I think Hasan Piker was saying this, but it feels like a biblical plague has targeted the Whitehouse and everyone inside.

Divine justice!

I was going to say I very much like the Masque of the Red Death feel of all this. Hasn’t been much poetry to anything in the world for a while so it feels like it’s all coming up at once

edit: especially the rushed court nomination ā€œcelebrationā€ being the literal superspreader event, like that’s some Icarus and the sun shit

In less than 7 days Trump has spoken about ā€˜critical race theory’, caught Covid, and then his team have appropriated ā€˜lived experiences’ discourse to say that Biden was unqualified to speak on the pandemic.

I’m constantly doing the Martin Freeman/ John Krasinski look to camera right now

At this point, does he leave office without pressing the big red button?

i don’t know if it’s because i’m just paying closer attention now, but post-covid, election-soon trump seems way more insane than usual.

like if he just came out and tweeted today saying biden runs a child trafficking ring i wouldn’t be surprised.

A lot of people are theorizing the steroids are making him act a bit crazier than usual.

When he said he’s felt the best he has in 20 years my immediate reaction was ā€œwell ofc you are you’re hopped up on morphine and steroids lolā€

The specter of Reagan’s political council continues to haunt us forever.

Gotta love decrepit wispy-skinned ghosts of shitstains past verbally scratching out the phrase ā€œus rich peopleā€ and scribbling ā€œeconomyā€ over it running in the highest positions of real influence.

the crypt keeper himself scratching ā€˜deficit’ in a bench in the halls of Congress while Nancy Pelosi tuts disapprovingly as she for votes for mega austerity by doing the wakanda salute

This feels like a classic, conventional, ā€˜back to normal’ debate where neither candidate answers the fucking question.

Interesting…

Maybe someone at the town hall will as Biden why he loves fracking so much.

Trump got played. He was clearly hoping that Biden would back out and he could talk shit about him being afraid to debate. Since the debate commission took it out of his hands, now he’s got nothing.

uggghhh

I hate the democrats so so so so so fucking much.

They accepted defeat real fast. I bet a few vote to confirm too, like that useless fuck Joe Manchin.

Yet another in a long line of blaring sirens telling everyone that Democrats do not give a single shit about you or anything beyond holding on to their own power and capital. I would go into a ā€œhope this breaks people out of their go out and voteā€ fever pitch. But I’m sure this will just get twisted into the same playing 5D chess tactics mindset that somehow a group of the most rich and powerful people in American politics can’t fucking do anything.

Get involved locally, donate to a go fund me. Community action, take care of each other.

Makes me wonder if they secretly hope Roe v Wade is overturned so they can use that as a driving force to boost their moral platform for like fifty years and break Republican interest.

I’ll never put any stupid losing strategy past them.

Maybe this is real galaxy brain here, but does the democratic party (meaning leadership) fundamentally care about winning over raising money? Sure they would like to have all three chambers of government, but is their goal to govern and put forward their vision of what america should be or to make sure that they are able to raise obscene amounts of money? I would argue all evidence points to the latter.
