Biden-Harris HQ (@BidenHQ) posted at 4:29 PM on Tue, Jul 16, 2024:
President Biden: If you’re going to talk about standing against violence, you must stand against all violence. We stand against violence perpetrated against presidential candidates in Pennsylvania. We stand against violence perpetrated against George Floyd in Minnesota. We stand against violence against Black veterans, like police officer Eugene Goodman on January 6. If you’re going to be outspoken on one, don’t be silent on others. If we’re going to speak about violence, we’re going to speak about guns. More children in America die of a gunshot wound than any other reason. That is stunning and that is sick. If you want to stand against violence in America, then join me in getting these weapons of war off the streets of America

    With the Trump campaign’s continued refusal to provide any official info about his medical care following the assassination attempt, many people now think Trump was likely injured by a shard of broken glass instead of a bullet. Hence the bandage to hide the wound.

    Yes. Republicans attempted a coup to overthrow the results of a US presidential election, and they failed.

Johnson had given us civil rights law but was hounded from the ticket, a tragic character. The result: the Chicago convention disaster, Richard Nixon, his Southern strategy, leading to civil war today. The short-sighted rush to push Joe Biden out is filled with such peril.

It is delusional for anyone to think we can pull someone through without an infrastructure or resources. To all the older electeds who have the gall to say he needs to go for it, maybe you all should step aside as well. To all the electeds in swing districts who he uplifted and helped get there, you too can go. To all the ignorant young voters who are mad that he supports Israel’s right to exist, good, don’t vote. Stay home. And to all those trying to push @KamalaHarris aside, you should be embarrassed.

    From Scopedog over at Establishment Bar

    “Stepping away for a bit, but something just hit me.

    We’ve been worked up into a lather over this crap with the move to kick Biden and Harris out, with the revelation about these rich donors leaning on a handful of Democrats.

    But honestly, what if this effort has been going on for some time now, and the reason why we’re seeing more of this post-debate and especially during the RNC is because they are the ones who are getting desperate?

    Think about it. There were rumors since Biden was inaugurated that Biden was only going to be a one-term President, or that he was too old. Then last year there was all of the Gaza protests and the charges of “Genocide Joe!” (and we still don’t know who the hell was really funding all of that). Then there were the primaries with all the focus on Philips and Williams who didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. There was the “Uncommitted” bullshit, with one of the founders claiming that making Biden lose was “short term pain for long term gain”–which, if you can believe it, was them saying that the long term gain was that the Democrats would finally ditch their support for Israel.

    Notice what all of these had in common? It was all about making Biden look bad or trying to kick him (and Harris out)…and there was no mention at all about what would happen if Trump won because of these actions, and also ignoring the will of the voters who chose Biden and Harris by overwhelming numbers.

    I’m not into conspiracy theories, but I admit I am prone to leaping off the ledge without thinking. But honestly, when I stop to think about it, there is more to this than meets the eye. Biden has clearly been a great and progressive President, but it’s clear that quite a few do not like that and are trying to bollix things up, just like they tried with FDR, Truman, Clinton, and Obama. But it seems like it’s more intense with Biden due to social media and the 24 hour news channels.”

    You know how people are worried about foreign investors buying up US farmland?

    There’s a company that helps them do that! It’s like Uber for buying US farmland.

    And who’s one of its key investors, profiting off of every sale?

    J.D. Vance.

    The administration can literally run on the “Hollywood and the media are against me” shtick that MAGA tried using a few years back.

    The pieces are right there for the taking.

    This recent swing state poll was sponsored by Democrats for the Next Generation which is spearheaded by Mike Novogratz a crypto investor. Anyway he is complaining about the Biden administration’s stance on cryptocurrency. Y’ALL ARE GETTING PLAYED OVER CRYPTOCURRENCY?!

    If Biden announced that he’s stepping aside and thinks Democrats should nominate a swing state ticket of Gretchen Whitmer & Josh Shapiro who have solid Democratic values but weren’t specifically involved in his administration it would be universally hailed as a masterstroke.

    Finally, it is not lost on the many Black voters with whom I’ve spoken directly that we would have NOTHING, not a right to vote, or to own property, or to get an education, or to sit at the same counter with other races for a meal—not one civil right whatsoever—if those who fought before us and FOR us had walked away from the fight because they didn’t like our odds, if they had resigned themselves to defeat because we were outnumbered, if they refused to put full weight and energy behind a candidate because they were flawed or weren’t aligned on every issue or would have to be carried across the finish line. WE, who only breathe a modicum of free air today because of the grit and determination and resilience and never-give-up overcoming spirit of our ancestors, are made in THAT mold. As our @VP often says—it has ALWAYS been a fight. The time is now to take the stance of those who are on the right side of history and know it. Those who want to leave the earth better for our children—in country where they are both safe and free.

    2024 is a turnout election. Period.

    Polls have been consistently unreliable. By wide margins.

    Democrats pull it together. Stop attacking your nominee and let’s help him win.

    Here’s what you should know about J.D. Vance and his extreme stances on abortion:

    ❌Supports a national abortion ban
    ❌Criticized exceptions for rape & incest
    ❌Said taking away a woman’s right to choose was “the first political issue” he cared about

    He is Trump’s MAGA Mini-Me.

None of this is squaring with the polling that has them deadlocked. Thanks for this survey I guess but carry-on. https://t.co/ewP61MZL4M
