Funny how logic works. Also, your comment was not exactly thoughtful or productive. Please try to include some actual content in your future posts. Especially political ones. I think we all know that Blue Dogs meant worst president in American history. The jury will be out on that one for some years yet, but at this point he sure does look like he'll be near bottom of the barrel. And it's a valid concern that our adversaries overseas view Biden (and Democratic presidents in general) as weak on defense and less likely to oppose them with force.

august948 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 ....best debate ever? Ok...so now what? It's been painfully obvious for a long time now that Biden belongs in an assisted living home and not the White House. Putting him on stage like that borders on elder abuse. Scary thing is that Xi, Putin, Kim and the mullahs of Iran, plus all the other bad guys are watching this, too. Why isn't Nancy Pelosi babbling on about taking the nuclear codes away from him?

mattyt36 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 After hundreds of Democratic mayors endorsed Kamala Harris, John Whitmire is conspicuously (but not surprisingly) absent from the list because he's "focused on storm recovery." Yeah, I totally get it, very difficult to have your staff member tweet out for you, "Thanks President Biden for your service and glad to support you in 2024 Kamala Harris." Definitely a heavy lift!

According to the Times: Quote The former president has positioned himself as an impartial elder statesman above intraparty machinations and was neutral during the 2020 Democratic primaries.

Politics can go stick its head in a pig. Or, maybe he's waiting for the DNC to pay off his campaign debt, if he has any left.

Please expand. 10 hours ago, august948 said: Now call the WaPo and ask them to do the same list for Democrat politicians. We'll wait....(a very long long time). I never understand the R logic . . . Rs censor a lot of Rs for not toeing the party line . . . sending people to the metaphorical Gulag as Augie claims . . . so ergo that means there must be a similarly long list of Ds censoring Ds? What is that called again? Projection?! Isn't it easier for you to just give us the list since you're so convinced it exists, @august948? Otherwise, I'd say you're being entirely disingenuous.
