Frank Biden is an alcoholic. Why is he being cites as a source for anything?



It so obvious Biden has Parkinson's.

If you had a parent with it you'd know.

The slow walking, the blank stare, the stuttering.

They should have just made Joe say no to another run back in 2023.

Does anyone else see Kamala’s husband, Doug Emhoff, as a liability here? Given all the anti-Semitic rhetoric of late I wonder how folks are going to feel about having a Jew as the first First Gentleman…. (I say this as a Jew who has been worried about folks saying they wouldn’t vote Biden given his actions with Israel).

Another reason I doubt it will be Shapiro as the VP btw…


No.

He is his own guy and isn't all that involved as a "second gentleman"



Not true. He is the administration’s designated outreach to the Jewish community.

You heard it here first.



Has Michelle ever been elected to anything?
Might as well choose a popular actor if we're throwing the need for experience out the window.


Trump wasn’t elected for anything either but I’m going based on AOCs video yesterday and the rumor that donors hung up on Kamala. Donors don’t want to waste millions on a wasted candidate and no donors = no campaign which is why Biden was forced out. If Kamala doesn’t get the donors to warm up to her, then Mo will be brought in by force at the 11th hour and her husband will run the presidency yet again

Who are these donors? I mean, the Dems have gained record amounts since Biden dropped. His purse was literally drying up.

I am waiting for Dems to start their “we need someone electable” spiel (aka we don’t want a person of color or woman), so we can get some milk toast white dude no one’s heard of though- that’ll be exciting. Even when “Mom”ala is the safest option, we’re still trying to Herbert Humphrey our way through an election, hilarious.

Elected Democrats have been falling over themselves to endorse Harris and ActBlue is blowing up today. She will be the nominee.

So silly, have you talked to Indians and other south Asians. Many did not support Harris in '20. Like other groups many in that group also are sexist.


Or you know, they don’t support her on the issues and it’s not sexism at all. Like Hilary, Kamala isn’t owed a vote for her sex. She has to earn it.


Exactly. I can't believe there are still people (Democrats) who believe not voting for the woman is somehow "sexist."

Racists gotta racist.


What is racist about John Morgan?


There is minimal policy difference between Biden and Harris. If a Biden funder decides not to support Harris, then it is either race or gender that is triggering.


Or just maybe he doesn’t want to support a losing candidate???


And it was clear Biden wasn't going to win.

There isn't another Dem who polled as well as Biden or Harris.

So at this juncture, there isn't a "win" for the Dems unless it is with the political and campaign infrastructure already in place.

You sound like one of those ladies who gets all wrapped up in soap operas and thinks she's part of the story.


Some of the political pundits stand by a Michelle scenario.

Would rather have Kamala, who is smarter and more accomplished. Likely an unpopular view.



I don't know why everybody is so obsessed with Michelle running for office when she has been pretty clear about not wanting to do anything with politics.

You have got to be kidding. Everyone on both sides and every walk of life or media source has known that Joe was in declining health and experiencing dementia for quite awhile now. Of course the White House tried to contain that story while they figured out what to do next. But maybe you are also outraged at the media and the RNC for pretending that Trump is a stable genius here to save the world as if there's not a thing wrong with him, right?


There is zero evidence of dementia. But keep lying. He is old and declining, but it was clear from the NATO press conference that he doesn't have dementia.

He has basically all but pulled out.

And his VP, JP Mandell, won't debate whoever the Dem is either. They know how badly they are exposed on the issues and the ties to billionaires and Project 2025.


This is such BS. Where is your evidence? A tweet that said the debate should be hosted by Fox and not CBS? How is that "all but pulling out"?

+1

Dem pols are all behind her. This is her nomination to lose. And her election to lose.

All she has to do is put together a few coherent sentences. I think a lot of the country is willing to overlook awkward or annoying at this point. All she has to do is not totally blow it.

I watched the interview. You are totally taking what she said out of context.

DP. Exactly. Who else has a name out there that they could run? It's not like Andy Beshear is a national name, though I hope he gets the VP.

Not going to happen.

Harris will have the nomination wrapped up by Wednesday according to sources on the news.

Obama is keeping quiet as he did in 2016 and 2020, nothing new.

And Michelle isn't happening. She has no interest and isn't qualified.


Qualifications don’t matter and I actually disagree that MO isn’t qualified . She’s more qualified than Kamala . Her push for added sugar to be added on nutrition labels was hugely influential but it’s not noted by anyone in media for some reason . I will always appreciate her for that. In my eyes, that was more revolutionary than what Barack did with Obamacare especially for communities where diabetes runs rampant .



Okay, this is absurd, and I'm not even pro-Harris.

Then why have Obama, Michelle, Pelosi and Jeffries refused to endorse Hartis?


Because they are letting Joe have his moment. They will endorse her in a few days.

Now YOU can't get on an airplane without proper ID, but these illegal aliens? Sure. YOU can't travel all over the country without a covid test, but these illegal aliens? Sure. You aren't given credit cards loaded with eleven thousand dollars, but these illegal aliens? Sure. YOU vets will remain homeless, but these illegal aliens will be given room and board at $300 a night hotels for months on end. The cities are going broke...but so what. Everything is wonderful as long as the "browning of America" continues. Just make sure they don't some to certain places like Martha's Vineyard or Denver or other liberal enclaves with gated communities.

Sincerely yours,
The DNC

This is completely fair as long as we can fault a certain Texas Governor for throwing immigrants on a bus and plane rides to other states....


You realize you've created an agitative situation of pitting state against state, right. That seems to be what you leftists revel in.

Not really. If you're scared to death of migrants and hate them illegally entering, it surely would suck if a governor takes those migrants and gets them on transit to SPREAD even further out through the country.


DP. The point, which you insist on missing over and over, is that liberals are quite happy to pay lip service to welcoming migrants. Well, as long as they’re not in THEIR backyard. Out of sight, out of mind, amirite? Once they become a reality in YOUR life, then all of a sudden we have “a problem.” You people are the poster children for hypocrisy.


I have lived 95% of my life with and around migrants - shopping, eating, living life etc., including growing up and going to school and my kids doing the same.

Now, I do think we need to streamline the process of immigration but that is a separate issue.


You are very much in the minority if you have no problem with illegal immigrants receiving free healthcare, housing, and education in the U.S.


You do realize that even those who are undocumented are largely paying taxes right? They are contributing to those things just the same as you and me. It’s not “free.”


Sorry, no. When they receive free emergency room care (using it like a typical doctor’s office) , the taxpayers are footing the bill. When their children crowd the schools, the kids who are actually citizens get far less attention. We all know this. The “paying taxes” trope is absurd. Most are paid in cash, under the table, any amount of taxes taken out are minuscule. Just stop with your ridiculous excuses for importing more and more poverty.
DP


False. The majority work "on the books" and receive paychecks. In 2016 it was estimated that in Virginia undocumented workers paid between $200M and $304M in sales, excise, property, and income taxes. Estimated $13B same year in contributions to Social Security Trust Fund. Maybe your landscape worker is paid under the table but many work in places like meat and food processing and are on payroll. And they can get a tax ID number for withholding purposes. In 2019, according to the IRS, more than 2.5 million tax returns were filed using ITINs, accounting for nearly $6 billion in taxes.

Of course, Trump has always courted the low information voters. A published study in 2021, "Cognitive Sophistication, Religion, and the Trump Vote" (you can actually download free from Wiley" included a 10 point vocabulary test. 73% of the people who didn't get a single test question right were Trump voters. Each question answered correctly correlated to a 14% DROP in the likelihood of voting for Trump.

Has it never occurred to you to wonder why Trump said "I love the poorly educated"? They will believe anything apparently.



So, what were your SAT vocab scores?




So let's do some simple math. You claim they paid $6B using ITNs.

DHS estimates there are about 11-12 million undocumented people living here. Let's be VERY generous and assume half of those are are kids.

So that leaves 6 million undocumented people paying $6B in so called taxes.

Big whoop, that equals only a $1000 paid by every undocumented individual here illegally who is working and supposedly paying tax.


They are clearly not paying their fair share of income tax,.which is the primary bulk of taxation for any legal citizen
. Consumptive taxes mean jack squat.


I pay sales taxes too when I go travel on holiday in Europe or when I got study abroad for a year. Does that entitle me access to all of their social benefits, their schools, and healthcare just because I pay some VAT? Lol, hell no, because I'm not a citizen and I don't pay fill income taxes.


Lol, I love this crappy argument Dems always use. If you actually calculated the numbers, it clearly shows undocumented don't pay anywhere near their fair share of income tax. The rest of the taxes are superfluous, because people who travel here on vacation also pay those sales taxes, yet we wouldn't allow them to enroll their kids in our schools.

So, what was your SAT math score?

Probably below 450 I'm guessing.



LOL, now do the billionaires.


You notice the pattern?

--Crickets when a Kushner (whose own HS was shocked) or Dubya or Trump get into prestigious schools, but scream about the low income black kid who got in w/ a 3.8 GPA.

--Crickets when it comes to the millions in PPP loans forgiven for REPUBLICANS, but scream about the kid who got his student loan forgiven.

--Crickets about the economy going to sh*t with Trump's tax cuts for the super wealthy, but scream about any relief Dems were giving to avg Americans incl. child tax credit.

If Trump wins, I guarantee seniors will go back to paying more for insulin and other meds, so ghouls like Manchin's daughter can make more in bonuses.
