President Joe Biden is arguing that “there is something dangerous happening in America” as he revives his warnings that Donald Trump and his allies represent an existential threat to the country’s democratic institutions.

There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement,” Biden says in excerpts of the speech Thursday in Arizona, released in advance by the White House, referring Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

Although voting in the 2024 Republican primary doesn’t begin for months, Biden’s focus reflects Trump’s status as the undisputed frontrunner for his party’s nomination despite facing four indictments, two of them related to his attempts to overturn Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

    Um, what? You think Biden is a “lost nursing home patient”?

    Personally, I’ve been loving the return to some semblance of stewardship after the dumpster fire that was donnie’s maladminstration. Even if Biden could not complete his second term for some reason, so what? There is a line of succession.

      The US and the world would be in far better shape with Biden’s literal tombstone sitting in the Oval Office versus the writhing mass of a still living Trump.

      I would vote for Biden over any of these chuckle fucks even if he were 100 years old and in the hospital for COVID, plague, and multiple snake bites. If is ridiculous that this age thing is even discussed. I chalk it up to all the 24/7 news channels needing something to talk about.

      Biden, fuckhead dipshit Trump, Feinstein (rip I guess?), Chuck Grassley, Maxine Waters to name a few. Yes.

      I understand what you mean and I do agree, but only ever having the two options of:

      • literal fascism
      • identity politics with absolutely no legislative backing

      gets really tiring. It also really amazes me how so many people here are so deep in the sauce of bipartisanship that they forget that, unless it’s republicans forcing through legislation, barely anything gets done. Biden lied about so many things to get elected. Everyone before him did too, everyone after will as well unless real change happens.

      I’m tired of choosing between fascism and diet caffeine free liberalism.

        That, ironically enough, is why voter turnout is incredibly shitty these days and why independent counts are growing.

        I just wonder how long it’ll be before it’s enough of a shift to matter.
