This is unhinged and genuinely as dark as it is funny. He's not really any more cogent - just able to read off of a teleprompter, be heavily edited, and so jacked up and aggressive he looks like he might be about to have an aneurysm. And he still wanders off to the bride of thr stage as if to shake hands with someone not there or not sure how to get off it. It's the same dementia, just louder, faster.
This picture doesn't seem right... isn't the President and the bike usually on its side or upside down?
And might have white suburbanites in them.
Newsom has been setting this up for a while. I was talking about it in the news thread. Whether other dem factions will go for it though is anyone's guess. Supposedly there's a pretty broad faction in the House that wants Gretchen Whitmer.
I'm not sure they can but only because the president is head of the party right? If he agrees to stand down though then they can do whatever the fuck they like, voters and selfies be dammned.
Sadder; that was a pre-planned line that had been rehearsed at Camp David to be a Kamala 'I Was That Little Girl's moment.
Yes. It was a pre-rehearsed line that he almost fumbled and then they started blasting on social media right away.
This was supposed to be his 'I was that little girl' moment. But it's shit, a phrase that makes him sound like he's stuck in the 1920s, and lots of people like alleycats.
Underrated comment.
Some of the online ones tried to do the Biden ones but the numbers ended up being anywhere between 10-25 depending on whether you counted him changing, correcting, or uncorrecting statistics again later and how generous they were in just going 'that was less a lie and more just nonsense'.
Yup, that's it. Add a haunted, vacant stare into the distance and you've got them all.
I was expecting some sort of 'emergency' Chapo episode but it seems that Felix was taking a break from gaming and shopping for fighter jets to spend the night hanging in a Waffle House. Clearly he wasn't too impressed with Joe's performance, so I guess that's a sneak preview of the next episode.
The constantly running splitscreen too. Biden was zoning out, looking around as though remembering where he was a few times, peering for signals from his team off camera, seemed constantly confused about which camera was filming him etc. He either didn't he was on camera all the time, or simply couldn't keep that idea in his head and not fade out while he wasn't the one talking.
Biden campaign HQ hype campaign after the debate:
Biden comes out seemingly completely unaware of where he is, while his wife talks to him like a dog.
Jill Biden: "Joe, you did such a good job! You answered every question! You knew all the facts!"
(He absolutely did not, of course)
Doesn't let him respond, just let's him grin mindlessly, while she tries to whip up thr base about the fact that Trump lied.
Biden's face goes back to confusion when the crowd stop cheering and shout "lie" about Trump as though he has no idea who or what they're talking about.

George Grosz was a fascinating and viceral painter, deeply scarred and influenced by his experience serving in the first world war, before he was discharged and left with psychiatric problems and a serious drinking problem. Many of his paintings from that period deal explictly with the horrors of war and the human cost juxtaposed against societal conflict.
His later work saw him fined by the German government and some of his collections ordered destroyed as they became more satrical and focused upon what he saw as the hypocracy of those that advocate for such violence - things like preachers vomiting grenades and Jesus being forced into conscription.
He also went to Russia in the 1920s, where he was initially detained as a spy, but released when proven not to be and even met Lenin. He lived in the US for most of his life after the '30s but eventually returned to Berlin, where he died falling down the stairs one night drunk.
During a layup question about Jan 6th, Biden focuses on the weird minutia of who was where when, but also briefly forgets whether he's talking about himself or Trump being innthe oval office at the time.
In the single biggest gimme of the night the moderators offered Biden a question that grilled Trump on repelling Roe v Wade and he muttered through it for a minute before inexplicably handing Trump his favourite subject by talking about some rape and murder committed by (on?) an illegal immigrant. Which naturally Trump ran with for his whole 'the Democrats are using immigrants to destroy America schtick'.
After it was over Biden didn't know where he was and was too frail to walk down three steps at the front of the stage and had to have Jill guide and partially carry him. It was still on camera.
