@LlamaMountainStudioArts There are 7 House members and Mark Warner did try to have that meeting but was outed by leaks. This is more on Corporate Dems
There seems to be an uptick for Biden to step aside. That includes Clooney and just now Peter Welch. Clooney is more about protecting his partner, Amal, about Gaza. Welch and others are likely getting paid to say about Biden leaving because he’s cutting corporations profits and why the donor money is not what it is in the 1st 2 quarters. If you want a brokered convention, here’s their chance, but this seems to be a huge backfire if they pull this off.
There’s a lot of talk of media pounding us on Biden should leave. Now late night hosts are getting into the act. Jon Stewartand John Oliver has a history of this, but now Colbert, Meyers are joining in. Taken a step back, they’re done with Biden because they can make jokes all day
It’s the next person in for President these late night hosts are worried about because they have to thread a needle of joking about her performance without sounding racist and/or derogatory. Good luck.
A lot of people are getting caught up with the “Biden is done” hype, but they need to get off. The reason they’re complaining is:
1) Biden is old and worried about the succession plan. Remember, you’re voting for an administration, not just one person, which leads to the main issue.
2) Press and some party officials don’t want Kamala as President. It’s obvious why and it’s a damn shame. Time for the Democrats to back the whole administration.
@Bliss he was making a joke Biden made a decision today and signing the bill, not an interview or press conference on the debate. He’s been acting like this after the debates and this one was the trigger
Apparently there’s data of the quality of questions from the Washington media and well, it’s expected, but look at the numbers after Obama left office. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/analyses/bidens-solo-news-conferences-perspective
I’m not watching the debates, but I can summarize this easily from what I read:
-Biden has a hoarse voice and apparently there are demands to change.
-Trump lies and will continue to lie
-CNN don’t want to use the mute button
-People are going to get dumber after this
-You have to think pro wrestling psychology for these debates.
This is a great article about the Washington Post issues https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/06/washington-post-jeff-bezos-william-lewis/678799/
Overview: while Bezos has stayed away and let people do their jobs, he wasn’t present when the company needed him the most. Also, he doesn’t have a board to help oversee the company. It feels like he wanted to be the savior of the Washington Post. It worked the first few years, but it has waned and now it’s in worst shape since Bezos took over.
All this Caitlin Clark stuff from this weekend should be warranted with the hype, the rivalry of Chicago, Angel vs. CC. We’re now talking about a cheap shot, that was flagrant, but apparently it lights up male sports talk shows saying they shouldn’t do this to Caitlin. Hello, the WNBA has been this way through its existence. It’s great to come aboard, but observe and watch before making an opinion.
@sfleetucker I got off a couple years ago and don’t miss it but sadly WaPo will be going down like the others. I do not want a WSJ copycat
The Wall Street Journalization has begun at The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/06/02/sally-buzbee-washington-post-steps-down/
I know these corporations owning these media companies want to something exciting because it makes money. My problem is for some, they think the President is boring and need to change things up although this administration has passed a lot of bills for a split Congress. Do they realize not everything has to be exciting? I think more, we’re a visual society that we want to see it but do not read what’s inside.
I previously mention people are sticking to their own echo chamber, but now I’m seeing my friends picking sides on Israel-Palestine when in reality, the bad guys are the leaders heading up both sides (Hamas, Bibi). Both sides are now angry at Biden of not helping their side. I mean, I’m throwing my hands up 🤷🏻♂️
