President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The story paints a contentious picture in and of itself.

Biden's at 37% according to NBC's poll.

It's not Fox News. It's COVID.

 

You're being willfully cute again.

 

But don't get me wrong, Kamala really needed to STFU. Dems are stupid.

 

Oooh, SideSHOW Bob. Never heard of him.

 

Agree with that last sentiment. Biden should have done far more draconian vaccine mandates far earlier.

 

It's not like Harris is a political neophyte. When a veep, or veep candidate story is mentioning "staff failures," it's really the boss who is failing by not hiring competent staff or simply is laying blame for their own failures. It isn't like Biden has an Obama-level of charisma, energy or support at this point - probably better for Harris to keep her distance. The farther away she is from Biden might end up being a blessing. But having stories get out like this are terrible for all involved.

 

I'm putting this here because the state of our political climate is the root of the problem. It's allowed such behavior to come out of the shadows.

So far this year, the Federal Aviation Administration has reported 5,114 unruly passenger incidents.

The story says it, and I completely agree. If someone assaults a flight attendant, make it a federal crime through the FAA, throw their butts under the jail, and put them on a lifetime no-fly list.

But it isn't just Fox.

It's every Murdoch outlet and the Washington Examiner and the Washington Times and Breitbart and the Blaze and scores of Sinclair broadcast outlets and hundreds of fake local news sites https://www.niemanlab.org/2020/07/h...l-news-this-map-shows-if-theres-one-near-you/ all amplifying and echoing one another across social media.

Factor in the the collapse of legitimate local news and contempt for the national press, and it's now possible to be completely walled off from reality.

 

And that's without even mentioning the deep commitment to clicks, Wall Street, and the status quo on the part of corporate "liberal" media.

 

Aww, how cute. The party of “let’s get rid of norms” is now mad when the other side gets rid of norms.
