    Watched some local news garbo because gf’s mom had it on and one of the indicators for Trump doing better than Biden at the debate was that he “finished his sentences”

    it’s just… so fuckin’ funny to watch America melt in on itself in real time sit-back-and-enjoy

      How did people get from Obummer in 16 to accepting Biden stammering and losing his train of thought 8 years later? I know this has happened before with Reagan and maybe Bush the Elder, but damn how the fuck? How did they go from obama’s charismatic orations to bringing the knives out when someone suggests Biden should step down? They did the same thing for Ginsberg too, though, I guess. Idfk.

        It’s like team sport to them. If you are a fan of FC Blue you support them whether there giving a good performance or a shitty one. You might yell at the coach from time to time if they don’t perform but you would never want to see another team win and you would never accept anyone but other FC Blue ultras talking shit about your team.

    Hexbears please tell me which of the following scenarios is more likely:

    The President - also the High Priest of the Neoliberal sect - has been subjected to an occult ritual to become the Vessel for the Dark God of Capital, which takes an unknown form residing within the flesh of the President. In the evening, the entity leaves the flesh and returns to its Temple, as it finds the frail body of the President a harsh condition for long-term habitation.

    The President is senile.

      He’s sundowning. He likely has Alzheimer’s. But we will never know because of his fucking cult like staff.

      I’m so fucking mad at his staff.

      Not because they are lying assholes saying Biden was fine for months. That is a level of fraud comparable to Elizabeth Holmes with Theranos or Sam bad haircut with FTX.

      I’m fucking mad at them because they are making me feel sympathetic to the fucking NYT and Pod Save America with their snarky attacks for insulting their emperor with no clothes.

      It’s like a whole group of people decided to become Baghdad Bob reincarnated.

      Or his ‘executive’ time in the morning. It’s literally the same thing, including impromptu press conferences in front of the fucking helicopter.

      It’ll be revealed by a staffer in a book deal. This staffer was later found to be ruthlessly attacking everyone on social media and even doxxing dissenters because they needed a paycheck during the 2024 election. Can anyone think of the DC consultants 🥺.

    I wish I could work 3 hours a day and have a legion of TV brains defend me on social media when I call a garage a “Johnny Shack” while campaigning in a town called Pigsfoot, Ohio.

    The solution is simple. We just coordinate with the world’s leaders to conduct business - whether political, economic, or military - within those hours. We ask Putin and Hamas to ceasefire during the fatigue hours so we can make governance and politics more accessible, inclusive, and equitable to President Biden.
