I'm guessing it's how he's getting shuffled out, hence they just came up with a pretext earlier https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/biden-health-election-drop-out.html

Bro already had like 1 HP, this is literally humiliation at this point lmao

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 4 months ago

We can only hope it's not one of those "won't kill you just take you 1hp" kind of debuffs.

He's not done his humiliation yet, I hope he keeps going... (unless he dies from it, that would be nice enough anyways). And afterwards, maybe it's time for Kamala... bonus points if they keep Kamala so as to retain the Biden funding, but go for a "girl power" team with Killary as VP...

None of this matters anyways, but the American and broader western decline doesn't deserve to be dignified. They have had every chance, every chance even now, of choosing peace and prosperity for not only themselves, but the entire world- they have had every chance to even enter the multipolar age and a more equitable system on still advantageous terms, too. And they have rejected it, time and time again- and they will likely continue to do so, because that's the nature of imperialism...

Here's hoping for an absolute dumpster fire of a clown show.

We already know Joe is a hyper-liberal scumbag… for all we know, she can be better. Literally he brags about being the biggest Zionist. Obviously the difference might be tiny, but it’s (slightly) better than nothing.

Edit: I’m still either voting Green or PSL regardless, but still.

Calling him a hyper-liberal is really complimentary. He's an open genocidal Zionist fascist.

[–] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 4 months ago

What's the old phrase? Scratch a liberal...

Mark my words, Biden will die before the second debate

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

First Trump dodges a bullet by a couple of centimeters and then the universe smites Biden with the plague? Can you imagine how insufferable evangelicals will become if that happens?

Assuming this is true, we almost got both to die in a week.

I wonder if they'd both be dead already if Biden had been shot and Trump got COVID again

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Assuming this is true

Yes, assuming this is not some stunt to try and make Biden look like he also survived a near death experience like Trump, which i wouldn't put past the DNC to think they have to do to even the playing field now.

Yeah as soon as I saw that headline I knew the fix was in and he was going to be given a way out. Well we might get some entertaining gibberish from epic high-as-balls stoner Kamala Harris.

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 4 months ago

Omg. Please.

[–] SugandeseDelegation@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Bummer, why didn't they wait until after the Debate sequel smh

[–] RedColossus@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 months ago

The second debate should just have both Biden and Trump die of old age on air.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

And just like that I don't mind having to wait for the new Trillbillies episode
