Golly, Biden is off his game here. He can't string two thoughts together. Not joking, man, this is troubling.

All politics aside, theories of Biden getting dumped for Harris, scandals etc. This is embarrassing and unacceptable for a presidential candidate. He can’t put together thoughts, he can’t even read from notes or a teleprompter correctly half the time... that’s not who should be representing this country as it’s leader.

On a similar note, the U.S. has a population of ~328M. With any population that size, it's not difficult to find anecdotal examples of just about anything a person wants.
The problem is we're at a point where everything is caught on video and broadcast near real-time, if not actual real-time, to a worldwide audience. Those anecdotal examples have now become accepted as the "truth" to support or shape many broad, and often inaccurate or plainly false, characterizations.

This isn't an attack on the point you've made or even in support of Biden nor is it an attack on Trump. But we're in a post-statesman world, gone are the days of the "ideal" politician (Think your the Bush family, Reagan, Obama, etc).
People don't care anymore what is presentable, only whether it's their tribe or not.

Totally agree.

I think you are largely right, but only partially. We see these things through the microscope of our time-limited vantage: the here and now, under our noses (we see this in "best/worst president ever" polls). In our lifetime this started to change with Bush Junior and the 2000 election, and has only become worse. But historically, if you read docs and books about the early presidents, a lot of people hated John Adams. A lot of European leaders did not see him as a statesman but as a buffoons. Ironically, he was increasingly someone who protected his tribe. He started out against party politics but he and Jefferson really created what we're seeing today.

The difference is today we have a constant barrage of information telling us this or that. There is no escape.
20 years ago, it was there but not as prevalent. 40 years ago, there was network news and daily news publications only. Word travelled slower and wasn't at every turn. Things had time to simmer or be worked out.
To me, it's a lot like the advice to not respond to email when you're too emotionally connected. Let it sit overnight, collect yourself, then respond the following day. We don't have that buffer anymore. Knee jerk reaction is the norm now.

This is an interesting article. I’ll have to return to it later when I’ve got more time to sit and fully digest it.

Please do. I'm interested to hear what you have to say on this topic.
And then there's this. I'm curious if he feels Trump is going to lose and felt safe to come out of hiding.

What trashy asshole. And he just provides credence to folks opinions of a "deep state".
Normally I'd say the No Christmas/4th of July statements were the "attack on Christmas/patriotism" you usually see used, but weddings and graduations is a touch more hyperbolic than normal.
Why stop there though?
- No more burgers at fast food restaurants
- Valentine's Day can only be celebrated by LGBTQ
- Black coffee will be illegal, only Starbucks lattes
- Harris will personally steal money from your paycheck after you cash/deposit it

If we're going by God Emperor Newsom's restrictions on Thanksgiving...what the POTUS is saying is not far from the truth in California or New York.
Well that’s fucking lame!

I'm glad you threw this up here.
Maybe he's been made, is afraid of the blowback, and is now trying to put himself in the public spotlight to garner sympathy.
@lindy did mention that the Deep State is a bunch of unscrupulous bureaucrats who wield an extraordinary amount of power and influence. Between the coup on POTUS, Biden documents, and all these other information drops, I think it's safe to say the Deep State is real.
I wasn't voting this year, but I'll be damned if I can't enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas or the 4th. TRUMP 2040.
