    He’s pissed.

    Pissed Joe is the best Joe. After listening to Michael Steele on the way home tonight, I’m optimistic about Joe’s chances now.

    After the debate performance and the various gaffs he always makes, he’s statistically tied. If he keeps hammering Project 2025, the corrupt courts, and what the Trump presidency will do, he can pull this off. He has to keep this up through both debates and do alright through those.

    Roll up those sleeves, gird those loins, and educate just what project 2025 will do!

      Something I frequently see missing from discussions on Project 2025 is the criminalization of trans people, very clearly calling for their murder. It labels trans people as pornography, pornography as child abuse, and calls for the death penalty for child abusers.

        Thank you, I’ve been raising this alarm for at least two years since Florida came up with this combo wombo. No one believes me.

        This is why I’m looking at my options for exit strategies right now. I know I’ll be among the first sent to the camps.

      When you start checking those page numbers (if this is the same version that’s been circulating) you may find that they don’t line up to those plans.

        Vice presidential is one to watch.

        If Harris eats whatever sludge he throws up there alive, shows that she’s presidential material, and hammers project 2025. Just talk about that and that alone. That one thing and one thing alone will win this.

        It’s has:

        Abandonment of veterans

        Subjugation of women

        A gigantic expansion of the government via the border patrol and religion

        Purposeful weakening of the US dollar

        Gigantic gift again to the 1%

        Abandonment of our kids via abolishing Dept of Education and feeding them (a huge portion of the population actually depends on this meal especially in red states)

        It ticks every goddamn box imaginable lol.

    Why hasn’t trump responded to this yet? It’s like he’s hiding somewhere. I’m seeing more and more Republicans refusing to endorse trump, or actively voting against him:

    I just don’t see how he can make it to the election. Eventually he’s going to have to drop out so Republicans can nominate someone else.

    I don’t know that any amount of homeruns will help at this point. The barn door is open, the horses have bolted. A significant minority of his party has openly called for him to step down, and one of the most influential members all but asked him to drop out in a public statement. That’s going to be a millstone around his neck going forward.

      It will be, but if he can hold it together for one more month, then have a stellar performance at the convention, it will go a long way.

        That man is supposed to hold the office for 4 more years, not one more month.

        Dems were so fucking arrogant in 2016, they are doing the same thing again. They can’t read the room 😕

          The contingencies for a President dying in office are rigorously tested by time. A fascist takeover the likes of this has never happened in America. I’ll take electing someone who might not make it the four years, or really whoever isn’t the guy trying to turn this place into a christian version of the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

            Yes obviously even a dead guy is better than a fascist but the problem is getting the corpse back in the office.

              No, the problem is preventing the fascist from getting into the office. Fuck the corpse, we’ll Weekend at Bernie’s it if we have to. Let’s bring the focus back to the fascists. All this talk about replacement is just a blatant diversion from that.
