Bulwark Founder Sarah Longwell and former Republican operative and host of the ‪@bulwarkmedia‬ podcast Tim Miller are worried about a dangerous potential second term of Donald Trump. The first step for Joe Biden defeating Trump? Have a good showing in this week's coming debate. Tim has prepped Presidential candidates to face Trump and shares his insight. And what messages should President Biden hit on during the debate? Sarah hosts The Focus Group podcast and shares what voters are looking for this November. Joe Biden has a LOT of policies that poll extremely well. So how does he take that message to the American people?
Listen to Tim and Sarah's podcast and read the great work at www.TheBulwark.com

Ya know, not for anything, but I am so sick and tired of folks harping on about President Biden appearing old and the way he walks. I have heard or read somewhere that he has issues with back pain. I'm 60+ and have low back pain; there are days when I walk JUST LIKE HIM because my back hurts and I am stiff when I first get out of a chair. It does not make me incompetent. It means that I need to move more and do some yoga. For Christ's sake, the man is the president of the US--that job will age anyone in 4 years. Clinton went into office with dark hair and came out with grey hair, as did Mr. Obama. 45 was the same color because he has stock in orange dye. I'd vote for Joe Biden if he was a corpse in a heartbeat before ever voting for a republican--don't care who it is at this point because they are all a**holes. And if voters are more concerned about a president's age than they are with the other guy leading the US to fascism and dictatorship, then America has more serious problems to worry about...just sayin'...

ask about it anyway. Hunter Biden has no influence on policy, and tbh the way Joe's treated the situation his son's in, proves that. Let's be real it was a bullshit charge that shouldnt have been brought, its rarely charged and there was no aggravating factor besides "Presidents son.Republican Prosecutor who spent years and wasted a ton of money investigating a guy with a mental health problem but not a serial crime problem" The story about Hunter Biden changed like 500 times since its original appearance in 2020, and none of it made it any more credible. I'm sure that jury didn't like the fact that they had to basically convict him on a crime that's essentially only damaging to Hunter himself, no one else was harmed, but I can understand why they would, and I'm fine with it regardless of my feelings. Jared on the other hand, secretary of everything and somehow also nothing during the Trump kleptocracy, has never once answered a single freaking question about that dubious payment. The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the rotten tree that his rotten apple wife fell from also.

KLANocracy - -- New Audit Finds 7.1 Million Visa Applicants Not Interviewed FAIR Take | July 2024 Last week, the Homeland Security Inspector General (IG) issued a formal alert to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), informing the agency of an “urgent issue” requiring immediate attention. In its alert, the IG reported that 7.1 million foreign nationals were granted visas, and presumably allowed entry, even though government officials had not interviewed the aliens, and in some cases, had not even collected fingerprints. The report highlighted information sharing gaps that are reminiscent of errors made leading up to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

I used to know a gay conservative republican. He was against gay marriage and held all the conservative opinions on taxes, spending, social programs, etc. I wish I could make it make sense but I think the social contradictions (eg gay marriage) just kind of go with the rest of the tent. He wasn't an extreme conservative, and he would poke at appropriate contradictions/problems with the progressive platforms and actions, but I think a lot of it was just where he was raised and by whom. His partner was the flamboyant and liberal type. I would be more confused by someone who didn't start out conservative migrating to that position.

@@lubamordkovich4077 the fact that you can't name one tells me this question is dishonest, but lets start with the fact that Trump stopped pretending he was President even though the vaccines were ready to be distributed, shortly after he lost the election. I say pretending he was President because while he was officially the President, he spent most of his time doing either nothing, or counter productive things. If you were against the vaccine, then oh well, I suppose you thought it was better when the country was under constant chaos in 2020 because Trump was so concerned with winning the next election, but not concerned with doing things that would have won him that election. Trump had a full 2 months to do something with the vaccines he actually had a hand in getting produced pretty quickly, the best thing he did as president, and he set up 0 distribution infrastructure, and to boot because his followers cant think for themselves, many of them are now dead because they refused to believe that the vaccine worked. That alone should be enough of an achievement, though there are many others, like finally ending our occupation of Afghanistan, keeping NATO united against Russia, presiding over the best recovery from the Pandemic in the world, by all the metrics that one would score any other candidate on. The economy is doing fine besides higher food prices and housing , which is a direct result of corporate malpheasance and easily verifiable. Economic metrics those two things not withstanding, are as good as they can be. What achievements did Trump have? Tangible achievements. I can name 3 for sure, adding trillions to the deficit through his tax cuts which were just a corporate bribe and set the stage for them to take over the housing market in 2021/2022 when we were still dealing with covid, mainly because stubborn fools listened to the liars who cast doubt on the vaccine. The other great achievements of his was conspiring to steal the election in a multi-faceted conspiracy that thankfully failed on all of the components, and appointing 3 supreme court justices who took away rights to normal healthcare for women. A C section is considered an abortion, and is a very common procedure to GIVE birth, not to abort the baby. But Republicans just lie about this because their base isn't smart enough to investigate their claims. He also traumatized migrants, who we actually rely on to do the jobs that no american wants to do, but Republicans who know this just keep using it as a political hammer. The Republican party is regressive, illogical, totally full of shit, and supportive of the worst traits of Americans.

On healthcare, not only did Trump try to appeal the ACA, he almost did, right? Didn’t Senator McCain cast the deciding vote, upon having to leave his cancer treatment to travel to DC so he could do so? Biden should hammer Trump on that point. Trump will say he has a beautiful replacement for ACA but then Biden should say that is a lie. Trump could have done that when he had the trifecta, but he didn’t.

@@Laura-il5lo ya got no evidence again - -- “The data is clear: in its fourth year, the Biden administration’s enforcement of oil sanctions has significantly deteriorated. This substantial sanctions relief for the radical Islamist regime in Tehran is driven by domestic politics in the election year rather than U.S. national interests.” - Saeed Ghasseminejad, FDD Senior Iran and Financial Economics Advisor “The Biden administration’s lack of sanctions enforcement has further emboldened the Islamic Republic in its efforts to suppress dissident voices domestically and expand its malign influence abroad. The growing economic and military ties between kleptocrats in Tehran and Beijing are essential to the regime’s funding of its terrorist apparatus and nuclear ambitions, and these malign actors will continue to exploit this appeasement policy so long as they do not fear the repercussions of evading U.S. sanctions.” - Janatan Sayeh, FDD Research Analyst Iranian Crude Oil Exports Rising, Fueling Global Terror Iranian oil exports continue to increase and pad Tehran’s budget, fueling Iran’s domestic repression, nuclear program, and support for terrorist proxy groups around the Middle East. In March, Iranian oil exports reached their highest point since October 2018, when the Trump administration reimposed key oil sanctions lifted during the previous Obama administration. During the Biden administration’s tenure, Iranian oil exports have totaled at least $100 billion. China purchases between 80-90 percent of available Iranian oil, while most of the remainder is destined for Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. In April, Congress passed the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum (SHIP) Act, imposing new sanctions on entities that engage in or facilitate Iran’s illicit oil trade, specifically targeting foreign ports and refineries. In January, a bipartisan, bicameral congressional coalition urged President Joe Biden to crack down on Iranian illicit oil exports and apply further sanctions on entities supporting Iran’s oil trade. ^^^ source, FEDERATION IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES

Then they drove him to Selma’s apartment in Harlem. The apartment had already been prepared for an extended torture session: The closet door had been cut, a pot put in it for use as a toilet, the windows boarded. For the next 15 to 20 days (police aren’t sure just when Vigliarole died), the man was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured. (Even 10 years later, Spurling could recall Rita’s chilling response when they questioned her about shoving a three-foot metal bar up Vigliarole’s rear: “He was a homo anyway.” How did she know? “When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled.”) The three girls took turns watching the man.

Oh ye of little faith! Biden has out performed expectations every single time. I was a Kamala supporter. Biden was my last choice. He got me when he chose Kamala but I still didn’t love him. Then I saw how much he got done that people said he couldn’t do. More than most his predecessors back to FDR. He has been the adult. He is good with zingers. He has kept his cool. His admin has been tight. It is fucking amazing. MOST presidents age tremendously after 4 years. But most don’t have to deal with a global pandemic, two major international conflicts, an insurrection, an ongoing slow-moving coup. And he has done a fantastic job.

Regarding Afghanistan, Biden's response should be that trump's direct negotiations with the Taliban, excluding the Afghanistan government that the U.S. had supported for twenty years, and trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters might have had something to do with the troubled withdrawal. I believe it was 11 or 13 U.S. soldiers lost in the withdrawal. Tragic, indeed, but trump's release of 5,000 Taliban fighters just might have had something to do with that. The complete collapse of the Afghanistan government might have had something to do with trump's direct negotiation with the Taliban, basically telling the Taliban that he was going to give the country to them. Biden had only been in office a few months. For him to reverse the damage done by trump would have required effectively starting the whole damn intervention over again.

Trump and his GOP enablers will try to repeal the ACA again. Biden has accomplished so much in his 1st term, he deserves another term and we deserve to have a president who is experienced, smart and respected, not the man the world is laughing at, the candidate the axis wants.

One of the things that annoys the shit out of me is when people say in reference to Trump's criminal cases that we should defeat him at the ballot box. I agree with that, which is what happened in 2020. We defeated him at the ballot box and he attempted a coup!!! That's what I'd like Biden to say. You think your indictments are about election interference. They are about prosecuting a man who was defeated at the ballot box who tried to ignore the voters will. That is election interference.

ya left this out - - - DEMOCRAT New York Attorney General Letitia James is set to host a “Drag Story Hour” for children in Manhattan this weekend - and the event is sparking outrage over the use of taxpayer money for the already controversial event. James and a string of fellow elected Democratic city and state leaders plan to attend Sunday’s event in the West Village where “families with children” are invited to watch drag performers read books over a four-hour stretch. The AG’s March 19 event is co-sponsored by Drag Story Hour NYC - a nonprofit that has been showered in taxpayers funds, which has enabled them to send drag performers into public schools and libraries to interact with children as young as 3. “My office is proud to host a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon,” James wrote on Instagram as she promoted the event. “We’re inviting families to join us at the @lgbtcenternyc with @dragstoryhour, drag storytellers, community leaders, and elected officials.” News of the event sparked immediate backlash on Twitter, with some claiming New Yorkers’ tax dollars were “hard at work grooming kids.”
