    I wonder if the dems are shell-shocked by the fall of Roe, covid, monkeypox, the liver problems in kids, mass shootings, and the panic about inflation. If somebody charismatic like Bill Clinton or Obama were president right now - they could distract the libs from hellworld.

    I think libs are desperate for hopeful rhetoric but Biden either gives them some line about "working with the republicans" or he doesn't say anything at all. I think Biden must say something about guns in particular. Libs aren't expecting the truth - Obama lied to them like a priest for 8 years - but they just want to hear soothing words.

    Not only is Biden anti-charismatic - 24/7 Biden seems to be so worried about making a mistake that his coping mechanism for most problems seems to be for his administration to go radio silent and wait for things to go away. I think right not that's a gigantic loser. I saw a tweet that said there were no members the administration on the Sunday news shows talking about guns. I think silence on gun violence is in particular a big (if not huge) mistake.

      It's pretty clear that Biden isn't there mentally. Even if he was, he's been wrong about every public policy for 50 years. I'd link to the video of his racist speech in favor of the 1994 crime bill, but Youtube censored it. There's palace intrigue galore going on, which even if the media was curious about, which they're not, they wouldn't report anyway because it would reflect negatively on Biden. He's being controlled by his advisors, and he constantly says things he obviously heard in meetings but wasn't supposed to say in public. Like "we will militarily defend Taiwan" even though there is no such treaty and strategic ambiguity has been a cornerstone of US policy since the 50s. Then the White House immediately contradicts him and instructs the press to bleat that the president didn't really mean what he said, despite him clearly saying it. It's a poorly coordinated shitshow, with people fighting in the shadows.

            JFK wasn't killed by the CIA, he was killed by a sniper enthusiast who had a stutter just as he was driving by
