you told on yourself when you called it the "democrat party". why should i listen to a chaos agent?
to be honest, the 114 time race winner ditched him first.
biden won by almost 8 million(?) votes lst time. is that not overwhelming enough? just because most of the votes were concentrated in heavily democratic states will not change the fact that it's still going to be and always was going to be a battle in swing states, and there is not a ronald reagan 49 state win candidate out there.
how about you future senator schiff not contribute to the biden must step down media ushed bullshit story and do what the rest of the base of the party is doing and back your candidate?
how is the uk's prisoner rehab program? because i know that policy in the us would never work because our prisons are primarily for punishment and retribution and when people are let out they are left hanging in the wind in a society who treats them less than human waste.
trump runs on a law and order message.
frankly law and order is a bad authoritarian sounding phrase. law and justice is much more platable and less harsh.
what the media bandwagon is doing is similar to the plan trump had in his first term:
-
repeal the aca
-
develop a plan
-
implement the plan
except the time period between steps 1 and 3 could not just be years but could be DECADES. meanwhile, the aca is still repealed and people would suffer.
any plan that calls for removal that also doesn't simultaneously install a replacement is a bad plan. so far the only viable plan is for kamala to take over since she has the legal access to the campaign warchest and already has a ground infrastructure in place. and if kamala takes over biden immediately makes him an immediate lame duck as president since it would be signalling that he can't do the job now. and there is a lot more fantasizing of probable picks as a ticket that do not include kamala harris. which makes all of those fantasy tickets illogical.
this is not sticking with biden because we like him. it's about sticking with biden because making any kind of change to the ticket historically guarantees another trump term.
the republican party has ignored valid criticism of trump for 8 years. unlike biden, trump's valid criticism is far more serious than biden looking and sounding old for one night.
none of those candidates will get enough popular votes to win a state's electoral votes and 2 out of 3 aren't on enough ballots to total 270 votes. the only message a person who is on the left side of politics teaches the democratic party is that your vote isn't worth pursuing since you aren't going to vote for a democrat anyway. instead they will pursue the votes they have the possibility to get. often those people are much more centrist or right wing. you're taking yourself out of any potential influential position of influence.
this is a binary choice. the winner will either be trump or biden. any vote not for biden is an indirect vote for trump because it's not going towards the only other viable candidate. this is how our system works and it's far too late to change it for this year.
there are much better choices.
the problem is that none of them decided to primary the incumbent successful democratic party president.
so it's biden at the top of the ticket. if you didn't want biden to be the 2024 candidate, you should have worked harder to get another democrat nominated in 2020.
he's already decided.
he decided a week ago.
you backhandedly calling for him to drop out only fuels the bullshit media narrative that's not focused on trump's myriad of seriously disqualifying incidents OR project 2025.
there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.
i've always maintained this opinion when "the cloud" started being touted as being the future. and yet more corporations (including mine) are reliant on it. i mean sure, i can log in on my home computer and have some access to stuff as though i were physically at the office but that convenience ain't worth the headache if the main storage site crashes.
turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.
I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.
I think it was more like a literal handful of arizona gop state legislators realized how bad of a look not repealing this law would be for the state republicans up and down the ballot this year and took away a cudgel the state democratic party was going to hammer every republican on the ballot with.
you're going to get that when
a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and
b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.
these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don't believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he's been doing in gaza if the us government isn't actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.
akshually...
scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.
instead of threatening just do it already.
this is the problem with this republican party. they say they will do a whole bunch of shit and don't do any of it.

if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.
pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can't get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that's how I know he's guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don't really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he's guilty.
I'm just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.
President Joe Biden’s son pleaded not guilty to nine tax-related charges during his arraignment in January.
![Hunter Biden asks judge to dismiss tax charges, arguing that prosecutors bowed to political pressure](https://lemdro.id/pictrs/image/e3753c3e-a2c5-45ea-851e-adbace2ff1b3.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
this whole investigation was a textbook definition of a witch hunt. and now it's come to light that the entire basis of investigating hunter was from an fbi informant with close ties to russian counterintel. the same people who talked with rudy and the laptop.
hunter has a real good shot at winning a defamation suit against smirnov and rudy imo but I'm not a law talkin guy.
Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) unveiled a resolution Tuesday that declares former President Trump “did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” The…
![Gaetz, Stefanik offer resolution declaring Trump ‘did not engage in insurrection’](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f0cab5bb-600c-452d-ad6a-d26207aadf5a.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
... in other words gaetz and company are admitting (knowingly or unwittingly) that
- trump is an insurrecionist
- trump is very likely to lose at the supreme court in his colorado 14th amendment appeal hearing
- that the plain text reading of section 3 of the 14th amendment says congress can waive the condition (but only if 2/3 of both houses agree to waive the condition)
the funny thing is how when this passes the house, it won't be anywhere close to the 290 they need but they'll try to act as though it's binding. and they're doing this before the hearing, where the plaintiff's attorney and/or the colorado solicitor general can point out that since the house and senate have initiated resolutions declaring trump not an insurrectionist that the colorado supreme court ruling should hold since the congress has started the process of returning trump to the ballot.
and if I a non law talkin guy could see this and figure it out then so should the supreme court. especially if someone points that out to them.

does this mean I have to end my messages with #blessed now?
I've actually got 2 questions, one about l.w and one about lemmy in general.
-
I signed up yesterday and got an email to confirm my address but it's not working. I've used the user I created, my email, and the user that was in my email and it's not working. is it me or is it the server here at issue?
-
I've also got a mastodon account. how do I create a post on any sub straight from there and not through a lemmy instance?
