Please recommend an unbiased news source. I’ll wait. Or, you can tell me which major network or daily called out Biden’s decline pre debate meltdown. You’re kidding right? Do you not recall the days leading up to the State of the Union where news outlets everywhere were speculating that the SotU could be Biden’s chance to dispel notions of his decline or reinforce them? That was in March. Oh, that’s right. You only consume Murdoch political news. In terms of “unbiased news”, I have no recommendation. My only recommendation was that you get out of the Murdoch-sphere for a second and maybe read some other insights. There is a reason why people on here think you only watch Fox News, and it’s clear that it’s because of a Murdoch heavy diet. I mean, calling what happened to Biden a coup reeks of Fox News stupidity. So the duly voted for nominee of a party is strong armed out of the race by his “friends” in party leadership. What would you call it ? Now, he should have been gone long before but that is the other part of this story. As for SOTU, he read a pedestrian speech off a prompter and the Amen chorus of the DNC declared nothing to see here.

Now, how was Biden “strong-armed”? If you say you don’t like Trump, and plenty in your party (enough to lose elections fairly) feel the same way, then why isn’t he “strong-armed” out?

The overwhelming majority of Democrats were unhappy with the Biden ticket, and the primaries didn’t even offer a real opportunity to put someone else in there. To act as if it was only the Democratic leadership that wanted him out is fundamentally wrong. The surge in enthusiasm after Harris became the nominee is a testament to that. As far as the SOTU, you have now moved the goal posts. You asked when before the debate were people in the media asking questions about his fitness. I gave you an example. Your opinion as to what the DNC did afterward is largely irrelevant to the discussion.

I wish he were.

This lambasting of the DNC and its “amen chorus” is mind numbingly tedious when the RNC is run by a complete moron who only got the job because she is a Trump. The RNC is running interference for a lying, felonious, rapist, fraudulent, conman. Anything the DNC does looks positively aboveboard and well-intentioned compared to the RNC. There is no comparison. Edit: Somehow I forgot to mention insurrectionist.

Your double standards are flooring. Keep lapping up the brain dead gruel that Murdoch offers up and regurgitating here. That’s worked well for you.

[ Keep telling yourself the media are honest brokers. You can’t actually believe it but your zeal is laudable. What are you talking about!?! I’ve said I couldn’t offer you an unbiased source because there aren’t any. You ignore things that I say and then make up what you want me to have said. You are the undisputed king of straw men. There are entire aspects of posts you completely ignore because your position is indefensible, and then you glom onto something else entirely. Your targeting of the DNC and left wing media is absolutely laughable when you fully gorge yourself on right wing media that rarely if ever criticize lord and savior Trump and an RNC that is as corrupt and immoral as any the country has seen. It’s impossible to take you seriously. Now I’m really done with this, I just couldn’t let you try to put words in my mouth again.

Incompetent performative "charity." He's just another empty Yale-educated suit. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Republican vice presidential nominee U.S. Sen. JD Vance is preparing to dissolve the vestiges of a charitable effort he launched in Ohio after publication of his best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” the Trump-Vance campaign said. Vance formed two like-named nonprofits starting in 2016 to address problems in Ohio and other “Rust Belt” states. They were primarily supposed to focus on boosting job opportunities, improving mental health treatment and combating the opioid crisis. The original organization folded within five years and Vance put the other on hold when he ran successfully for the Senate in 2022. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/vp-nominee-jd-vance-dissolve-vestige-mothballed-charity-112875523

Former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock says she’ll vote for Kamala Harris Former Republican congresswoman Barbara Comstock endorsed Kamala Harris’s presidential bid on Sunday, joining another former Virginia representative in crossing party lines while the state’s GOP establishment remains firmly in Donald Trump’s camp. “After Jan. 6, after Donald Trump has refused for four years to acknowledge that he lost, and his threats against democracy, I think it’s important to turn the page,” Comstock said during a CNN interview Sunday. “That’s why I will be voting for the vice president.” This marks at least the second Republican from Virginia to break from the former GOP president in favor of Harris. Earlier this month, former congressman Denver Riggleman, who ran twice with Donald Trump’s backing but broke with him over the Jan. 6 insurrection, said he supported Harris for president. Like Comstock, he pointed to the violence on Jan. 6, 2021 and concern for the country’s democracy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/18/barbara-comstock-vote-kamala-harris/
