Perhaps, IME, the clearest explanation of the DEMS predicament now with Uncle Joe...
“The chaos surrounding the current events are actually hard to watch. Those who care about the president should spare him any more embarrassment and humiliation. He needs to step down, however, the president still believes in himself, does not see the situation as it really is, and refuses to go. Nonetheless, all this chaos benefits the Republicans.”-DW

@Opusworks The GQPs credo is "Don't trust your lyin' eyes"
@elbutterfield It's the billionaire donors like the Disney heir who is blackmailing the Dem Party to change it up. Far as I have seen, most Dems are still 100% Biden/Harris, but the media doesn't get ratings and subscriptions by agreeing with the masses...
@SaltyVeruca @Superstitionsee Excellent!
I'll respectfully ask everyone to think about how they're already a minority in this country and, if you don't think you are, how quickly you will become one under #project2025. Because you will. So maybe focus on realizing it, sitting with that fear, then realize how people you love could be jeopardized. Really feel it. Then take action beyond posting on social media and being spoon-fed opinions through the "news." You cannot control the candidate. Let it go. Act to preserve democracy.
@SaltyVeruca @dauphin87 There is still room in your argument to agree with "not always," with your opening, "largely, I think so." We do agree on points, but I also believe "we" do not have to be tethered as much we are to these various agencies. I've been amused by a graffiti I saw on a Storrow Drive overpass many years ago: "The urge to buy will consume you." The collective "we" has power, if "we" use it.

@SaltyVeruca @dauphin87 Not always.
More and more, the '24 Presidential election is becoming a critical focal point for the US and the World. https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-10-2024

@JerichoTaskerDeaux That's gotta be Jeff Beck's thumb...
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced legislation to impeach SC Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Ocasio-Cortez said the two justices should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors related to refusals to recuse themselves in some instances and for failing to disclose gifts from conservative donors.

Buried on page 14 of a senate letter to A.G. Merrick Garland that Clarence Thomas neglected to mention yet another free trip on a yacht to Saint Petersburg, where Vladimir Putin was born and a helicopter ride to the Yusupov Palace.

@Kittiekatt53 It's a tried and true tactic that worked in '16 when the GOP screamed that HRC was mentally and physically ill. Last I checked, she is very much alive and well. No one has yet apologized for being so wrong. I won't be holding my breath.
For 4 years #Biden has been leading America progressively forward out of the dump TFG left it in and suddenly this year, the #GOPigs are proclaiming that #Biden is mentally incapacitated, too physically feeble and not worthy of being #President.....again.
