George Clooney, et tu?

[XanaDUer2]

Calling for JRB to step aside. This, coupled with Pelosi, is giving me panic attack.

[BannonsLiver]

1. They're going to force him out

That’s been made clear today.

[LuckyCharms]

3. Yep. n/t

[jpug]

11. They've tried for nearly 2 weeks and it didn't work

So let them try their best (or worst) today.

Joe is solid as a rock.

He isn't going anywhere.

[Sympthsical]

14. There are few things in politics that surprise me

This one does a bit. I thought Monday's letter was at least coordinated with Democratic leadership, but it increasingly seems like this was the White House unilaterally issuing a party directive, and it seems like Congressional Dems did not care for it.

Biden said "Try me" and increasing numbers are replying, "Don't mind if I do."

Which . . . yeah. Did not entirely see that one coming. Not completely out of the blue, but didn't realize the bluff-calling card was in this deck.

2. Pelosi did not ask Joe to step aside. They are twisting her words.

She was on Jen Psaki right after the debate and made it very clear that she supported Joe Biden's candidacy. But, look at the header the Washington Post puts out:

Pelosi asks Biden to make decision on race, despite his decision he will stay.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/10/pelosi-biden-drop-out-democrats/

Unless she came out after that Psaki interview and changed her mind, the papers are twisting and propagandizing her words to achieve their own objectives.

16. Yes. It's up to Biden to decide.

And he has decided, so everyone shut the fuck up.

[Ursus Rex]

4. LOL, he's a BILLIONAIRE

.. he is NOT a regular ol' guy who just happens to have been in a couple movies here and there. If he doesn't want Trump, he should arrange for some acting coaches and spin doctors to help the Biden campaign.

[MyMission]

7. An ex-pat who lives in Italy and UK

I agree with you!
I wonder if his children even hold US citizenship!

[Srkdqltr]

5. Is he going to run???? He would be perfect!!! The only one who could do it!!!!

Kind of

[XanaDUer2]

8. That's kinda strong

I'm concerned hes saying JRB should step aside. I have no idea how influential his opinion is. My understanding is Jow says he's staying

[XanaDUer2]

9. Dana Bash and Andrea Mitchell

Started out with Democrats' "fear" and Mitchell looks almost happy. I'm turning it off. Oh and the Clooney thing.

[Efilroft Sul]

10. Yeah, if Democrats with money and influence could stop stepping on their dicks, that'd be greeeeeat...

[flamingdem]

13. Don't worry see my post: This is a revenge move. It's horse trading

Clooney wants to have a say about the middle East. Both Clooneys. Anti Bibi stuff.
Watch Clooney come around if he gets something he wants for his wife.

Clooney and his wife were upset with Biden about the ICC. Three weeks ago George Clooney publicly rebuked the Biden admin for rejecting his wife’s work on the ICC trying to jail Netanyahu as a war criminal.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/06/george-clooney-biden-criminal-court-israel/

Biden had sharply criticized a move by the International Criminal Court to issue warrants for Israeli leaders.

George Clooney called one of President Biden’s top aides last month to complain about the president’s criticism of the International Criminal Court’s action against Israeli leaders — a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on.

Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Biden’s denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word “outrageous.”

The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

15. FU Clooney

You are rich enough to go live in another country and not be affected by a second convicted felon term, the vast majority of us will be stuck here dealing with the affects of project 2025 and a crazed lunatic in the White House who has control of the nuclear codes.

Just like Jon Stewart who has enough FU money to leave the country and be safe. These rich pundits also have the money to escape.

The USA is on the verge of being destroyed. Wake up and stay the course with President Joe Biden and it’ll all work out when he’s re elected with a Democratic Senate and House !
