Biden's demented desperate speech
But there’s something else at stake, democracy itself. I’m not the only one who sees it. Recent polls have shown an overwhelming majority of Americans believe our democracy is at risk, that our democracy is under threat. They too see that democracy is on the ballot this year, and they’re deeply concerned about it.

The midterm elections are 5 days away. As Jen Psaki recently noted: If that election is a referendum on Joe Biden, the democrats will lose. At no point has Biden ever recoiled from his far left policies. Last night Joe Biden gave what was a very divisive speech in which he told voters to vote democrat in order to "preserve democracy." Fittingly the speech was given in what once was a beautiful DC location: Union Station, which is today a filthy shell of it's former self. Kind of like what progressive have done to the nation.



This is how he began that speech:

"Good evening, everyone.



Just a few days ago, a little before 2:30 a.m. in the morning, a man smashed the back windows and broke into the home of the speaker of the House of Representatives, the third-highest-ranking official in America. He carried in his backpack zip ties, duct tape, rope and a hammer.

As he told the police, he had come looking for Nancy Pelosi to take her hostage, to interrogate her, to threaten to break her kneecaps. But she wasn’t there. Her husband, my friend Paul Pelosi, was home alone. The assailant tried to take Paul hostage. He woke him up, and he wanted to tie him up. The assailant ended up using a hammer to smash Paul’s skull. Thankfully, by the grace of God, Paul survived.

All this happened after the assault, and it just — it’s hard to even say. It’s hard to even say. After the assailant entered the home asking: “Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?” Those are the very same words used by the mob when they stormed the United States Capitol on January the 6th, when they broke windows, kicked in the doors, brutally attacked law enforcement, roamed the corridors hunting for officials and erected gallows to hang the former vice president, Mike Pence."

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/us/politics/transcript-biden-speech-democracy.html



As anyone can clearly see, whoever wrote that used Jan 6th and the attack on Paul Pelosi as its bookends. BTW, just about everything in that thirtd paragraph is false, including the very idea that the assailant of Paul Pelosi was a "MAGA" Republican. That lunatic was an illegal migrant, who happened to be a drug addict and a homeless abuser of children. (All things the left usually defends.) 

Here we are on the eve of an election when the country is divided and Joe Biden, who will not talk about the issues the voters care about, resorts to more division to hold people to their tribalist instincts. In that regard he is kind of like his mentor.

The speech comes following a WSJ poll that finds suburban women swinging towards the Republicans:


"The GOP has seen a shift in its favor among several voter groups,  including Latino voters  and women, and particularly white suburban women. That group, which the pollsters said makes up 20% of the electorate, shifted 26 percentage points away from Democrats since the Journal’s August poll and now favors the GOP by 15 percentage points."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/gop-prospects-rise-amid-economic-pessimism-wsj-poll-finds-11667295002




Whoever is advising this ridiculous idiot posing as the nation's leader has made a terrible mistake. People saw that disgraceful speech last night for what it was. It fooled nobody. The American people have been waiting for this election.



To whoever wrote that speech:

That is why democrats will lose a free & fair election next Tuesday!

The first part of that is true. The second part you falsely attributed to me. I have had numerous discussions with TiG regarding Trump's refusal to accept the outcome of the election. It's there for all to see.

Why the Jan 6th film from the Trump hating Lincoln Project?

The topic here and the issue before voters is Joe Biden, the current president.

Biden's speech last evening was a Hail Mary show of divisiveness - just like Obama's stump speeches have been. Last evening, Biden mentioned inflation/economy (voters' primary concerns) only once, but he mentioned Republicans/MAGA as a "threat to democracy" 38 times in a 25 minute speech. Gaslighting, anyone?

From what I have learned, Biden and his adherents consider the following as "threats to democracy":

  • Voter ID
  • Legal immigration
  • Fox News
  • Elon Musk
  • First and Second Amendments

One more thing - I wish someone would finally teach Biden that the USA is not a democracy and that it is a constitutional republic.

I watch his repulsive speech.

He kept complaining about election deniers. The only people I see questioning the upcoming midterm election and 2024 election integrity are Brandon and the Democrats.

In his second ever solo White House press conference on Wednesday, Mr Biden was asked if November's congressional elections would be legitimate if he could not pass his voting plans.

"It all depends on whether or not we're able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election," he said, referring to stricter voting rules enacted by Republican state houses.

"I'm not saying it's going to be legit," Mr Biden said when asked about the possibility of fraud in the forthcoming elections that will decide the balance of power in Washington.

"The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed," the Democratic president continued.

Senate Democrats say they share President Biden’s concern that the results of the 2022 midterm elections may not be legitimate because of restrictive voting laws passed by GOP-controlled state legislatures and the empowerment of state-level officials allied with former President Trump.  

But the senators are torn over how hard to push a stolen-election narrative ahead of the November election in which Republicans are expected to make big gains in Congress.  

While Democratic lawmakers are worried that Republican state officials are seeking to suppress Democratic votes, some are leery of sounding like Trump, who made predictions of widespread election fraud before the 2020 presidential election and continues to do so on a regular basis.  

Hillary Clinton has claimed Republicans “already have a plan” to steal the 2024 presidential election, the latest in a series of wild charges by the former first lady, senator from New York and secretary of state.

“Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election, and they’re not making a secret of it,” Clinton says in the Oct. 21 video from the progressive organization Indivisible.

“The right-wing-controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections,” she adds, referring to a case before the high court involving the invalidation of North Carolina’s congressional map by a state court.

The case, Moore v. Harper, could give state legislatures more power in regulating elections for federal office.

As a result, Clinton warned, the upcoming presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, “or even the anachronistic Electoral College ,” but by Republican-controlled state legislatures.

Following her loss, Clinton notoriously alleged that the election was stolen from her, comparing it in a 2019 interview with CBS News to “applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado.”

“He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she said of Trump . “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.”

Despite there being no evidence that the 2016 election was anything but aboveboard, Clinton has insisted there is a “widespread understanding” that the election was not conducted legitimately.

“There’s just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover,” Clinton said in a 2020 interview on The Atlantic’s politics podcast .

“You don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, ‘Whoa, something’s not right here.’ That was a deep sense of unease,” she said.

Brandon was correct- Americans do fear for Democracy. But it is protecting it from Fascist Democrats that want to:

  • Remove state's power to run elections (violating the Constitution).
  • Do away with the filibuster
  • Pack the Supreme Court
  • Democrats have already weaponized the IRS, DOJ, and FBI into functioning arms of the DOC.

Once again Brandon is trying to demonize anyone that dares to not march in lock step with the Democrat Party. All of the US flags that were surrounding him during his speech need to be burned. His very presence has sullied them.

Midterms need to be a reckoning for the Democrats; and any Republican politicians and leaders stupid enough to think that a Democrat is better than a member of their own party. McConnell needs to lose his position in the Senate, period.

That lunatic was an illegal migrant, who happened to be a drug addict and a homeless abuser of children. (All things the left usually defends.) 

That sentence is hysterical. I dont mean hysterical funny. Hysterical delusional and desperate. 

The man is from CANADA. You could take all the times the right has complained about illegal migrants from Canada and not fill a paragraph with it.  Now all of the sudden migration from Canada is a national existential crisis - rofl. 

David Depape ran multiple blogs and websites. They may have been tiny enterprises with few readers, but they are a record of what he believed. His beliefs align with near perfection to MAGA ideology and Q Anon and Trumpster obsessions.

David DePape, accused attacker of Paul Pelosi, had zip ties, wrote blog with fairy rantings, screeds

Tom Howell Jr. 5-6 minutes   10/31/2022


David DePape , who is accused of attacking House Speaker   Nancy Pelosi ’s husband in San Francisco, was carrying zip ties with   him , ran a website that talked about an invisible fairy friend and posted images of Hillary Clinton as a zombie.

The details trickling out from the early Friday attack on   Paul Pelosi   have some people comparing it to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, when members of the mob carried zip ties and looked for Mrs.   Pelosi   and other lawmakers inside the building.

Mr. DePape’s website, frenlyfrens.com, has been taken down, but it included rants against Jewish people, Blacks, Democrats, the media and transgender persons, according to The Daily Mail.

In one post, he complained he couldn’t find a fairy house online with adequate doors.

“They have lots of fairy houses, but NONE of them are MADE for fairies,” Mr. DePape wrote.

Other posts talked about his estrangement from Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, a public-nudity activist in San Francisco.



Mr. DePape allegedly carried duct tape along with zip ties during the attack and entered Mr.   Pelosi ’s bedroom, where   he   was sleeping. The two men did not know each other, according to police.

Police said they did a welfare check at the home and found the two men wrestling over a hammer, which Mr. DePape used to strike Mr.   Pelosi   before being taken into custody. Mr.   Pelosi   is expected to recover but required surgery for a fractured skull.

Sources told CNN that Mr. DePape, who allegedly said “Where’s   Nancy ?” during the attack, brought the hammer with   him .

... His social media showed he posted conspiracy theories about the origins of the covid epidemic, about the validity of the 2020 election, and on the January 6th insurrection on Capitol Hill.

He first began posting on a blog titled ‘God Is Loving’ in June 2007 with rambling screeds about religion. He stopped posting for 15 years – then suddenly started again on August 24 this year with racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and crazed entries about the Q-Anon conspiracy theory.

... On a separate blog he set up called Frenly Frens, he wrote unhinged entries on how ‘Jews hate whites’, and several posts about Donald Trump, including one that said: ‘Trump you NEEEEEEEED to make Tulsi your VP in 2024.’ 

He defended former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty of killing George Floyd.

DePape called Chauvin's trial 'a modern lynching' and falsely indicated that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

It is embarrassing to watch you thrash about , trying to pretend you are winning any of these arguments. 

Who did Depape attack? Did he attack Kari Lake? Ted Cruz? Donald Trump Jr? NO, he attacked the home of the Democratic speaker of the house. 

Is there evidence that he chose Pelosi for "political reasons" and not for "homeless" reasons?

Yes there is. His blog postings and social media, which according to multiple news reports contained beliefs and rants that correspond to what is believed and ranted by people on the far right. Disparage blacks? Check. Disparage Jews? Check. Disparage trans? Check. Promote Jan 6 ? Check. Promote Trump? Check.

Elon Musk said Twitter wouldn't become a 'hellscape.' It's already changing

October 31, 2022 4:49 PM ET
Elon Musk regularly tweets and shares controversial things on Twitter, but now that he's the boss, his actions take on new significance. In this photo, Musk arrives for the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2022, in New York.

A surge in racist slurs, a coordinated campaign to spread antisemitic memes, an owner posting a baseless conspiracy theory: welcome to the first few days of Elon Musk's Twitter.

Since the billionaire   took control   of the influential social media platform on Oct. 27, users, researchers and the company's own employees have been warning that trolls and other malicious actors are testing Twitter's limits, apparently emboldened by a new owner who has vowed to   loosen its guardrails   in the name of free speech.

The incidents are raising particular alarm given that Americans are in the final days of voting in November's midterm elections, putting government agencies, civil society groups and social media companies on edge over the circulation of false information and hateful rhetoric that is fomenting real-world violence .

Musk himself inflamed those concerns on Sunday when he tweeted a link to unfounded, homophobic allegations about the violent  attack on Paul Pelosi , the husband of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Replying to a tweet from Hillary Clinton about the attack, Musk wrote: "there is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye." He included a link to an article from the Santa Monica Observer, a fringe website with a history of publishing false stories, which makes lurid claims about the attack without evidence.

Musk, who has more than 112 million Twitter followers, deleted the post hours later, but not before it had been retweeted and liked tens of thousands of times.

His tweet heightened fears that Twitter is headed into a new era of toxicity under Musk, who has fired the company's top leadership and   dissolved its board , naming himself sole director.

The billionaire Tesla CEO has long used his Twitter account to provoke, joke and troll. His posts take on a new significance now that he owns and controls the platform, however.

Yael Eisenstat, a former Facebook official now at the Anti-Defamation League,   tweeted   that for Musk to amplify an unfounded rumor "days after claiming to advertisers that he's going to be a responsible leader, all I can say is: I'm not overreacting by expressing my concerns." She was referring to an open letter Musk   wrote to advertisers   last week pledging that Twitter would not become a "free-for-all hellscape."

"Actions always speak louder than words," Eisenstat wrote.

Musk and Twitter did not respond to requests for comment.

"The nudist “ex-life partner” of the man who assaulted Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband on Friday has apologized to the speaker and her family for her former beau’s behavior.

Speaking with Bay Area station KGO via phone this weekend, Oxane “Gypsy” Taub expressed great remorse over suspect   David DePape’s actions , especially given as she happens to be a huge Pelosi fan. And indeed, to hear Taub tell it, it sounds like DePape at one point used to be a fan as well.

“Well when I met him, he was only 20 years old, and he didn’t have any experience in politics, and he was very much in alignment with my views and I’ve always been very progressive. I absolutely admire Nancy Pelosi,” she said."

Frank Ciccarelli, a carpenter in Berkeley, California (who occasionally employed DePape) , told  The New York Times  that if you started a conversation with DePape about politics, "it was all over."

"Because he really believed in the whole MAGA, 'Pizzagate,' stolen election — you know, all of it, all the way down the line. If you go to Fox News, if you go on the internet and you look at QAnon, you know, he had all these theories," Ciccarelli said.

Well maybe you should know this before assuming again - from left wing media, no less:

Suspect in Paul Pelosi attack allegedly told police he was on 'suicide mission' with more targets

The man accused of brutally attacking the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told police officers at the scene that he was on "a suicide mission" and had additional targets, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

“I’m sick of the insane f------ level of lies coming out of Washington, D.C. I came here to have a little chat with his wife," DePape said he told Paul Pelosi, according to the filing.

“I didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life,” it says he added.

Asked whether he had other plans besides the attack at Pelosi's house, DePape named several "prominent" state and federal politicians, their relatives and a local professor, according to the court filing. None of the people were named.

Well, you are just going to have to be disappointed. Even if the Republicans take both houses of congress they wont be able to do a thing other than hold witch hunt investigations and block Bidens judicial nominees. Both courses of action would make it more likely that the Dems win the presidency again in '24. 

Biden has the veto over any GOP legislation (not that they have any planned), and Republicans wont compromise with Biden on anything. In political terms, the next two years will be miserable. Doesnt sound like a path to '24 success for the Republicans, does it?

Where?  None of the investigations produced any evidence of what they were supposed to be looking into.  Instead we were given "impeachments" for hurt feelings.  Which by the way did NOT end in convictions.  I guess that's what happens when you play childish partisan putt putt games.

I agree, but when 56% of one of the party's voters believe in conspiracy theories and known lies it's easy to see which side has an actual majority of "radicalized stupid people and some of the gullible are mentally ill". That doesn't seem to be the party any sane Americans would want to support and be part of.

Some 56% of Republicans believe that QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory, is mostly or partly true

Majority Of Republicans Believe The QAnon Conspiracy Theory Is Partly Or Mostly True, Survey Finds (forbes.com)

In poll after poll, about 70% of Republicans say they don’t think Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election.

Most Republicans still falsely believe Trump’s stolen election claims. Here are some reasons why. - Poynter

Birds of a feather...

If you want to join and vote along with and for radicalized stupid people, the monumentally gullible, white nationalists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazi's, rightwing religious conservative extremists and violent insurrectionists then look no further than the Republican party, they welcome your vote. But if you have a problem believing lies and actually value facts and reality, then the Republican party probably isn't the party for you regardless of what the price of gas is.

Take that lame argument to the dumbasses who care (mainly on the right). 

There isnt a single Democrat in the country who made it possible for "threats to the country" to win Republican primaries. The only exception would be the meager handful of people who voted in the Republican primaries even though they are Democrats. The people who put the far right "threats to the country" on the November ballot are the Republican primary voters who voted for them. Period.

I'm saying that it is clear that the Republican party has welcomed "radicalized stupid people, the monumentally gullible, white nationalists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazi's, rightwing religious conservative extremists and violent insurrectionists" into their party and if anyone wants to join them, then the Republican party is for them.

When 56% of a political party believe in wild unproven Qanon conspiracy theories, that's FAR more than just a "crazy fringe". When 70% of a party believe a blatant LIE about election fraud, that is no longer just some "crazy fringe", that is the "mainstream" in that political party. Anyone who jumps on that psycho bandwagon of liars and conspiracy theorists can only blame themselves for the company they keep.

I prefer to talk to everyone. I have friends who are liberals, conservatives, moderates etc.

I do as well and with the conservatives who believe crazy conspiracy theories, I refuse to discuss politics or religion. Most of the conservatives I know don't actually believe the big lie and don't believe the crazy Qanon conspiracy theories and many of them are voting Democrat this year because they're sane intelligent conservatives who are sick of the fetid disease of Donald that has infected the Republican party.

Life is better when we can listen and learn.

I've listened, I've heard all the wild conspiracy theories and the breathless tales of Hunter Biden s laptop and Soros funded lapdogs and supposed child sex rings and Democrats eating babies, but when it's clear they're fucking nuts, I see no reason to continue to listen to the ranting of crazy people.

f you think one of these parties has any moral high ground you aren't being honest with yourself.

Yes, and if a President was interested in leading the country and not simply pandering to the hysterics in his base for partisan purposes, he could address an important topic. But that would require criticizing Democrats too, and as this discussion  shows, many of the left are psychologically  incapable of admitting Democrats are less then perfect.  So, instead we get the same old same old that could come straight  from a dailykos diary that causes anyone with a functioning brain who remembers democrats repeatedly engaging in election denial, sowing distrust in election results and attacking/threatening Republicans to roll their at eyes at Biden's simplistic rantings.

Why is this surprising?  Democrats are scared because their old trick of getting the electorate to fight each other isn't diverting attention away from the government.  Now the Federal government is being directly attacked.  The legitimacy of the Federal government is being directly challenged.

Hasn't anyone noticed that Democrats' grass roots movements attack people on the street?  The Democrats' base do not question or challenge the authority of the Federal government.  It's okay to burn cities, break windows, loot, and attack police lines because that diverts attention away from the Federal government.  The people fighting each other on the streets is how Democrats believe democracy is supposed to work.

But Trump's 'lies' directly attacks the legitimacy of the Federal government.  Trump's 'lies' encourages people to directly attack the Federal government.  That's the existential threat for Democrats.  So, don't be surprised that Democrats will ramp up efforts to divide the country.  Democrats will be quite shameless in pointing fingers and making all sorts of hair-on-fire dire predictions.

Biden is trying to start a dog fight to divert attention away from the Federal government.  Biden wants cities burned and looted so that the electorate won't pay attention to what Democrats are doing to the country using the Federal government.  Democrats don't govern, Democrats dictate.  Without the unquestioned authority of the Federal government, Democrats can do nothing.

More fear mongering than hate possibly but..................

But there’s something else at stake, democracy itself. I’m not the only one who sees it. Recent polls have shown an overwhelming majority of Americans believe our democracy is at risk, that our democracy is under threat. They too see that democracy is on the ballot this year, and they’re deeply concerned about it.

We have a political party that is not only harboring a traitor who tried to overthrow the American government, many of them worship him. 

He is likely their next presidential nominee. And you think Biden is over reacting. Its hard to explain how clueless some people are.

It seems that, to hard core Democrats, "hate speech" is any speech with which they disagree. Twitter (prior to Musk), Facebook, MSM, and Fauci are other examples.

Biden's speech wasn't demented.  Biden wasn't speaking to the country or to independents.  Biden was throwing red meat to a supposedly loyal Democrat base.  That's because Biden's approval among Democrats has been slipping.

Even if Democrats retain control of Congress (no matter how unlikely), Biden won't receive unquestioning support from those Democrats.  Biden knows his legacy is sunk no matter which party controls Congress.  Biden will be a lame duck after the midterms, no matter what happens.

Biden was trying to unify true blue Democrats and he even botched that up.
