President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Many more people who watched that wanted to punch her than to praise her.

Let's also not lose sight of the fact that the people who watched that were watching CNN. Sadly, there were plenty of people watching Fox News at that time who would applaud her.

The mouth-breathers didn't go away. CNN just managed to get enough people there to talk over Nancy Mace.

The mispronounciation, it's not a giant deal if you do it honestly. If you sit there after being corrected and insist on mispronouncing her name, that's childish disrespect.

 

could i keep the prosperity the wife just got a fully loaded denali and i wish i could multiply the fishes like the true savior blessed be because lemme tell you deep sea fishing ain't cheap

 

This is bad news for bad candidate Harris, and I am anxious.

Along the U.S.-Mexico border, migrant apprehensions plunged by more than two-thirds in July from a year ago, to the lowest level of the Biden era, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics provided to USA TODAY.
Migrant crossings have declined every month for the past five months. The results mark a rare victory on one of the Biden administration's toughest political battlefronts, as Vice President Kamala Harris prepares for next week’s Democratic National Convention. CBP is expected to publicly release the new border data Friday.

 

And now, McCain's daughter is the family pig. Funny how that works.

 

I mean if migrants don't even want to risk illegally crossing the border to come to the US, obviously the country is going down the drain.

 

What legacy media want is the horserace.

Since 2015, in order to cover the horserace they've had to legitimize Trump, whom they all knew and know to be a pathological liar, con man, crook and fraud.

While it may never rise to the level of actively wanting Trump to win, they continue covering him and treating him as a normal politician on a normative scale of politicians' behavior.

He is not.

 

Legacy media like the Washington Post saw their traffic and revenue plummet after Trump left office.

They want the shitshow. They need the shitshow.

 

What the American Right misunderstands - intentionally or not - is the political imbalance of the American press. Mass media in the United States is in the tank for . . . the status quo.

Send up a flare when the Times launches its investigation into Jared Kushner's $2 billion Saudi Christmas Club.

 

1 They are not covering him like he’s normal.

2 I've asked before "OK, what kind of coverage then" and received "I don't know."

 

Bovada update:
Harris -135
trump +115

 

1) CNN aired at least part of his "press conference" live yesterday.

2) As suggested, maybe a couple of legitimate investigations into the immense criminality of his businesses and his administration.

 

For those of us who have to fight muscle memory not to presume to be on a first-name basis, a permission slip.
