Knew Biden would get blamed for the Hamas attack

Back in October the moment I heard the news that Hamas had attacked Israel that Biden would get blamed. And that it would drag him down politically.

That's because America is expected to support Israel unconditionally. And I knew Netanyahu would take out his anger by trying to wipe Gaza off the map and equate Hamas with all Palestinians.

Biden has been in a no win situation since the war started. Just like every President before him who's tried to bring peace to the middle east. Carter, Clinton and Obama tried to negotiate a 2 state solution but hardliners like Netanyahu blocked it.

So now if Biden cuts off military aid to Israel he'll be seen as betraying one of our allies.

Bottom line is Netanyahu isn't going to stop what he's doing. He's scared of losing power and being held responsible for ignoring warnings about the Hamas attack. He doesn't care if he brings down Biden's presidency. He prefers Trump who would help him "finish the job." Meaning an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Gaza strip.

Personally I think Biden should cut Netanyahu loose. Separate him from Israel. It's definitely not a sustainable arrangement. The longer it goes on the more support Biden is going to lose here at home.

All because Netanyahu was too preoccupied with changing the courts so he could stay out of prison instead of keeping Israel safe from it's enemies.

Democrats have the worst luck.

Trump & RFK Jr's support is sad

The fact that many Americans are actually supporting Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr. to be the next President of the United States is sad. It shows the power of name recognition and celebrity.

Bizarrely millions of voters still equate the name "Trump" with "success." Despite 8 years of him showing he's an absolute failure.

RFK Jr's support is somewhat easier to understand since his father was a great man and many people love the last name Kennedy. However he's been in the public eye long enough and given enough speeches & interviews that voters have to be aware he's nothing like his father and is an embarrassment to the Kennedy name.

It's amazing people actually donate money to these 2 wealthy trust fund man babies. And that anyone thinks either should become leader of the free world proves something is intellectually broken in our country. I wouldn't trust either to be mayor of a small city much less POTUS.

There's no stopping this orange POS

He's been in our faces every day for the last 9 years.

The "Mexican rapists" speech didn't sink him.
The Access Hollywood didn't sink him.
The popular vote in 2016 didn't sink him.

Starting to realize there's no removing this orange stain from our politics. He's never going away.

You can't prosecute him, impeach him, bankrupt him or vote him out. And there's no separating his supporters from his vice grip.

He's like an STD or Wile E Coyote. And his entire identity is playing the victim. Meanwhile he's gotten away with his criminally and corruption for 5 decades.

Lastly I know his MAGA cult loves the fact Trump drives liberals like myself nuts.
They're just as abhorrent. And have no excuse for their willful ignorance.

Grateful every day Biden is President

It's easy to feel doom and gloom about the Trump getting the Republican nomination, the scary polls and media's obsession with Biden's age

Fortunately the election isn't for 8 months. Personally I'm going to appreciate every single day Joe Biden is President. And hope that the Americans snap out of their delusion that setting the clocks back to 2020 and re-electing Trump is a good idea.

The mood right now reminds me of the 10 months before the 2022 midterms. When the legacy media, political pundits, arrogant Republicans and pollsters were convinced their would be a red wave and that MAGA candidates would dominate every election.

The media has been salivating over a potential Biden vs Trump rematch ever since inauguration day 2021. Now they've got one. And as much as they act like Trump is already President-In-Waiting and that the November election is a mere hiccup on his inevitable return to the White House this race ain't over yet.

The campaign begins now. In 8 months we get another opportunity to turn out and vote against this corrupt sociopath and his anti-democratic death cult.

It's going to be a marathon not a sprint. But we can definitely rally the troops once again and win big.

Americans want a miracle worker not a president

Most Americans have a delusional view of what a President can do to solve our country's problems and prevent new ones.

Voters want a miracle worker not a President. Someone who will waive a magic wand and eliminate economic inequality, stop climate change, secure the border, stop mass shootings and bring peace to the world.

Trump promises to fix everything without giving specifics. Nevermind the fact he had 4 years to solve all those problems and didn’t. His followers want easy answers to complex problems. Trump voters aren't in crisis. They're spoiled and impatient.

At this point unless Biden is able to unilaterally eliminate all student debt, stop Netanyahu and Putin from waging endless war and build a 200 foot wall across the southern border 60% of the country is going to disapprove of him.

They think Trump will fix everything. When in reality he'll create more problems in their lives than they can possibly imagine. A second Trump administration will make 2020 look the golden age.

Hopefully the electorate wakes up to that reality before November. If not they'll be whining a year from now, "President Trump promised to make America perfect and hasn't. Let's impeach him or vote him out."

Yeah good luck with that. If he gets back in the White House he's never leaving. And congress and the courts won't even try to stop him.

I'll never get used to Trump winning elections

Even after 8 years I still experience shock and disbelief every time Donald Trump wins a primary or caucus.

As soon as I see a headline starting with, "Donald Trump wins..." I instantly feel disgusted wirh the people that voted for him and nauseous about the possibility of him becoming President.

November 9th, 2016 when Trump won the electoral college was one of the worst nights of my life. And the day Joe Biden officially won the Presidency in 2020 was one of my best.

The idea of Trump winning the general election and then trying to survive another 4 years of his cruelty and incompetence is unimaginable. And even having to think about that possibility for the next 8 months sucks.

And MAGA voters wonder why most people despise and ridicule them. The unnecessary trauma they've put America and our allies through since 2015 is the reason why.

They buy $400 shoes and GoFund him

These Trumpanzees have been complaining non-stop for 3 years about how expensive groceries are.

Meanwhile they're lining up in droves to buy Trump's $400 gold shoes and donate thousands of dollars to a gofund me account in his name.

They continue to financially support a supposed billionaire while whining about the price of gas and eggs.

We're living in bizarro times.

The one upside to our recent bad news

The one upside to Biden's rough news week is that
the majority of Americans aren't paying attention to politics and deliberately try to avoid watching the news.

And it's still 9 months from the general election which factoring in the media's 10 second attention span is a lifetime.

The Hur report definitely sucked and the headlines have been brutal. However most Americans won't really focus on the general election until the fall. We're just lucky Hur didn't drop that report in October.

What would Trump have to get canceled?

What would Trump actually have to do or say to lose his supporters and end his political career?

My feeling is at this point short of exposing himself onstage or strangling a crying baby nothing he does or says will make his base stop voting for him and sending him money.

Apparently the unwritten rule in American politics since 2016 is that every elected official needs to obey the law, respect norms and speak and act in an appropriate fashion... except for Donald Trump. He gets a free pass.

Basically "if Trump does something bad it doesn't count. Because he's too stupid to know the difference between right and wrong."

Honestly if he had a stroke and became incapacitated he'd probably still get votes. And if he dropped dead his cult probably wouldn't believe it.

Shame Americans don't watch Frontline

It's a shame most Americans don't watch PBS Frontline and will never watch their excellent episode from last night on the prosecution of Donald Trump. The creators even admit Trump supporters didn't watch a minute of the January 6th hearings.

Any rational person who views the special will realize within 30 minutes that Donald Trump is completely crazy and surrounds with people who are even crazier. And that he belongs nowhere near the White House.

Americans avoidance of anything political and ignorance of history may very well get Trump re-elected. Even nominating this malignant narcissist for President again is dangerous. If he loses he won't admit it and will do everything possible to overturn the results.

If America does fall into a Trump dictatorship voters won't be able to claim they weren't warned.
