Media Jackasses
Van Jones , the both sidesing turd who passes for a political commentator on CNN, just said to the effect of " what if the new Democratic candidate has some skeletons in their closet that would cost them the election?"

The Democrats didnt run Biden out, the national media did. They have hounded the man 24/7 for almost a month now. No 81 year old could withstand such a diarrheic onslaught. 

The media, and I am talking about the three major networks, cable news , and major newspapers have been missing in action over this period in terms of contrasting Biden with Trump. The truth is the media doesnt care if a traitor gets back in office, or a crook, pathological liar, or a mentally ill asshole. Some of the media , you NBC, was actively cheering on the recent GOP freakshow convention. 

Van Jones , the both sidesing turd who passes for a political commentator on CNN, just said to the effect of " what if the new Democratic candidate has some skeletons in their closet that would cost them the election?"

My God, the nominated GOP candidate has skeletons in his closet , or rather out in the open, the size of the airplane hangar of a Boeing 757 assembly line. 

The country is more ill served by the mainstream media right now then I can ever recall in my 74 years on this earth.

"The Democrats didn't run Biden out, the national media did"

On, but the Democrats did indeed urge Joe to give it up. The media simply recorded the truth about Biden being weak and in mental decline. I'm sure Obama had a hand in it.

Lol. It must be shocking to you see an elected Democrat treated like every single Republican for the first time in your life. Three whole weeks of routine reporting was enough to destroy him.

Don't worry though, the media will more than make up for it by their upcoming hagiography of Kamala Harris.

Trump had by any fair reckoning, a bizarre and disastrous acceptance speech at his convention. 

What did we hear 10 minutes later?  All about Biden. There was almost no broadcast media discussion of Trumps ridiculous speech.

It was bizarre.  The excuse for that abomination is that "he is always like that".  That may be an explanation that MAGA embraces, but no one else should. 

Trumps "logic" is, "i'm an unhinged lying asshole every day of my life, but since I am like this every day of my life why should it bother anyone". 

What the fuck is happening to our country?

Yep, let's ignore Schumer, Jeffries, and Pelosi because they're nobody and their opinions don't matter.  Let's ignore Adan Schiff (which would actually be easy).  Let's ignore the other 25 or 26 Congressional defections because they're all nobodies.  Let's ignore the polls while we're at it since voters are unimportant.

Joe Biden did this to himself.  And there's no scapegoat in this galaxy that could have saved him.  

Now Democrats have to worry that Kamala Harris will provide her own October surprise.  

Lack of planning by Democrats is NOT a crisis for the country.  Trump was President once.  And the country will survive Trump being President again.

The country would probably survive a battle between Godzilla and King Kong on our nations city streets too, but why would we want to see it?

"the country would survive" is literally an endorsement of just about everyone who has ever lived.

Crooked Joe Biden is the Worst President, by far, in the History of our Nation. He has done everything possible to destroy our Country, from our Southern Border, to Energy Dominance, National Security, International Standing, and so much more. He was annihilated in an Earth Shattering Debate, and now the Corrupt and Radical Democrats are throwing him overboard. He was not fit to serve from the very beginning, but the people around him lied to America about his Complete and Total Mental, Physical, and Cognitive Demise. Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

And that's why the Democrats, despite all the noise being made, must nominate Harris as the Democrat candidate. That now almost $50 million added to the $91 million already in the campaign coffers can only be used by Harris if she is on the ticket. If the DNC ends up with someone else at the top of the ticket the campaign loses all that money.

Anyway you look at it, the Democrats are in a tough position with only 104 days to present new candidates and gain the votes. Can they do it? Time will tell. As we've seen on this site, there are some who will vote Democrat regardless of the candidates just as there are some who will vote Republican regardless of the candidates. But can she earn enough votes to succeed?

They'll praise Biden for being a "patriot."  Patriotism now meaning he took the golden parachute when given the choice of resigning or being fired. Then it will turn into days of praising Kamala Harris as  the greatest hero imaginable to women, though she got her start in politics by sleeping with a married power broker 30 years older than her.

Truth and trust in the media died with Walter Cronkite.  The internet has taken over the flow of misinformation, disinformation and outright lies, and the ignorant public laps it up.  Please, Scotty, beam me back to the early 1950s, you know, those days when people didn't lock their doors and left the keys in the car and nothing bad happened from doing so.

Thats why I want to go as far back as the early 1950s.  The radio was stolen out of my car in the 1960s.  It was a convertible so it was easy to break in.  Then the car I had for my kids was stolen in the 1990s and it was a convertible as well.  Taught me to stay away from convertibles for good.
