So, Joe Biden announced yesterday that he is withdrawing from the presidential elections in November. He endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to take his place. I suppose it will become official during the Democratic National Convention in August.
Of course the Orange Rapist is having fits and wants a refund on all the money he spent on screaming at Joe. This course of action has completely thrown off his summer golf plans. It also eclipses anything that happened last week during the Republican National Convention and spins the news media away from the outrageous bandage he’s been wearing on his ear. He paid for those props.
I sound cynical. I am cynical. In my perfect world, we’d just start talking about the president elections now instead of spinning up the hype four years before this cursed event.
Joe did the right thing. I was never crazy about voting for him this time around. It’s time for younger blood to come in and get things done. It’s time to change course. And now, Trump is the oldest candidate to run for president in the history of the country.
The media should be questioning Trump’s competence and mental acuity now. He’s way past whatever excuse we could call “his prime” and should also step down. That little Reddit troll he selected to run as his VP, the one that grew a mangy beard to look less ugly, wouldn’t stand a chance in the role, so it’d be fun to watch that go down in flames.
Overall I’m comfortable with Kamala, much more comfortable than I was with Joe. I think she has it in her and I’ll be throwing my vote in her direction come November. That is, if the country is still here, she’s still the nominee, and nothing startling has happened like twisters wiping out half the northeast again or something.
Good times. If it wasn’t a wasted vote I’d still vote for the Very Large Meteor.
I’m both relieved and excited again. I appreciate Joe Biden for everything he’s done but when everyone tells you to step aside you take the hint. I think the next big question is who will Harris choose as a running mate? As far as timelines go… the D’s HAVE to have their P and VP candidates solidified by AUGUST 7th in order to make it on the ballot in Ohio. Yikes! That’s just 2 weeks away and 2 weeks prior to the Democratic convention – which didn’t matter before Biden stepped aside but now has to be done outside the convention process.
What kills me are the undecided voters. You’re either a fan of Trump or you’re voting for LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE given as an option.
