Which quarters? Honest question. Do you think there are people who aren't going to vote for him because of his age? People who were going to vote for him before the debate who've changed their mind? If so, I'd like to know who they are and their voting history. The truth is that the press is going after Biden because Trump has no real path to victory. (And before someone says, "People said that in 2016," the truth is this isn't 2016. It's not even 2020.) I haven't seen anyone explain how Trump wins. He hasn't increased his base. He's driven away anyone who isn't in the cult. He's bankrupted the party so there's no money for downballot races. Notice how Trump has completely disappeared? I mean the press is attacking Biden nonstop yet somehow Hamhock's not out here doing rallies talking about how he crushed Biden in the debate. For years the press has been obsessed with covering his every thought and utterance yet since the debate you would've even know he's still running. This op has already failed.

This. This whole op - and I do believe it's a foreign op - has failed miserably. None of this mess has hurt Biden. It's just pissed off older voters. (I define older as 50+). Nothing about this wins independents and moderates.

I think this will backfire on the GOP. There's nothing about this that's going to win them support from independents and moderates. The Repubs have given up on even pretending to appeal to voters. They've gone all-in on fascism and Christian nationalism.

I think we're going to discover that abortion and IVF were the real third rail.

I'm stunned at the level of media malpractice that has led these people in the press to simply decide people over 50 don't vote. Older people are seeing these attacks on Biden and it's like watching their kids plot to put them in a nursing home so they can sell the house. Biden just pardoned thousands of people who were kicked out of the military for being gay. I'm not a member of the Queer community so forgive me if I'm overstepping but younger generations don't seem to grasp how different things were back then. Just like young women didn't realize how much they needed to protect Roe. I believe that in November older voters will bring the hammer down and the attacks on Biden are only adding fuel to that fire.

No. Not at all. Actually what I'm seeing now reminds me of people who tried to get him to step aside based on a fake rape accusation.

I deactivated my FB page yesterday. Watching my friends on the left attack Biden gave me flashbacks to watching my white friends from high school support Trump. I've lost so much respect for many of the people on my friends list over the last couple of years - especially after 10/7 - but this was the last straw. The cowardice and bigotry (ageism & ableism are bigotry) from people I thought highly of has been disgusting. I may return to the platform after the election but for now, I'm out.

I finally deactivated my FB page today. Watching white people I considered friends slag on Joe Biden reminds me of what it was like watching my white friends from high school slowly become Trumpers. I spent today channeling Maureen Bauer from GL. "You have broken my heart."

I'll be honest, I've become suspicious of protest movements across the globe. I'm never sure if they are authentic or the result of foreign meddling.

Impeachment would be a waste of time and would bring the Senate to screeching halt. It's more important to kept getting these other Biden judges confirmed. There's no way to "fix" SCOTUS. There just isn't. It took decades of corruption and manipulation to get to this point. The focus should be on November. That's it. Impeachment would be a self-inflicted wound.

So Clarence Thomas spent some time doing a public event where all he did was whine about how mean people are being to him. But the thing that really makes me angry is that there were no protesters. These leftists will disrupt events in support of a terror state 7,000 miles away but won't show up to do one of their "peaceful" protests for a man who is directly responsible for doing harm to millions of people in THIS country.

Biden started courting Haley voters the minute she dropped out. He's cut numerous ads targeting them and I suspect that outreach will ramp up significantly after the RNC because Trump (assuming he's still alive) will make it his mission to humiliate Haley and her voters. Whenever people say Biden should be doing this or that people need to remember that no one knows more about politics than Joe Biden.

I keep asking people who the RFK Jr voter is supposed to be. No one can give me an answer. All the money in the world isn't going to make people vote for that lunatic.

This Michigan "uncommitted" nonsense was just the "red tsunami" all over again. Social media and cable news gas each other up with horserace narratives fed by garbage polls & sellouts willing to say anything to appear on TV. Then people actually vote and it all falls apart. Journalism is broken and frankly I'm glad to see all the media layoffs. I just wish it would convince the press to change.

The press and pundits don't want to admit it but this election isn't going to be about immigration or Gaza, or whatever other manufactured nonsense. It's about abortion. I've seen the Dobbs Effect with own eyes here in the red state of Ohio. Folks aren't ready for what's coming. When Issue 1 (abortion) was on the ballot I decided to vote early the Sunday before election day. Polls opened at 8 AM. I was there at 8:30 and the line of cars wanting to drop off ballots was like concert traffic. When I finally parked, I walked in with a flood of people. It was a level of turnout I haven't seen since Obama 2012. Once I was inside the Board of Elections, I saw women. Whole generations of women voting. Mom, daughter, and grandma. I saw a group of four young women who were voting then going to get breakfast/brunch. Y'all are going to get tired of me saying this but every election is an abortion election until we get a new SCOTUS.

If I turn out to be wrong, so be it but I've seen too many people spend the last few years worrying about if he gets re-elected. I've chosen not to waste my peace on that. I'm more hopeful now than I've been in a while because now his decline is being discussed openly because they can no longer avoid the topic. It's obvious that whatever drug combo they have him on has stopped working so he's going to get worse faster and we all get to watch, laugh, and point fingers which ironically only increases his stress.

I'll be honest, I've never worried about Trump being re-elected because I've always expected him to die before November. I have been waiting for years for this moment. The great thing is Trump isn't going to get better. This train only runs in one direction and it ends at the graveyard. I've always dreamed of him collapsing during a rally for exactly that reason. But the truth is that when he dies, his cult will shatter. Some will become violent. Others will take themselves out when Trump doesn't resurrect three days later because that's how cults end.

The state police would arrest her before she got to the airport. I know they were in the process of passing a law that made it a crime to use state roads to help a woman get an abortion. The optics on that would be great for the pro-choice side but it would be hell for her. Can you imagine what cops would do to her in custody?

I'm not gonna lie, I wish Agnes Nixon was here. Imagine what she would do with the Texas situation,

What I've seen here in Ohio - where we've had two actual elections - showed me that the press is wrong about everything. I really want people to understand how epic it is that this state has spent the year fighting back.

I don't know when people decided that the Democratic base shouldn't be allowed to choose our nominee, especially when our nominee is the incumbent. Why are people acting like the Democratic base doesn't exist? We already beat Trump once. We can do it again. I don't mean this to you personally but do you have any idea how insulting it as a Black woman and active Democrat to have people act like they can just throw away the man we put in the White House? Do you expect us to do that work then sit by and watch people replace our nominee? Anyway... All this talk about Ukraine and Israel ignores a basic fact about the American electorate: they don't care about foreign policy. We have an enormously selfish electorate that for the most part simply doesn't care about the rest of the world. We were in Afghanistan for 20 years and no one gave a damn. And as the wars continue, Americans will only care less. As long as we don't have to put boots on the ground, they don't care. Also, as much as the press wants to ignore it, next year is all about abortion. Every election is about abortion until the composition of SCOTUS changes. Ignore the polls and look at the actual elections. Dems have been sweeping special elections. Andy Bashear got re-elected in Kentucky. Ohio made abortion a constitutional right and as of yesterday we have legal weed. Voters in Pennsylvania swept out an entire school board full of right wingers. We are winning and people act like we're not. Dems have the money, the energy, and actual policies to run on. We just have to stay focused and do the work.

It's easy to criticize America but over the years we've watched voters all over the world flirt with fascism.

Report from Ohio. I voted this morning and I can't remember the last time I felt this hopeful about an election. Doors opened at 8 and I got there around 8:30. Between the people showing up to vote in person and the ones dropping off mail ballots, it looked like Cavs traffic. The energy inside was off the charts and it was 70-80 percent women. I saw mothers there with their daughters. I saw friends showing up to vote together. It was the absolute opposite of the narrative we're seeing on social media and cable news.

I want to know where this adopted son is now. It's weird to me how no one seems to be asking who and where he is. Or that "Michael" himself doesn't step forward. Michael either never existed or he's currently residing in a shallow grave behind a church somewhere.

Michael Cohen is testifying against Trump today. Meanwhile Jenna Ellis just took a plea deal. Little by little, MAGA keeps losing.
