Their internal polling must be ugly AF to necessitate this.

I’m visiting with the fam for the 4th. My grandparents keep CNN on 24/7.

CNN has been running “Biden should step down” as their main lead, all week. Every show has at least one segment on it.

They’re saying stuff like “70% of democrat voters think he is not fit” or something like that (dunno what their polling data and methodology are though.)

I expect that these 24/7 news networks can apply a lot of pressure to drive a story like this.

Edit: I may have misquoted those polls. Which I think shows how bad CNN’s reporting is. They just said something very different came out of a Reuter’s poll.

The Last President

I feel like this needs an asterix. The last president* who began his presidency as a president, had the powers of a dictator, but refused to use those powers because of morals.

While he could have used those powers to aggressively reshape the nation back to the original framework envisioned by the founding fathers, instead he followed tradition and what was expected. As such, the next “leader” of the United States embraced these powers, led a bloody siege to his opponents, and thus began the beginning to the end of what was once called the United States of America. Father Trump, as he demanded to be called, partnered with Russia and North Korea, in effect beginning WWIII. The American people were “shocked”

Edit: weird that Android phones auto correct WWIII to WWII? Or is that just my phone for some reason? It doesn’t matter. We’re fucked

Gotta be honest, I’m normally sleepy at that time as well. Late is late.

There are claims that Biden only functions between 10am-4pm.

And to demonstrate his newly granted powers, he should have Stephanopoulos sent to gitmo.

Can we get Sean Hannity in there too? It’s been 15 years, 2 months, and 10 days since he promised to be waterboarded for charity.

It’s a good move to be public like this, but if it’s another train wreck, it’s time for an intervention. I’m sure everyone involved gets that.

Time for an intervention was Friday fucking morning. Better late than never, though. I’m honestly hoping that both candidates fuck off and die before the election. FWIW, I am voting D no matter what.

That live speech he gave in the North Carolina rally on the next day after the debate wasn’t a train wreck.
