    I’d get behind RFK Jr. 
    I’d far prefer him than any other names thrown around.

    But I doubt the dems would take him back.

    Harris/Obama would be insane.

    THE COVID VACCINE IS MEANT TO KEEP YOU FROM DYING FROM COVID. Got it? This is *especially* important if you are over age 65, a smoker, diabetic, obese, have kidney disease, are immunocompromised, or are otherwise at high risk of dying from complications of Covid. By the way, a sh!t ton of Americans fall into at least one of those categories.

    Lol, holy shit. Are you actually up to date on RFK Jr news? I’m guessing no. Either that or you’re a crazy anti-vaxx nutjob.

    What a pathetic loser Joe Biden! Next comes the 25th amendment. If you’re unfit to run for President how can you continue to serve? 

    How can it not be Harris now? The party of diversity? The party of cancel culture? It could be the most racist move ever bypassing her. But it’s the Democrats so I guess it will be George Clooney deciding.

    Dropping out of the election doesn’t necessarily mean he has to be removed from office with 6 months left. Winning the election means you’ve got a job for 4 more years. Not sure why the MAGA nuts can’t comprehend this. Also, what good does that do you to have Kamala as POTUS the next 6 months? Or maybe you think it’s a possibility a Republican can take over now? It’s a waste of energy that doesn’t really help you any.

    Good words today from Dan Rather:

    Americans, every one of us, are about to be tested as never before. We have always been known for our ability to rise above challenges. This will be one for the ages. I have hope and faith that we are up to it. We had better be. Democracy as we have known it depends on us.

    First and foremost, we all need to take a deep breath and understand what is ahead of us. Although Biden’s decision has been in the works for weeks, it is still shocking, so please support each other as we all grapple with what this means. With President Biden bowing out, the next 107 days will be unlike any presidential campaign in American history. If you can, I recommend getting involved real quick, or at least paying very close attention to the news and this space. And talk to all of your friends and family. 

    God love Joe Biden. He saved this country four years ago, and he is trying to do so again today. Biden’s legacy is now secure, from his legislative accomplishments to making the hardest political decision of his life. 

    There are two paths forward. To avoid chaos at the convention in Chicago, Democrats would need to get behind Vice President Kamala Harris. The other option is to hold an open convention, allowing delegates to choose among anyone who throws their hat in the ring. Be prepared. This will not be a smooth process. Real democracy is never easy.  

    For all who have been clamoring for a jolt of energy into presidential politics, here you go. Americans who have been asking for a different choice will now have it. 

    The hope of many Americans of varying political persuasions is that whichever way the convention goes, the new Democratic nominee will quickly unify the party, bring back anyone who has been disenchanted by the campaign so far, and appeal to those who have yet to decide. 

    We must not lose sight of the end game: to defeat the new autocrats and their leader, a convicted felon and an insurrectionist, who is fundamentally dangerous for the country.



    "It's a sad and beautiful world"
    -Roberto Benigni

    She’s been part of the cover up of Slow Joe. Let’s let Kamala take over and see how she does. Maybe a 5 month audition wins us all over.

    West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is considering re-registering as a Democrat so he can run for president.

    Fox News confirmed Manchin, who in May left the Democratic Party and registered as an Independent, said Sunday he is considering re-registering with his original party and running for president.

    Manchin said he was considering the party switch and throwing his hat in the ring for President, "Even just to have the discussion of bringing the party back to center," Fox News' Bret Baier posted on X.

    Fox News' Aishah Hasnie contributed to this report.

    I haven’t followed him too closely since he wasn’t really in the running. I’ve  liked some of his talking points, but didn’t know he was anti-vax.

    WHAT?! His biggest calling card is being anti-vaxx. He’s good buddies with the Jets QB. And that was before the recent developments.
