THERE'S HOPE! Sudden Bold Progressive Shift In Biden Campaign Strategy
Hope spreads as Biden addresses vast income disparity, lack of health insurance and far ranging reforms to help families, all financed by tax hikes on billionaire class!
HAH, GOTCHYA! Of Course Biden & Democrats Aren’t Going To Ditch Their Loser Pro-War Corporate-Coddling Strategy
Is there something to fear with a second Trump presidency? Of course. And it would be so easy for the Democrats to send pretentious Donald waddling off to Mar-a-lago without kicking him off state ballots or spinning up another corruption charge.

Okay, okay, I know that was mean to get your hopes up like that. But after recent interactions with “lesser-of-two-evils” Democratic Party drones I couldn’t resist. The bitter truth is, as “Genocide” Joe Biden’s cringey red, white and blue Valley Forge campaign kick-off high school drama class performance confirmed, the dems are still down with their threadbare “Trump-Bad-Genocide-Joe-Good” strategy. (See, “Bomb-Dropping Mass Murderer Urps Up Every Myth, Lie & Bromide Imaginable About 'Merican De'mock'racy”)
As the 2017 date of the above cartoon done for an earlier website confirms, the democrats’ simplistic, issue-evading, “good-guy/bad-guy”, ragged “lesser-of-two-evils” playbook is more of the same back-of-the-fridge leftover campaign oatmeal. In the midst of multiple converging domestic and international crises — including a bloody U.S.-armed and funded genocide — Democratic National Committee “same-old-same-old” neoliberal corporate betrayal couldn’t be a better bad plan to assure defeat and party irrelevance.
Return on investment
And this is happening as “I am a Zionist” Joe is very likely to trip — or bumble — his way into yet another disastrous Middle east war. When Biden’s bloody buddy “Bibi” Netanyahu gives him the call, Biden will bow and launch us off on another doomed-to-fail immoral, useless war. After all, Israeli lobbying groups like the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC) have invested over $4 million into Biden’s career, making him the most corrupted Zionist-owned drone in the U.S. government. That price tag is almost twice what they have invested on the next-highest bought Israeli asset, corrupt Sen. Robert “Gold Bar” Menendez (D-NJ).
As life for average Americans becomes more of a grind and many in yet another generation come of age with no health insurance, decent wages, opportunity for a decent retirement, no chance of owning a home or escaping crippling school debt, the best the Democrats can come up with is a faded rerun of “Fear of the Orange Man”.
Is there something to fear with a second Trump presidency? Of course. And it would be so easy for the Democrats to send pretentious Donald waddling off to Mar-a-lago without kicking him off state ballots or spinning up another corruption charge. All the democrats have to do is honestly represent and fight for the needs of the American people. You know, borrow a page or two from FDR, the democrat who was elected president four times, despite being outspent 10-to-1. You know, the guy today’s democrats never, ever mention.
But as Biden’s brittle, vacuous Valley Forge July 4th set design and hollow, burped up platitudes of patriotism displayed, the campaign script is gonna be a rerun of 2016 and 2020. No matter it has as much appeal as a rerun of a bad 1960s Netflix Boomer comedy. And when it becomes clear the Biden barge is about to capsize, that’s when Bibi will make the call and the military contractors who call the shots — both figurative and literal — in this sad mockery of democracy, pop the champagne bottles and your kid gets a one-way government-paid tour of the Middle East.
Matt Taibbi At Iowa Rally: Donald Trump, America's Comic
“If they can choose who can be on the ballot, who can’t, what’s the point of us voting?”

SIOUX CENTER, IA — You know Donald Trump is feeling good when he moves into Triumph the Insult Comic President mode, early in a speech. In Iowa Friday, ten days before Americans officially start voting for the man, Trump was a violin short of Henny Youngman. He had everything working.
On Nikki Haley: “Birdbrain… Does not have what it takes... She’s a globalist. She loves the globe.” He contorted his mouth to an O for “globe,” pronouncing it like Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
On the former GOP House Speaker: “Remember Paul Ryan, wheelchair-off-a-cliff?” Trump asked. “Remember this guy?” He mentioned Ryan joining the board of Fox, quipping, “No wonder Fox has changed.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for a while the latest in the ignominious Jeb-Kasich-Rubio line of not-Trump Republicans falsely hyped as contenders by wishcasting pundits, is no longer a serious poll threat, having been displaced by Haley in recent weeks. Trump crawled up his pipe anyway (the langorous, Wrestlmania-style gloat over an opponent’s demise has been a stump feature since Trump’s first speeches).
“I got him elected,” Trump grinned. “He went up like a rocket ship as soon as I pressed that little button.” He pantomimed pressing a Tweet button. “Now it’s Truth. Truth is the best, right? But is everybody on Truth? I hope Truth is the one. That’s the one. But at that time there was no Truth… I tweeted a little statement and he went up like a rocket ship… He was dead. He was going to leave the race to winning the race just with one little press of a button. It’s an amazing thing, isn’t it?”
Holding to tradition Trump kept calling him “DeSanctis,” explaining academically that this was the proper abbreviated form of the full name “Governor Ron DeSanctimonious.” How insistent is he? When a fan tried to yell out, “Ron De-Snooze-fest!” Trump cut him off.
“It’s Ron DeSanctimonious, actually,” he deadpanned.
For déjà vu enthusiasts, we’re reliving a key mathematical constant of the Trump experience, the last-minute flurry of articles about how somebody in the GOP slate really has a shot to knock him off this time. Not that it couldn’t happen, but these articles tend to written in the tone of children’s letters to Santa, and some of the crazier themes (“Marcomentum” is an all-time favorite) are classics of bad-analysis genre. Mother Jones just went with “Haley Surges” (she’s within 13 points in New Hampshire, or 4 according to some!). Newsweek said Haley is “Hot on Trump’s Heels,” while the New York Times asked, “Could Nikki Haley Actually Do it?”Possible, I guess. But but more likely not really:
Trump in Sioux Center went over a lot of material I’d seen before, though I hadn’t caught the “Crooked Joe searching for the exit” impersonation live. It’s another stump staple that’s been evolving for at least the last half-year and, look, it’s funny. It just is. In part this is because Biden is funny, a physical comedy wonder, unfortunately just not on purpose. It started with this last June 1st…
“He can be more or less angry or incoherent, he’ll say more or fewer things an Ivy League graduate would find objectionable, misogynistic, or obscene, but the constant from the start has been Trump’s dedication to not giving a fuck — there’s no other way to put it in English — and institutional America’s equally hard-headed determination to reward him by overreacting.”
