    @astros123 loves playing the role of Biden dog and never wastes time slobbering over his droopy nuts.

    Bidem unphased by creeping out a toddler? Perfectly normal for an old man to do that! YOU'RE DA PROBLEM!

    I have kids, and I'm okay with him publicly and playfully nipping at my younger ones. I suppose it's influenced by cultural perspectives and how I personally perceive him – not as someone menacing, threatening, or abusive in that specific action, as opposed to how you might perceive him.

    I go a bit beyond unprofessional. The last thing I want to hear is anyone, be it representing the admin, the POTUS, or the POTUS himself, saying the US military is fighting on his admin or his behalf. With that said, as I mentioned earlier, I think it's a mistake, and if it's not, she should resign.

    Bernie Sanders has some suggestions for a Second-Term Bidenomics

    He has to make a compelling case for economic policies that will palpably benefit tens of millions of Americans, and that Republican candidates won’t support.
    When Biden delivers his State of the Union address on March 7, we’ll hear many such particulars:
    • negotiating down the prices of way more than ten prescription drugs, and not just for Medicare recipients; further measures to restrict or abolish junk fees;
    • expanding the Child Tax Credit beyond what the proposal currently in the works in Congress would do; renewing the battle for affordable child care; and
    • shoring up long-term funding for Social Security.
    The way to finance those latter three and other policies that American voters would welcome, Biden will surely say, requires raising taxes on the rich and corporations,
    which every poll taken in at least the past decade shows to be off-the-charts popular.​

    Given how many times OKeefe has been proven to be a fraud it’s still amazing to see people continue to repost or trust stuff he posts.

    Consider the people that are still posting it, though. Makes it far less amazing that they'd still fall for his crap.

    Isn't the sad part that @AroundTheWorld is rich exec who should know better? It's the sad reality that the entire right wing ecosystem does an amazing job at brainwashing their people that it even works on rich educated folks.

    It's sad

    Biden has managed to piss off the two most liberal cities in the USA in Chicago and NY with the border issues.

    Going to be laughable if he won a re-election.

    Would be clear that the US is basically turning in to Venezuela.

    I highly doubt NYC and Chicago won’t vote overwhelmingly for Biden.

    20% of the electorate are paying close attention to the 2024 elections. We can likely conclude that 20% voters who respond to polls are similarly engaged.

    ‘That’s crazy’: Swing-state voters aghast to learn of Trump’s immunity claim

    New focus groups of potential swing voters conducted in three critical battleground states—Georgia, Wisconsin, and Nevada—demonstrate the extent to which many voters still haven’t grasped Donald Trump’s sweeping legal liabilities or his belief he’s immune from prosecution.

    The groups, conducted by GBAO for Navigator Research, consisted of soft partisans and independents who don't necessarily prioritize democracy as a top issue but are concerned the country could experience another event like the violent Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. In other words, these voters seem generally grounded in reality, and most take the Jan. 6 insurrection seriously, but they don't lie awake at night fretting over democracy's demise.

    The most illuminating aspect of the focus groups was how little voters with this profile know about Trump's legal entanglements and, particularly, his authoritarian push for absolute immunity. In fact, these voters seem aghast as they discover in real time that Trump thinks presidents should be immune from prosecution for actions done while in office.

    The moderator informs them of Trump’s argument that every president should have immunity for "everything they do as president," unless they are impeached and convicted by Congress. "What do you think of that?" asked the moderator.

    “It's ridiculous," responded an independent Wisconsin woman who leans Republican. "So he's saying if he killed somebody, he'd be immune.”

    “Yeah, I think that's crazy too. That's too much power," said a male Georgia independent who leans Republican.

    A Nevada woman, identified as a weak Democrat, grew incredulous at Trump's assertion. “No matter what? So a president could kill somebody, and they should have immunity?" she said. "That's crazy."

    The responses lay bare the fact that many voters have no idea that Trump regularly posts on Truth Social, in all caps, things along the lines of: "A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION."

    Trump's latest such post, on Jan. 27, stated, "IF IMMUNITY IS NOT GRANTED TO A PRESIDENT, EVERY PRESIDENT THAT LEAVES OFFICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED BY THE OPPOSING PARTY."

    If the voters in the focus groups were surprised by Trump's argument, imagine if they learned he pushes out an all-caps tweet on the matter at least once a week.

    Some participants were similarly thrown by the extent of Trump's legal trouble when they learned he is "facing 91 felony indictments."

    "Jesus Christ," responded a Nevada woman who's a weak Democrat.

    "It certainly is shocking to think that," replied a male Wisconsin independent who leans Republican. "[T]his is crazy.”

    Some participants seemed more engaged with Trump’s legal battles, however. One Nevada woman described as an independent who leans Democratic said, “I mean, we could go through the list of things that he went through trial for, and if I'm not wrong, I believe it's anywhere from taxes to fraud, things like that.”

    Still, none of the participants quoted in Navigator’s report mentioned Trump being indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 election—arguably his most egregious violation as president.

    The takeaway from these focus groups is that Democrats shouldn't take for granted even basic knowledge about Trump's legal challenges and his autocratic impulses. Many voters still don't know the severity of Trump's wide-ranging criminal indictments, and they have no idea the vigor with which he is claiming to be above the law.

    UPDATE: Breaking News!!

    Biden is STILL not a joke, and I will still vote for him over the other guy (who has been found liable for sexual assault, indicted on 91 counts, and openly is campaigning on become a dictator).
