'Chill out': John Fetterman whacks 'vultures' calling on Biden to drop out

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Friday hammered Democrats who are calling on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race after his widely panned debate performance on Thursday evening.

Writing on Twitter, Fetterman pushed back at Democrats who are anonymously sniping at Biden and he used his own experience with a poor debate performance back in 2022 to emphasize that such moments do not doom campaigns.

"I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate," he wrote. "No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record. Morning-after thermonuclear beat downs from my race from the debate and polling geniuses like 538 predicted l’d lose by 2. And what happened? The only seat to flip and won by a historic margin (+5)."

He then urged his fellow Democrats to buck up and bluntly said, "Chill the f--k out."

President Biden WON the debate!!!!! ----

according to the Republicans,
he was supposed to drop dead while entering the stage,
drool on himself, shit his diapers (which he does not wear, but Trump does)
or not realize where he was....

None of those things happened, so he has 'won' the 'expectations game'!

He also responded reasonably well to the questions presented,
while also displaying a life-long problem with stuttering,
as well as a slight slowdown in responses natural with aging--- SO WHAT?!

He also called out Trump as a CONVICTED FELON,
and a PERPETUAL LIAR, which he IS
(and social media has been fact-checking all the Trump lies from tonight,
and it is not going very well for him)

NO, President Biden is not a Barack Obama or a Ted Kennedy rhetorically---
he is one of us lessor beings--- but he is sincere, tells the truth,
and cares about us.

That's enough for me.


Enough of the surrender-monkey bed-wetting, fellow Democrats...

"The only man on this stage who is a convicted felon

is the man I'm looking at right now."

- President Joe Biden

Netizens Ask 'What in the Dementia Is This' After Trump Gives Strange Rambling Interview

https://www.inquisitr.com/netizens-ask-what-in-the-dementia-is-this-after-trump-gives-strange-rambling-interview


Social media was left scratching their heads after former president Donald Trump's bizarre, rambling interview aired on Newsmax recently. In the interview, Trump focused mostly on his upcoming debate against Democrat candidate President Joe Biden, but the bit for which he is facing massive trolling on social media is when Trump criticized the border under the current administration.

WHAT IN THE DEMENTIA IS THIS? https://t.co/T7p3r9YAYx

The criticism slowly veered into exaggerated claims about deaths because of Biden's border policy, with Trump suggesting that hundreds have died. But his speech was completely incoherent, with many not being able to understand what he was saying. Meidas Touch reporter Acyn uploaded a clip, with the captions suggesting Trump was saying, "We lose hundreds of, think of it, hundreds of thousands of people are dying at our border, coming through our border every year because of our border."


Internet users slammed the former president, with a user joking, "WHAT IN THE DEMENTIA IS THIS?" Another user mocked, saying, "Just a preview of what to expect at the debate. It’s gonna be nuts." Another user slammed, "Every day is hell when millions of people confuse whatever the hell this is with POTUS material..." Someone else slammed, "Trump's brain rot has been the least discussed topic in mainstream media history."

Then, one individual commented on Trump's usage of the phrase 'think of it,' saying, "'Think of it' is one of the phrases Trump uses in a desperate attempt to cover up one of his ever-escalating cognitive glitches." Another user charged with a similar jab, "Fun fact, every time he says 'Think of it' another few brain cells just died," with yet another user saying, "'Think of it' is his tell anytime his memory trips over itself."

I really hope that Trump shows for the debate, because

I don't want to spend the next four months following him around
while wearing a Trump mask and a chicken body costume,
and being turned away by Secret Service as a potentially dangerous character....

Poll: Will Trump show up for the debate ?

June 25, 2024

POLL: Do you plan to watch the first presidential debate (live)?

Rather than 'anecdotal' responses, it would seem more scientific to post an actual poll, which I can do, so I am.


ScrippsNews and ABC are reportedly going to simulcast it, so you don't need to have cable to see it on CNN...

Edit: Also now reported as being carried by CBS and NBC, so hopefully anyone interested will be able to find it--
although it will be up to local network affiliate channels whether they broadcast it or not-- seems like most of them would.

TNR: Trump Just Revealed How He'll Attack Biden at Debate--and It's Vile

https://newrepublic.com/article/182993/trump-biden-debate-attack

Trump Just Revealed How He’ll Attack Biden at Debate—and It’s Vile
He’s going to pin “migrant killings” on Biden. It’s false, and here’s how Biden should respond.


You can’t say you weren’t warned: At the upcoming presidential debate on June 27, Donald Trump plans to highlight a handful of horrific murders—allegedly by undocumented migrants—and blame them on President Biden. We know this because Trump told us so right on his Truth Social feed.

“We have a new Biden Migrant Killing—it’s only going to get worse, and it’s all Crooked Joe Biden’s fault,” Trump seethed, referring to the horrible death of a 12-year-old Texas girl. “I look forward to seeing him at the Fake debate on Thursday. Let him explain why he has allowed MILLIONS of people to come into our Country illegally!”

Now that Trump has telegraphed this coming assault, the Biden campaign has time to prepare a response. What should it be?

First, let’s be clear on why this line of attack is pure nonsense. Trump and MAGA figures have aggressively highlighted such killings lately, in many forms: Trump sometimes brings up victims at campaign events. MAGA lawmakers put them on T-shirts. Fox News airs visuals of migrant mug shots. And as Aaron Rupar shows, Fox sometimes even puts individual crimes in chyrons.

^^^ I do advise actually reading the article, for once--- it debunks every possible line of attack on this issue...

June 21, 2024

Possibly I should buy a handgun and get licensed to carry,

in order to protect myself from mad-dog armed and dangerous Republican state legislators,
as well as the average armed magats, who may take offense
when you wrinkle your nose at the flag of their orange god....
or simply say "happy holidays" to them...

I could have been the "good guy with a gun" in that scenario,
since it obviously was NOT the GOP Michigan state legislator in question---
but sounds like it would have been a 'good shoot' if I had
felt compelled to defend the stripper...

Something about MTG, and dogs

That's all. It doesn't need to make any sense....

Daily Kos: Nate Cohn just put asterisks by every NYT poll of late showing Trump leading

For much of this year, we, like most of Team Blue, have swallowed hard at The New York Times/Siena national polls showing Trump ahead of Biden. But early Friday morning, NYT chief election analyst Nate Cohn penned something that amounted to putting big, fat asterisks by all those polls. He noted that when he crunched the numbers, Trump’s advantage in the NYT/Siena polls is built on voters who aren’t paying much attention to this election cycle.

"The polls have shown Donald Trump with an edge for eight straight months, but there’s a sign his advantage might not be quite as stable as it looks: His lead is built on gains among voters who aren’t paying close attention to politics, who don’t follow traditional news and who don’t regularly vote."

Disengaged voters on the periphery of the electorate are driving the polling results — and the story line — about the election.

This is just staggering. We’re well before the point where most legitimate pollsters turn on the likely voter screen, and Cohn is effectively saying that much of Trump’s lead is built on disengaged voters.

Specifically, Cohn noticed that in the last three NYT/Siena polls, Biden leads among those who voted in 2020. He has near-unanimous support among “high-turnout Democratic-leaning voters,” but holds only three-fourths of Democratic-leaning voters who stayed home in 2020. Cohn has been remarkably silent on Twitter, given that—and it bears repeating—he just put huge asterisks by almost all of the NYT/Siena polls from this year.
