If I've seen one, I've seen 15 mutha fuckin cartoons besmirching Biden's mental fitness...
WTF Garland and your hitmen...Just give the DARK SIDE ammo, why don't you...
This is just one example of what we're going to see much more of in the next 9 months.
“Former President Barack Obama purportedly said, ‘Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up.’ Enough said.” -DW
@Madken65 The worst thing that could happen is that he could win and then die. I happen to think Kamala Harris is competent to carry on.
Regretfully, this issue will not subside as the Repubs have seen red meat.
The Dems need to seriously look at their ticket, IMO.
And I'm a former Delawarean, and I love Uncle Joe.
But if we are going to catch the torch, we need to pass it along.
@Cosmichomicide @Madken65 @Lindy Because she can't win, she's not well liked.
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
Yeah. Remarkable that. No "likeable" women in politics.
Amy wasn't likeable
Liz wasn't likeable
Hillary wasn't likeable.
Kamala isn't likeable
Should they smile more?
@Cosmichomicide @MidnightRider @Lindy
It IS about a Woman
and it IS about a Black Woman
Again, I don't like it, but we need to face reality.
This election is going to tug significantly at us all.
@Madken65 @MidnightRider
@Lindy
So, the *best* solution is to drop a successful incumbent with a GenX VP and replace them with "generic white guy the polls think will win, probably someone tall but very white and not from CA or NY"? C'mon.
So what do you suggest? Joe resigns and Kamala runs? Joe and Kamala resign and who runs?
BTW, has anyone asked Tang which family member takes over when the hamberders finally do him in?
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
Yep. It's definitely personal.
Smile more. Talk less. Be likeable.
If you do that, however, you don't "want it" enough.
Wait though - do something and you are "pushy", "aggressive", and "shrill".
Yes, I had a performance review where I was described as ambitious and aggressive in pursuit of goals.
As a weakness.
I asked for a raise and suggested they edit the review before it reached HR.
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
PS. "Likeable" is right up there with "articulate" in the bigot code book.
@Cosmichomicide @Madken65 @Lindy I meant personal with me, I hold no animus for women. I would be fine with one as President, I used to have one as an internist. I like solid human beings of worth, what flag they own, whether they wear a dress, what color they are, where their parents are from doesn't matter to me, only quality.
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
Understood - but watching people talking like a black woman can't get elected because they aren't "likeable" is playing into the BS. Call them on it. Look right at them and say "You mean she's a black woman."
Don't let them stick to "There's just something about her..." slap them in the face, again and again with what they really mean and who they really are.
@Cosmichomicide @Madken65 @Lindy That shit will still be happening after I'm dead. I enact my best self-made metrics to be a good citizen. I picked up three gallons of trash last week on the trail, most of it has been replaced. These issues are like weeds, they will be in my lawn far after I am off of it.
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
Yeah, but here's how that conversation goes:
She's not likeable.
Oh, you mean she's a black woman.
No, there's just something about her, can't put my finger on it.
You mean she's a black woman and you don't like that.
No, no. I just don't get a good feeling about her as a person.
OK, so you don't like black women.
No, not all black women, just HER.
Then you ask about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
You know, for fun.
@MidnightRider @Madken65 @Lindy
If that sounds practiced, remove "black" from the sentences and insert Hillary, Liz, Katie, Amy... I ran out of fucks years ago.
You'll get the same answers. Though they might throw in "shrill" or 'looks angry".
BTW, if they are a sharp dresser, they "waste time and money", if they aren't, they are "frumpy".
You cannot let these folks continue to think they are good people with valid "reasons" when they aren't and they don't.
@Cosmichomicide @Madken65 @Lindy Seems kind of personal this morning, what do I suggest? It doesn't matter what I suggest. I suggest we disable cellphones held in the driver's seat. I suggest we rein in EVERY insurance company ripping us off for ever more profits, denying claims of the ill. I suggest the ADA get off their fat asses and so some work. I suggest the airlines also get a foot in the ass. Guess how I'm coming along with those suggestions? 😂
