Has anyone figured out what Obama’s end game is yet? He pushed Biden under the bus, but doesn’t endorse Harris. The DNC will be held in Chicago, his hometown, next month. What will his role be? Ringmaster, lion tamer, trapeze artist, or promoter who walks off with the nominee under his thumb and a fat Netflix contract in his pocket? Maybe this sounds ludicrous, but we’re always in for a surprise when we go to the circus! Will the DNC be any different?
Man your readers really don’t like you FP - must be tough trying to navigate the MAGA universe while maintaining the fiction of even handedness - always thought this was a fools game - you’ll never please the MAGA trying to keep it honest. But good luck to you Bari & co.
I think you're missing the point Liz. MAGA folks are drawn here because it IS a free press. Doesn't mean they are going to like every opinion or that they will be able to keep theirs to themselves, but that's why there're here instead of NYT, WaPo, etc.
Americans need to wake up and realize we have experienced a COUP...seemingly non-violent...but a silent COUP. Akin to regime change (US has been involved in many around the world!), it amounts to an illegal takeover of our government for their own agenda (power and money). If this goes unchallenged...there will be no turning back!
Obama's comment about Biden's ability to fuck things up is just childish.
I don't know the exact quote, but when he bragged about his "kill list," the list of people, including American citizens who had been neither arrested, charged, indicted, tried, convicted, or sentenced, whom he planned to kill--isn't that his most memorable line? That's what they call a killer quote.
1. As we are all aware, The Atlantic is a very even-handed, fair periodical that totally doesn't favor the status quo of warmongering and Wall Street control. Totally straight, as far as you know. No issues with Trump.
2. Elliott Ackerman says Trump peaked too early. He knows this because he is highly experienced. As a soldier. And as a novelist. He worked for the Obama administration, but I'm sure that was just his sense of public service, totally not political.
3. So a guy like that writes an article for The Atlantic saying something negative about Trump.
And you guys publish this nonsense with a link? And for future reference, when his article is entitled "The Trump Campaign Has Peaked Too Soon," he's not asking the question, he's telling you his answer.
Did MSNBC and the Post not have something stupid to link to today?
Well, as little enthused as I am about Kamala Harris, she's unquestionably *not a convicted felon*, is mentally acute, and is loads brighter than Donald Trump. Okay, so's my potted plant, but still.
Neither Biden, Harris, or the Sec of State showed up to meet Netanyahu at the airport today! However you feel about Netanyahu, this is SOP for any functional government
All the no shows for Netanyahu sends a heck of a message to the Russians and the Chinese and all our other "enemies".
My guess is that at this moment Biden is in such a state as to not be presentable in front of cameras.
One thing at a time. Our nation is indeed incredibly fragile & very visible to the world. I respectfully disagree with you on the Trump nazi thing; because arrogance & bad behavior does *NOT* equate to Adolf Hitler. Please reconsider.
That said, your concerns about Kamala are +EXTREMELY+ && very *VALID*.
Here’s a snapshot of my perspective: Replacing her merely validates everything we now know. It is implicit agreement with WHAT has been perpetuated in OUR COUNTRY is not only ok but can continue after this inconvenient REVEAL (i.e., The DEBATE). If we, the people, just let it go & are grateful to have an ugly open convention play out, & once concluded get out of it, someone or someones more acceptable than Kamala & not ill like President Biden, simply an acceptable quote, anybody who could win against Trump. & that’s the new acceptable bar for we, the people, who are Democrats, along with some undecided voters – there’s another slip on the dangerous, slippery slope,
BUT what about the UNELECTED who have been, are & will continue to run the country, & have either incentivized or placed fear into any & all who participated & continue to, including & especially the press.
It is their job to keep a level playing field. The internet changed EVERYTHING FOREVER & so let the out of the loop Americans make use of the internet to find TRUTH- period.
If, we all or the majority say, too busy, can’t, won’t, la, la, la, I can’t & refuse to have ears to hear & listening could poke my conscience & I don’t want to come out of my blissful bubble because me && mine are just doing great… then we are at the mercy of the few who have already made great headway at our literal expense to REIMAGINE the world & who gets what & how much , or any at all.
This remains an CONSTITUTIONAL crisis & WHAT message does this send to our allies, our enemies && our children.
Playing along & placing another puppet (I don’t like the word so feel free to suggest another one) to simply hand wave the entire last 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks &/or 3 days by swapping in a VP who is not qualified & could not possibly have been in the dark all this time sends many REALLY BAD messages.
Fool us ALL once & now EVERYONE has NO say whatsoever? I feel like a hostage; at the mercy of the rich, the well placed, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the intellects == the elite, those who are able to manipulate an entire generation using their adult children to do their bidding - the middle tier of quasi educated but USEFUL to whomever had been, is, & will continue running & redesigning the world.
They are above the common man & are sticking their middle finger at us & we’re like 👍 ok just make it go away…
THAT’s exactly what got us here- Covid lockdowns certainly pushed things along, yes?
This is absolutely absurd if one simply assembled & viewed in sequence the mainstream media from the Debate forward to today it’s a level of lunacy that CANNOT be understated.
We’ve literally reached, forgive the vulgarity, but how else can one communicate the utter GLARING CONTINUAL OUTRIGHT CONTEMPT that is being leveled to every single American who isn’t aware. Whether in words or deeds, we are being told , who are you going to believe? The lying cheating metaphoric ADULTERERS *or* your very own eyes?
Who has been reporting & who provides the latest scoop? Any & all press. Where do they get their information? Who are their sources & are they remotely *CREDIBLE*? Some sources: any & all known mega donors or unknown; other press agencies & their opinion writers leaning so far left they should have already tipped over && of course the unending insiders who are close to _______ but wish to remain anonymous && then there’s X & every facet of social & business online platforms && all the streaming services… smartphones, disappearing text messages & let us THEN throw in the very real actual AI & who is overseeing all things AI.
Dear God in Heaven, may everyone do everything in their power to make sure that Kamila is replaced with anyone. Kamila is Engles on the left vs Trump is nazi on the right. Can the fragile nation survive either?
"Most campaign finance experts say the cash can go to Kamala Harris’s presidential bid as her name is on the ticket."
What ticket? There ain't none, because Biden wasn't nominated yet when he resigned! Oops! [I'm getting it from a Charlie Spies in a WSJ piece from July 8, and apparently Sarah Isgur at The Dispatch is also a doubter.]
Doesn't Howard Stern need to be vetted as to why he set Joe Biden up for that ridiculous notion of an early debate with Trump?Stern was the assassin brought in to bait Trump and the cocksucker par excellence disappears into the gloom and somebody needs to give you the beating you ought to have gotten on the playground----
And just like that, the democrats do what democrats do and almost unanimously declare KAMALA IS GREAT AND SMART AND WE WILL VOTE FOR HER yellow school busses, venn diagrams and the significance of the persistence of time notwithstanding unburdened by the gibberish which came before b

Yep. If Jan 6 was an insurrection, then Jul 21 was a coup.

Or they're not really happy to see him.
In the "winners" column you neglected to mention The Oligarchy. Once again, they have the last laugh.
Jesse you inspired this & it needs massaging & the FP has another post up.

Then: "Joe Biden is a senile coot who can't function as POTUS!!"
Now: "How DARE Joe Biden step down and the Democrats field a new candidate!"
Anyone got the over/under on when the "Birther" stuff comes back?
And just like that, the democrats do what democrats do and almost unanimously declare KAMALA IS GREAT AND SMART AND WE WILL VOTE FOR HER yellow school busses, venn diagrams and the significance of the persistence of time notwithstanding unburdened by the gibberish which came before b
I’m looking at you FP.
Then: "Joe Biden is a senile coot who can't be POTUS again!"
Now: "How dare Joe Biden step down!!"
