President Biden steps aside

[bmw]

Now you've lost it. Everybody knows what candidates playbook that is from.

Do I need to post links to every time (in recent days, mind you) Biden said that Trump poses an existential threat to democracy and that he (Biden) is the only person who can stop that?

[teetoppz28]

That last part is an appropriately third grade attitude. Most world leaders are above using it as a way to talk about them trying to get their base but thank god I’m here to save you. It’s tacky.

You can label what I'm about to say as whataboutism, but you and I know that this is a fact: If Joe Biden had been the one shot and hit in the ear and at least one bystander killed, Democrats and the media would have completely lost their shit, blaming Trump and his followers' rhetoric, and that would still be the conversation today. Biden would have been saying the same thing Trump is saying now, except he would have taken it a step further and blamed 70 million Americans, arguing that he's the only politician who can save America from Trump. Hell, he was basically arguing the latter right up until the day he stepped aside.

I know for a fact that the reaction would be 10x more over the top in that scenario compared to it happening to Trump. And everyone here would be lauding Biden a hero for surviving this alleged threat to democracy.

The thing is, no one believes that bullshit coming out of Biden's mouth. Unlike MAGAts, who honestly believe only tRump can sAvE aMeRiCa!

But he didn't, he said he took a bullet for his country and his cult swallowed it whole and passing it along as gospel.

Let's just say for the sake of argument that Trump was hit by something other than a bullet (which I have yet to see evidence that what I saw with my own two eyes isn't true so I stand by the presumption that he was hit by a bullet), the bottom line is that he was shot at and sustained an injury which was still caused by that bullet. That you're making a mountain out of a molehill on what is basically an immaterial distinction for the purpose of what Trump is stating, calling out people who believe he was hit by a bullet as being a "cult [that] swallowed it whole and pass[ed] it along as gospel," while remaining completely silent on the assassination attempt itself or all the kooky conspiracy theories surrounding it - that this is what you've latched onto is really......fascinating.

I can't answer for Lester, but I think it's a case of tRump attempting to make himself a martyr... "I took a bullet for our country!!" and "They are coming after me and now they are trying to come after you, but I stand in the way!" (paraphrasing here)

MAGAts really do eat that shit up and ask for seconds. The orange-faced deity they worship is the OnLy OnE wHo CaN sAvE aMeRiCa!!

Thanks. Yes that's very much a part of it. Frankly, while some people wish to focus on the notion that a crazy person took a shot at a someone, high profile or not, that alone doesn't make me blink too much. Happens everyday, often many times and honestly law enforcement in this country has their own little franchise in gunning people down for questionable reasons. People shoot people often for no good reason. Welcome to America folks.

Aside from his cult stating as fact something they have no more idea than anyone else what actually happened (exempting BMW's "own two eyes") the most vulgar, tasteless aspect is essentially shitting on service men and women who've lost arms, legs and any other parts or function of their bodies, if not outright killed, by somehow framing Trump's injury as some false equivalency. I'm not the one who dreamed this. Do anyone honestly believe this was all some capricious misunderstanding? Nope, it's cold and it's calculated and fucking disgusting.

It took a few days, but the conservative fray has finally put together some talking points so BMW can participate in our discussions.

Hey Lester -

Guess what?

It was a bullet.

FBI Confirmed.

As an aside, I wonder how long Honeyman will keep his signature line?

I'm glad there's confirmation rather than wallowing in speculation. That's all I was asking for.

This could have been cleared up days ago if Trump wasn’t so weird with his medical stuff.

[bmw]

But was there any serious doubt though? Just because the FBI couldn't confirm until now with 100 percent certainty, didn't mean there wasn't good reason to presume it was a bullet, based on all the publicly available evidence.

The doubt started when nobody gave any explanation of his injuries. That’s actually majorly stupid on his campaigns part. If they could prove it was a bullet and get doctors on the record saying it was one they could milk it that much more. Trump and his eccentricities are truly his own worst enemy. Instead his tendency to chronically lie and resistance to confirming it with the treating physicians led to the festering of doubts. He became the Trump who cried “Ive been shot”.

If you were being fair, you would have went with this one

"Biden will not win re-election. Screenshot this. Save it for posterity. Do whatever you want with it."

My only mistake was that I didn't think Democrats would be stupid enough to go with Harris. She's in the honeymoon phase right now (thus disproving RT's theory that the entire mainstream media is pimping Trump, trying to get him elected - that's simply not true and from what I see they're doing everything they can to get Harris elected), but IMO she's peaking too early.

Harris, at least in theory, has a higher ceiling than Trump. Problem is, she's already politically so far to the left that I don't think she is capable of coming back close enough to the center to win a general election. Also, for all the criticism that Trump speaks with word salads, Harris is even better at doing that than is Trump. She's not going to be able to escape scrutiny for her voting record or for her complete lack of knowledge on so many different subjects for the next 3 months.

You are aware the Trump campaign and GOP are both flailing around with absolutely no plan or idea on how to hit her right? They went from near flawless to amateur hour in a matter of a week.

As for a complete lack of knowledge… it’s worked for Trump for 8 years already… now you’re saying it matters? For the record I don’t think she has a complete lack of knowledge at this point.

I also don’t think she’s peaking. It’s more likely you’re looking at the favorite to win in November. People are tired of Trump and tired of old folks. He’s the old folk in the race now. They’ll be hanging that around his neck.

For the record, I am - at the moment anyways - disappointed in the Trump campaign's lack of focus. If I were the one advising, I would say focus on her voting record as a Senator, her walking in lock-step with Biden's policies as VP, and in particular, I would go hard after her about our southern border problem. She was assigned a prominent role by Biden in dealing with the border crisis, and well, we see how well that worked out. If you remember, Kamala avoided visiting the border for some time, even leading up to the now-infamous interview with Lester Holt where she said "well, I haven't been to Europe, either."

You realize that visiting the border is just a photo-op right? Additionally the individual policies put forward by Democrats usually poll well… it’s the fear tactics of Republicans that hurt them.

If she’s such a weak candidate why is Mr. “Any time any place” terrified of her?

They should be focused on getting him out of the race and getting a non-criminal at the top of the ticket.
