Two days and the shine has worn off of President Not Trump. If Biden is going to spend four years pandering to Republicans who did fuck all during their time in power and enabled a fascist demagogue because he was in their party, I’m taking my vote back.
Enjoy today. Celebrate today. Take a breather today.
But do not let today become the start of complacency. Let today be what starts a fire for years to come to change the world into a better place.
Let’s dedicate all of the energy we used resisting Trump’s bigoted rhetoric and harmful policies to keeping Biden accountable for making decisions that move us forward.
Alabama’s Republican state senate just passed a law to ban abortion (even in cases of rape and incest). THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
P.S. AOC’s tweet mentions that abortion would become a felony under this bill. As of now, it would make it illegal for doctors to perform the procedure, and nothing has been said about making it a felony for the women patients who undergo the procedure. Doctors could face up to 99 years in prison for helping their patients terminate unwanted or unviable pregnancies.
STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING: Joe Biden has adopted an adorable shelter dog
The former vice president adopted a German shepherd named Major from the Delaware Humane Association
The animal shelter posted these sweet pics on Instagram along with the caption “Today is Major’s lucky day! Not only did Major find his forever home, but he got adopted by Vice President Joe Biden & Dr. Jill Biden! The Bidens have gotten to know Major while fostering him and are now ready to make the adoption official. Best of luck and thank you for being one of our Friends for life! ”
Major came from a litter of puppies that someone had surrendered to the shelter who were “not doing well at all.” After the shelter posted about the pups on social media, the former vice president “caught wind of them and reached out immediately.”
The shit is seriously hitting the fan, and democrats are most likely panicking.
Let’s just unpack this shit storm: Hunter Biden relinquished the rights to everything on his laptop after signing a 90 day repair shop agreement that if not picked up in 90 days … he no longer owned the computer or its content. You tell me how stupid this man is because I don’t have the words. That means that everything on that computer can go public. And it probably will.
I’m hearing that the repairman in question made four copies of the hard drive. He gave two to friends in the event of his death. He called the FBI and handed it over to them in December 2019. The contents of the laptop could have stopped the Trump’s impeachment process dead in its tracks, but nothing came of the FBI’s handling of Hunter’s laptop.
Democrats had to know about its existence, because someone at the FBI probably told them. I’m willing to bet that last January’s Impeachment was probably a ruse designed to get them to use this evidence to defend the President. If the democrats feared the GOP had this, then they wanted Trump to fire off his rounds early so it wouldn’t be as impactful in the election. Doing that just wasn’t necessary because we all knew this debacle would be DOA in the Senate.
The repairman waited until May to contact other US gov officials and only Rudy Giuliani’s office replied. Giuliani then vetted the contents on the laptop with lawyers and sat on it until this week. NY Post began revealing the contents of the laptop to the public earlier this week causing a major internet censorship blackout. Heads of Twitter and Facebook will be answering why that happened next week. During that day next week, Congress will have public hearings where all they’ll be talking about is Hunter Biden, the New York Post, and corrupt leftist censors. They’ll spend the whole day bashing Joe Biden, and it will all be on the taxpayer’s dime. Fucking brilliant.
This is 2020′s October surprise and the fun is just starting. It’s ugly, and there will probably be some form of retaliation. Yet this is about as ugly as it gets, and from what I’m hearing, it’s gonna get uglier.
The Democrat had four years to find a candidate and build a platform around him or her in order to defeat Trump. Four fucking years, and this is the best they could come up with? I am not impressed. Once again, the democrats chose to roll the dice with someone who had these kind of skeletons in their closet rather than take a chance on a democratic socialist. Democrats will have no one to blame but themselves if Trump is reelected.
This year has taken so many strange turns, I am excited and frightened simultaneously. Let’s see how deep this rabbit hole goes…
I swear to god, people better not vote for Kanye West on Nov 3rd.
It’s a joke, voting for him would be a joke. The fate of our country for the next 4 years would be based off people voting for a goddamn celebrity. (Again)
GEORGIA! Kentucky wasn’t able to remove McConnell from Congress but YOU can take away his power. If you’re 18 by 1/5/21, you can register to vote to partake in the runoffs.
You know that guy Jake Angeli from the storming of the capitol?
This guy? Yeah?
I think he’s a knobhead but his look is pretty sick. Well look at all his tattoos. They all have a Norse mythology theme, certainly the ones over his heart ie ‘paganism’.
How much of a radical Christian can you be with tattoos to another religion on full display? It just seems oddly inconsistent. ♂️
Let me preface this by saying that I totally understand the reasons people don’t want to vote for Biden. I’m not thrilled with him as a candidate either. Of all the options we had, he was my least favorite by a mile. (And yes, I support investigating allegations of sexual assault no matter what.) You don’t need to explain to me why you’re not voting for him – I get it.
I also understand why people are frustrated by centrism over progressivism. How frustrated people are that we’re getting more of the same when we desperately need and want change. I loathe picking the lesser of two evils in every election. You don’t need to explain that to me either.
I get it. I do. I’m tired of it. I’m exhausted by it. I don’t like being pushed to vote for a candidate I don’t want. Never have, never will. I want to actually be excited about a candidate and optimistic that things will change when they’re in office.
But I will vote for Biden because the stakes are extraordinarily high this time.
To put it succinctly, electing Biden won’t bring the changes I want, but allowing Trump to get reelected will mean four years of allowing things to get so much worse, the changes I want will be vastly overshadowed by even greater problems.
The damage Trump has, in one not-yet-complete term, done to our country, to our government, to our standing in the world, to our environment, to our economy – all of that will already take generations to undo. We can’t handle four more years, especially without Trump concerning himself with being reelected. We definitely can’t weather another crisis like coronavirus under his “leadership.”
I want universal healthcare. Trump’s administration is aggressively working to undermine the ACA and give insurance companies more power to cover fewer people.
I want a robust and well-funded public education system. DeVos is destroying what we already have, piece by piece.
I want us to move toward green energy and reduced carbon emissions. Trump is actively repealing our existing environmental regulations.
Will Biden improve healthcare, education, or environmental protections? Doubtful. But right now, our choice is between someone who will maintain the abysmal status quo and someone who will aggressively and unapologetically make things objectively - and maybe irreversibly - worse. Trump has demonstrated time and again that the only thing he can consistently be relied upon to do is the wrong thing.
So no, I’m not excited about Biden. I don’t like Biden. When this is all over, I am 100% onboard with burning the Democratic party to the ground and rebuilding something progressive.
But right now, regardless of my feelings on the issue, there will be two nominees on the ballot: Biden and Trump.
Everyone keeps saying this will be a repeat of previous elections where a “meh” centrist lost, but the stakes weren’t nearly as high in those elections. People weren’t nearly as aware of and involved in politics because things weren’t such an unmitigated disaster. The opponents weren’t nearly as unapologetic in their willingness to destroy our country’s institutions, pick fights with other nations, etc. They at least TRIED to sound like they cared about doing right by this country.
“Biden will lose! There’s no way he can win!” That, my friends, is what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. Biden can win IF WE VOTE FOR HIM.
You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to be even a little bit happy about it. You don’t have to believe in a two-party system, in primaries, in anything that went into selecting the nominee. I agree with you!
But the fact is, at the end of the day, we have two options.
We can elect an adult who has a fighting chance of being reasonable, accepting oversight, engaging in negotiations, demonstrating a shred of empathy, and at the very least behaving like an adult.
Or we can have 4 more years of disaster at the hands of Trump, and I’ve studied history for too long to believe our country will be recognizable after that, assuming it survives at all. Trump has all the hallmarks of someone who wants to be a dictator, and he’s eroding the checks and balances fast enough that he might get what he wants.
That is why I will, despite not being happy about it, vote for Biden, and I hope you will too.
