President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

RFK Jr.: Win the White House, or die trying!

 

He’s definitely one of those things.

 

The only people I ever hear talk about RFK Jr. are Republicans trying to warn the libs about how much of a problem he’s going to be for Biden.

No one else cares.

Rand just jelly bc he coulda used that level of security when his neighbor kicked his ass.

 

Meanwhile, Trump (having already offended everybody else) turns his attention to offending the Zionists.



This is great news for DeSantis, who—

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s running for the Republican presidential nomination, thinks his state should be a model for the rest of the nation. Add an asterisk for inflation.

Living costs in Florida are now rising at more than twice the national average, according to the Labor Department’s latest inflation data. DeSantis and other Republicans have dinged President Biden for high inflation, but now the story is flipping. The nationwide inflation rate has dropped sharply during the last year. Floridaflation is stickier.

The year-over-year inflation rate in Tampa is 7.3%. In Miami, it’s 6.9%. Those two Florida cities now rank highest among 21 metro areas the Labor Department reports on every month. The nationwide inflation rate is 3%.​

Another problem in DeSantis’s Florida: High inflation

Well, he’s a really great guy and everybody loves—

Ron DeSantis’s biggest problem is existential: It’s that he’s Ron DeSantis. Polling has consistently shown that the more voters get to know him, the less they like him. His numbers have been trending steadily downward since speculation about his campaign began to ramp up in earnest. At the start of the year, shortly after he had romped to reelection in Florida, DeSantis and Trump were neck and neck. Ever since, his numbers have steadily declined. A late-June NBC poll found that DeSantis had dropped nine points since April—and was now at only 22 percent, a staggering 29 points behind Trump. FiveThirtyEight’s aggregate poll currently has him sitting at 21 percent—28 points behind the former president.

DeSantis’s DeSantis problem doesn’t end there, however. Voters—and the national media—have noticed that he’s, well, a bit weird. Stories about DeSantis’s lack of charisma and general off-puttingness abound, reinforcing the idea that he’s cold and awkward. He has entered what can only be called the Ted Cruz zone: a self-perpetuating narrative in which tales of a candidate’s aloofness (to put it mildly) are constantly being pushed to the fore. For most of the last three years, Ron DeSantis’s story was about him being the future of the Republican Party. Now, he already looks like a loser. ​

1 by 1, in the cloak of darkness, Israel went and dealt with the '72 Olympic bombers. A few antiques at Trumpland won't be so difficult.

 

Trump says he's been advised he's target of US investigation into efforts to overturn 2020 election

 

On a Sunday night? The Lord’s day?

 

I'd be fascinated to see Trump's list of lawyers for all of his legal entanglements. Like are some working on multiple? I'm guessing we could make an immaculate grid out of the cases and the lawyers.

 

Of course

 

Everywhere one turns.
