Bumping this thread after reading an
amusing article that came up on my phone's news feed yesterday. Note that I'm not linking it directly because it contains profanity in the title, which should be an indication of the quality of "journalism" on display at Vanity Fair. Nonetheless, I think some of you would enjoy the full Clown described here.
The article asks what "Dems" will do if Biden doesn't run in 2024. The answer is "[fricking] chaos." It begins
President Joe Biden says he intends to run for reelection in 2024. And that Vice President Kamala Harris will again be on the ticket with him
That's right, an already senile man who will be two and a half years more senile in November 2024 wants to run for president again - I guess this time his nickname can be Comatose Joe. And what a great idea to have the most unpopular vice president of all time along for the ride.
“I’m just going to be brutally honest about this,” says a national Democratic strategist. “But I don’t think he’s physically up to being able to run again. I’m optimistic that by the summer of 2024 the country is going to be back to 95 percent normality—and he’s going to have to run a vigorous, hard campaign that he didn’t in 2020. He’s not going to be able to stay in the basement.”
The article glosses over said unpopularity of VP Harris by noting "Harris's first year as V.P. was rocky." It goes on to blame her utter failure as a politican on barriers placed on her by the White House whatever that means. Of course, keeping her as from the public eye as possible is the best thing that can be done for her.
The article then goes on to discuss the likelihood of Buttigieg earning the nomination. Despite the prevailing social trends, I think America is not ready for a homosexual president. People who proudly display rainbow imagery on their LinkedIn as a virtue signal are not necessarily going to vote for such a person.
And then, in what provides the most amusement of all, the article goes on to discuss the likelihood of the nomination going to a certain moron bartender representative from New York City who is
charismatic, has a potent digital fundraising operation, and possesses enormous name recognition
Sure, why not, throw one of the most polarizing figures in American politics out there. She'll do great in the debates, perhaps forming one or more complete sentences without using the words "like" or "literally."
After listing some no-name governors, the article goes on to dash our hopes of seeing Crooked H, Dwayne Johnson, Oprah, or Al Bore as the nominee.
I'll quote the final paragraph in its idiotic entirety:
A whole lot is going to happen in the next year, before Biden needs to make the real decision about running for reelection. “I was around in 2010, when the narrative was, ‘Everything’s going terrible. We got our [butts] kicked in the midterms. Obama shouldn’t run again,’ ” Belcher says. “By the time you get to 2012, General Motors is alive and well and Osama bin Laden is dead. What’s missing from the hot takes is that presidencies build an arc. I bet you in two years the conversation in Middle America goes something like this: ‘You know that bridge that’s been falling apart for four decades? They’re finally doing something about it.’ ” Let’s hope so. And let’s hope COVID is finally in the rearview mirror and the economy is roaring. Maybe Biden decides to go out on a high note, to spend more time with his grandkids; maybe Harris’s fortunes have risen with the tide and she is seen as Biden’s rightful Democratic heir. But if not? “Then,” Belcher says, “you’re going to have everyone who has ever thought about running for president jumping in.”
I'm eagerly awaiting the high note on which our Dear Leader will leave office paving the way for various clowns to battle each other under the big top of theatrical electoral politics.
