people, like Putin does. He really wants to kill people. You just know he’s got a list somewhere…..probably tucked into that volume of Schiclegruber .Speeches.
There is that helicopter crash……but of course it wouldn’t please him unless he could let everyone know he’d done it. He’s such a pig.
Stump and rope-a-DOPE, probably a lot of that. But also you can look at him and know that he took some form of “speed” for that debate. Drug test for September.
And not just kill people; but only kill them after having humiliated them. He’s nothing if he can’t humiliate. Everything he does is an attempt to humiliate someone.
What if Maga Americans weren’t consuming a daily diet of rotten fox meat, worms, and various other detritus that has destroyed their ability to recognize, let alone digest, normal healthy food.
point is, i think Dems are snookering themselves with that “Dementia J. Trump” tack
i don’t think he has dementia, i think he’s just an asshole
vote blue down ballot ✌️ 🇺🇸
Remember that mobster that conveniently developed “dementia” right after he was indicted, he wandered around Queens in a bathrobe for show, Gigante, i think?
Mobsters gonna mobster
he so lusts for brutal power, the page is spotted with his drooling “Think of President Xi. Central casting, brilliant guy. You know, when I say he’s brilliant, everyone says, ‘Oh that’s terrible,’” said Trump …. “Well, he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist.”. Donald Trump just can’t stop praising Vladimir Putin | CNN Politics: ” Yes, Putin was smart. And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. I said, ‘That’s a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.’” […] “They say, ‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions,” Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, according to a recording of the event. “I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country – really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just… Read more »
On explaining his bizarre Hannibal Lecter obsession, as a longtime watcher of his rally speeches the best i can do is to note that he always brings it up as he’s telling his ritual lie that Mexico is emptying out its insane asylums to our border. And of course in the course of his perverse logic that means Joe Biden is sending cannibals to the suburbs to eat our children.
I think it would do the Biden team well to focus on the Sadism as one of their attack lines. Most regular people have had to deal with Sadists, at work in school in church, in car pools, etc. I’ve been listening to the psychologists podcast, and one thing keeps coming up is the Sadism so I’ve been looking at clips new and old and the Sadism shows up in all of them.

Ah, i get it, now.

A) i’m sorry
B) we need that skill, seriously
you might be the Alan Turing of our day
Sen. Blumenthal just now on CNN: “I am deeply concerned about Joe Biden winning in November”
Biden is clearly not listening to subtle Masonic tongues. These folks either have to be more direct or shut up.
This sort of applies to the thread of today; I like to think that I am not one to “…preach to the choir,” so I’ll not. A old lawyer adage is “…if the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and facts are against you, just argue.” So I see a lot of “just argue” and no compromise or relenting. I bring this up because I like to watch all news media (left and right) and the quote sort of applies; just argue. As I read through the threads here I can see that most are dyed in the wool with their opinions and a bit of that may apply to me. I ask how can a person with a tad bit of common sense take in both news media sides and make decisions based on what each… Read more »
I may not understand what the supremely stupid just did but
Couldn’t Biden have Trump arrested for Treason . Really lock him up
Pilar, like I’ve heard judges say, “Often in error, but never in doubt”
George Clooney: I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee.
Clooney:
Been thinking about this, looked up the full quote. Alexandra Pelosi on her mother, “She can cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.”
Well, Orange Adolf has given VP Harris one of his childish nicknames. He’s scared.
And, no matter what happens next week, she’s on the ticket.
Kamala Harris is already on the ticket. We don’t need a new nominee.
Another rich donor speaks, and it is “I don’t want Joe”, nothing else, just destroy the Democratic Party. No follow up with anything.
Michael Douglas Tells ‘The View’ He’s “Deeply, Deeply Concerned” About Biden, Says George Clooney Has “Valid Point”
Looks like, whether or not it matters he’s lost Hollywood.
Hi Craig: I may be in doubt, but think I recall a few facts. I have little care in what politicians say, it’s what they do that is concerning me; ‘da facts. The “fact” thing that is bothering me was the state of our country (border, inflation, crime, gas pipeline, self sufficiency, etc.) on the day before Biden took office and today. To me, the facts are self-evident. As the case agent in federal criminal cases, I have sat through many many trials and never saw a jury ignore the facts/evidence. On a couple of occasions I went to the US Attorney to get an indictment/charge dismissed when I learned my facts were not as they first appeared and we should not proceed with a trial. So I know a thing or two about the difference between facts, and “what appeared to be.” And now, for the past 3+ years… Read more »
Some facts about America on the day Trump left office: — 2.9 million net loss of jobs — 6.3% unemployment — Highest trade deficit since 2008 — 3 million more Americans without health insurance — Federal debt up from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion — Home prices up 27.5% — Apprehensions at the Southwest border up 4.7% — Coal production down 26.5% — Coal-mining jobs down 16.7% — Highest murder rate since 1997

“On the evening of July 9, 1776, downtown New York City was in a rebellious mood. The Declaration of Independence had been read aloud that day in lower Manhattan for the first time, announcing to the city that the Revolution against British rule had begun. That night, 40 colonial soldiers and sailors under the command of Capt. Oliver Brown crept into a dark alley near the park at Bowling Green. Their mission? To pull down a statue of King George III.”
And, we are NOT going back despite what the illegitimate SCOTUS members (they lied under oath to Congress to get the job) pushed through.
Ivy – Exactly. Harris is on the ticket, no matter what, and she’s got his giant, tighty whiteys in a bunch.
Instead of yesterday’s hateful and discombobulated rants of the orange, toddler tyrant leading the news, we have…George Clooney coming out against Biden.
~Way to go, George~ Thanks for redirecting the news-cycle back to a debate that happened two weeks ago tomorrow. Dumbass!
Instead of moving forward and focusing on Biden’s speech at yesterday’s NATO meeting, Dems are mired in mess of their own making.
For the love of it all Dems, stop helping the fascists!
for the past 3+ years I have been sitting through a trial, and I doubt I am being misled by the facts/evidence Republican trolls are promulgating online the deception that Biden is responsible for a net increase in gas prices during his administration – well, they did peak during the height of the embargo against Russia, but they are back down to where they were 3-4 years, ago. You have gas pumps in your town i’ll bet, go look for yourself If you’re getting your “facts” from media with no independent investigation beyond that, then no wonder you’re confused Do liberals spin stuff? Of course. If you’re just looking for permission to harbor racist or misogynist attitudes, you’re not going to get it from liberals. If you’re a Christian and support the state imposing those beliefs or lifestyle on me or anyone else, then you were never a… Read more »

Clooney and Douglas —they are “Hollywood” like .Mark Warner and Bernie Sanders are “The Democrats”.

AXIOS: Schumer open to dumping Biden in 2024 https://www.axios.com/2024/07/10/schumer-biden-dump-donors-2024-election
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is privately signaling to donors that he’s open to a Democratic presidential ticket that isn’t led by President Biden, Axios has learned.”
Stephen King is smart and plays bass, like Hulk Hogan…..he’ll figure it out.
No, Huckabee don’t play bass. He HAS a bass. But is he “playing” it? That depends on what the meaning of the word “is “ is.
The Dems who are doing this publicly and during a NATO meeting…sigh…they are only helping the fascists because, guess what, that’s all that is being reported now. Not NATO, not Orange Adolf’s crazy musings yesterday, it’s just who is calling on Biden to step down.
I have almost zero confidence that everyone would get behind Harris, and absolutely zero confidence that Dems would get behind a single VP candidate.
That Clooney statement is getting heavy play on good old CNN along with backup from someone who also attended the fundraiser.
If Schumer doesn’t deny that story before the night is out I’d say the dam is breached
Anybody checked in with Alec Baldwin yet?
Not rhetorical: How do they force him out if he is unwilling to drop, and do they REALLY want to start from scratch with a new candidate and no financing?
