Waiting for all the Maga folks to fall over each other in their rush to wish Biden well…
Just had dinner with in-laws who were laughing and hoping he dies.
They can wish that I guess, but a state funeral "trumps" a failed assassination like 9 times out of 10. Kicking it in office of natural causes is some FDR shit.
I bet they would've been furious if you made a joke about Trumps mosquito bite
Yup. I saw a magabrain shortly after the shooting, and he was deathly serious like he just heard about the death of a relative: "did you hear about the shooting?"
Meanwhile, this same guy thought the hammering of Pelosi's husband was HILARIOUS.
You should hold your breath, it probably won't be too long.
Man I should get a booster
At this point you’re probably better off waiting for the newly approved ones to be rolled out in August or September. Your doctor or pharmacist could tell you for sure.
I keep forgetting to get one. I work with a bunch of idiots so it really is vital.
New variant came on quick for me. One day I wasn't even sure if I was sick, next day couldn't record a temperature lower than 102 so I tested.
Can't even get them around me every hospital is completely out. They're telling me you can't even get an appointment until October November
In b4 both candidates are dead before the election
🤞
I don't wish either to die, but this really does seem like one of the better potential outcomes.
Biden, as an official act, declares it illegal for felons to be president. Biden then drops out of the next election.
Turning America off and back on again.
That may actually be the case, at this point I'm thinking about it in terms of Harris Vs. Vance
A black woman vs. a guy who openly admits to being a racist who hates Mexicans in his own fucking campaign ad - https://vxtwitter.com/JDVance1/status/1511311385543815180
I think my favorite part is this sob story about how his mother nearly died on the "poison Mexicans are bringing into this country!"
If you do a fact check, his mother was a nurse who raided the controlled substances locker to get high.
Man I thought they were already dead, one being paraded around as a string puppet, and the other with the innards replaced with a chuck e cheeze type animatronic with chatgpt or something controlling it.
I wish Him well, but man he need to be home with his family resting, like for the rest of his life.
I think the fact that he's the incumbent is a bigger advantage than anyone aside from him can muster, but if he steps down as soon as the election is over that'd be good.
A bait and switch like that would clobber any trust the Democratic party has built up and cost them for at least a decade
I think that's a fair expectation, but I don't think they had much trust to begin with.
A lot less of an advantage when polling this badly in approval.
There's never been a president with this approval that won reelection.
Wow. Is it possible he may really be giving us an out?
Fingers crossed.
Get well soon, Mr. President
Biden just said it would take a medical emergency to get him to drop. If this isn't a sign from that he needs to get out of the race, I don't know what is.
Incoming 'health concern'? 🤔
And then...
Biden Says He’d Consider Dropping Out if a ‘Medical Condition’ Emerged
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/biden-health-election-drop-out.html
Wow, did the stars align? Next you're gonna tell me a charismatic potential candidate has been waiting in the shadows.
BAH GAWD THAT'S BERNIE'S MUSIC!!!
I fucking love Bernie, I donated, canvassed, made calls, drove hundreds of miles to go to rallies, have Bernie sticker on my vehicles in a violently republican town, but Bernies window has closed. He is too old now and he would say that himself.
I wouldn't argue too hard because he still seems to have his witts about him, and even a half sentient Bernie is exactly what this corrupt country needs, But this age trend needs to go the other way.
How about AOC....
AOC, but how do we court the mythical moderate republican that's just waiting in the wings to elect a neo-lib once the opportunity arrives?
Edit: this is probably the reason the neolibs won't give up power. They are afraid to admit no one, and I mean no one, actually wants them around. Once they let the party change hands everyone will see the absolute juggernaut they are holding back.
The Lord Almighty has entered the chat
I hope he's not planning to one-up Trump's "brush with death" and steal back sympathy by actually dying.
That might work...have him try it.
It's okay, Maga says Covid isn't really a problem.
I'm watching NBC News live right now and they asked people on the floor of the RNC for their reaction about Biden having COVID. They all said they are praying for him and hope for a speedy recovery. I was waiting for just one "COVID ain't real! Fauci is a liar!" crazy person but there were none. Damn.
They know the media is on them and they have to behave and say “politically correct” things.
Make no mistake, the RNC and DNC are carefully managed events. RNC tries to show as racially diverse a crowd as possible for the cameras and DNC tries to be a welcoming big tent, both to encourage undecided voters to come join the bandwagon.
and DNC tries to be a welcoming big tent,
As long as you agree 100% with the DNC...
They have a poor record with people protesting how rightwing the DNC has been moving for decades...
I hope for a swift recovery.
Theory time:
Comes back and claims brain fog issues or neurological damage. He will use that to bow out gracefully.

They had people out here supporting a mask ban and acting COVID doesn't exist because Corporate America said so.
Mans is getting ready to fuck off into the sunset.
No he's not...the D's will run his fucking corpse at this point rather than picking a viable candidate.
At least his corpse can't fuck up softball questions.
Looks like all the people who said they would gladly vote for a rotting corpse in November are going to get the chance to put their money where their mouth is!
