JEFF TIEDRICH - this is getting fucking ridiculous. for the future of our democracy, this game of gotcha has got to end

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

all week long, the bed-wetters and the hand-wringers have been demanding that Joe Biden needs to prove to us that he’s not a drooling mess. he’s got to make a public appearance — on July 4th! — and he’s got to nail it.

well guess fucking what, boys and girls.

oh look at that. strong, clear voiced — and no weird hallucinations about planes falling out of the sky or fictional serial killers who invite friends over for dinner.

did this change The Narrative that Joe Biden is frail and decrepit? ha fucking ha — of course it didn’t.

2. Some are taking advantage of the debate but not everyone is disingenuous.

It's not new but more urgent now.

But for months, Obama has shared with Biden and friends his deep concerns about Trump’s political strengths and the real possibility he is elected again in November. In December, during a private lunch at the White House, Obama discussed the need for Biden to empower his campaign apparatus, suggesting he install a more senior-level decision-maker at the Wilmington headquarters. The next month, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Mike Donilon left the White House to serve as campaign chair and chief strategist, respectively.

4. Nothing will please pundits or dem operatives who apparently

Have had a change of mind for President Biden.
I just don’t know if anyone can “perform” to their liking. Mean while republicans are sitting back licking their lips and trump sits in his castle staying mostly quiet.

5. All the while guess who is on the Epstein BFF list?

The NYT and WaPo are more interested in Biden's horse voice at a debate then Trump raping 2 12 year old girls.

The corporate media, bowing to their masters orders.

6. Prefers to Remain Anonymous and Unnamed Source...

Some are saying.

7. Just Got an Email From The Nation ...

... Blaming Biden for "creating a distraction."

I scanned the Jeet Heer piece and choked on the lack of self-awareness. Between that and the absolutely b*****t Atlantic piece from Anne Applebaum ("Time To Roll The Dice" -- which I not entirely convinced isn't satire, it's that nuts)...

My only consolation is seeing what feels like a growing frustration with the media among brick-and-mortar friends.

8. That's why corporate media calls it "creating a narrative."

11. This is a distraction from the Epstein files

A hysterical distraction. That's all it is.

12. C'mon Joe -- bodyslam the fuck outta Golfcart von Clownstick

Then piledrive his fat head into the concrete and let him get crushed by the weight of his own bloated ego

[Elessar Zappa]

13. No piledriver.

Because then Trump’s diarrhea-filled diaper will be right in Joe’s face for a moment. Yuck!

[Blue Owl]

14. Bwah!

Good point....
