For the next nine months, we will hear constantly that Joe Biden is too old and feeble to be President for another four years.
This is really a non-issue as his opponent, Donald Trump would be in his 80s during the next four years, so the age issue is really neutralized.
If Biden was facing a much younger Republican opponent, then age would be an issue, but if that was happening, even Biden has said he would not be running, and is doing so only to stop the threat of Donald Trump returning to the White House.
Joe Biden was driven to run in 2020 due to the horrible reality of Donald Trump, thinking he was the only potential opponent who could defeat Trump, which he did handily by more than 7.1 million votes, a massive victory.
Biden’s competence, decency, and record in office have been so noticeable, that despite horrible attacks from MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump, and despite polls that are so often inaccurate so far out from an election, the odds of his reelection are very likely.
Biden has presided over an economy that is outstanding; has the respect and support of NATO leaders who fear Donald Trump; and has the vision that would move America and its relationship with the world forward.
Fear that he might not finish a second term is also the issue of Donald Trump, since arguably, Trump is in far worse physical and cognitive shape than is Joe Biden.
So the Vice Presidency is crucial, and while many would be not happy at the thought of Kamala Harris, when considers the likely alternative list being bandied about of possible Trump Vice Presidential running mates, there is no comparison!
Would Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elise Stefanik, Kari Lake, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kristi Noem, Vivik Ramaswamy, Tim Scott or other sycophants be better than Kamala Harris?
Only in the delustional minds of MAGA Republicans, who care not a whit about American democracy, the rule of law, and the Constitution!
That prosecutor did not need to put his opinion about Biden’s age into that report. Very unprofessional. Just like Comey did to Hillary.
Agreed. The major low point that Special Counselor Hur made in his report was claiming Biden couldn’t remember his son’s death. That was very uncalled for.
Trump had a rally this weekend in South Carolina. He attacked Nikki Haley’s husband for serving in the military. He’s telling Putin that he can do whatever wants, to heck with NATO.
RFK Jr. had a campaign commercial during the Superbowl last night. If anyone hasn’t seen it, I found it on YouTube. Looks like something from the 60’s.
It was by far the worst ad on the Super Bowl. I was watching at a Superbowl party with about 10 others and all of us stopped when the ad came on. It didn’t make any sense and even the couple of Republicans in attendance were shaking their heads. Nobody could figure out what message he was trying to convey.
The message was: He’s a Kennedy! Remember how wonderful it was to have a Kennedy in the White House? We can have another Kennedy in the White House and it will be so wonderful!
Ad nausea!!! (Don’t correct me. I literally mean this ad made me want to puke)
A Republican megadonor is fueling his super PAC.

Agreed, Rustbelt. When I saw the ad I was trying to figure out who the target audience was. The imagery was lame-a$$ 60’s and the Kennedy Clan brand almost ancient history so I thought it can’t be geared to the young. My daughter said it might work because retro is in. Still, I found the ad fairly creepy and musty.
I thought it looked rather amateurish.
There *was* no context; the ad was just dropped into the telecast like all ads are. That’s one of the things that was so jarring about it. Usually you’re getting Tostitos ads and fancy ads for insurance or weird tech companies (lately), or even (since at least last year) ads for JESUS. And then this one shows up.
The Jesus foot fetish ad was pretty creepy too.
Now…This is what I call a commercial. No advertising department can beat Budweiser and their Clydesdales (and Labrador Retriever). I could sit and watch an entire night of all their commercials.
The Band singing The Weight is the perfect addition!
The Budweiser commercial was one I was looking forward to seeing, but somehow I missed it. Thanks for posting it.
Some others I missed were the E-Trade babies, Oreos, the Hellman’s mayo cat, and the wish granting genie.
Text me and I’ll give you the links for those.
Ok. Will do.
