Yeah, I think the panic was real, but Biden's staff and family have signaled that they fully intend to weekend-at-bernie Biden all the way to the convention.

It's either fall in line, or start an open rebellion within the party against the sitting president. A person's power and influence within the DNC is directly proportional to how spineless they are, therefore they must fall in line.

I guess major donors could be a deciding factor, but it's probably way easier for them to just write off the Democrats this cycle and move to the Republicans. (most of them donate to both sides anyways)

These are the same people that openly and proudly live their lives pretending Biden is not directly responsible for the most live-streamed genocide in history. Biden could shoot a Palestinian child on live television and they'd find a way to scold people for using it as justification not to vote for him. ("Yeah well Trump would have made him bleed out! Biden made it quick and painless!")

Pretending Biden is not suffering from advanced dementia while he shits himself during a debate must be like easy mode for their reality bending.

Democrats in 2020, sowing their power to force Biden's shambling corpse onto the ticket: haha, yes, haha, fuck yes

Democrats in 2024, reaping their powerlessness to remove Biden's shambling corpse off the ticket: oh shit oh fuck please make him step down oh god oh fuck

non work related pins and buttons won’t be allowed anymore

But nothing about stickers? You know what you have to do!

Edit: and after they ban stickers, get a lanyard that has "Free Palestine" embroidered into it. Or just a kefiyah pattern lanyard if they do like a blanket ban on "anything political."

I was surprised at how much the media apparatus was finally admitting to what we've all known this entire time, but then I remembered that liberals have the memory of a goldfish, so ultimately I don't think Biden will drop out. MSM will simply stop talking about this within the next few days, until the next incident, and the next, etc etc.

Remember, Biden's handlers only let us see him at his best, so his performance was no surprise to them. These are the people who have to feed him and (likely) change his diapers. They know, better than anyone else, how cooked he is, and yet they have made zero moves to set up a contingency. There seems to be zero effort to set up Kamala or anyone else to take over the front of the ticket, why would that change now? They are so deep within the sunken cost of going all-in on Biden, they have left themselves zero alternatives. I guess DNC donors panicking and demanding it might be the one thing to make it happen, but I have a feeling they will simply ignore the problem until they can get people (including any nervous donors) distracted by something else. After all, this is the same party that shamelessly weekend-at-bernies'ed Diane Feinstein up until her last, wretched breath.

All that said, I do think there is a solid chance he croaks before the election. He's already known for his frequent falls (that we see), and the falls will only get worse and more frequent as his brain continues melting and he gets worse at catching himself before he slams his skull into the floor or a podium or something. If his handlers were at all half-competent, they'd at least put him in a wheelchair and try to revive the "FDR 2.0" schtick, but that comes with its own risks and I don't see the DNC going that route.

The r/politics debate discussion post is full of libs posting like Biden didn't even exist in this debate. Also, sorting the comments by controversial crashes the site, which I can only assume is intentional while feds work to keep the comments scrubbed illuminati

Oxygen Not Included is 66% off. This game ruined all other colony sim/management games for me, and is by far my top-played game on Steam. This is probably the best review to give potential players an idea if this game is right for them. It's still being actively developed, and there's even a new DLC being tested on the beta branch right now.

Cassette Beasts is 40% off. If you've ever been into Pokemon, but felt like their games were getting stale, this is worth checking out. Also, the creators seem like comrades; the "Team Rocket" stand-ins are literally real estate agents, and at one point a bearded NPC named "Karl" makes a cameo.

Cojab said her addiction stemmed from stress.

She was the president of a Zionist student group called Realize Israel, at odds with other student activists and professors calling on the university to sever ties with Israel.

It's so incredibly disgusting seeing a puff piece about a Zionist crybullying over a cheese addiction, posing with large blocks of fancy cheeses, and talking about expensive rehab far out of reach of the average person, all while her ideology is responsible for ongoing mass starvation and genocide against Palestinians.

Also, I feel like there's a slammer meme somewhere in here zionist-despair 🧀🧀🧀🧀 qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

"Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. "And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."

"Like any new technology, there’s a learning curve for people," said Mark Bilek of the Chicago Auto Trade Association.

Lmao, no my dudes, it's pretty well understood that you need to keep the battery warm enough to be able to charge. This is not some fucking unexplored field of science!

I'm absolutely cackling at the radio silence from Tesla + dozens of Tesla owners just sitting around cluelessly wondering why their car hasn't charged at all in over 3 hours. Maybe another 3 hours will do it, keep trying stalin-approval

Also, a cursory Google search leads me to believe that the Model 3 has no dedicated battery warmer that could be used for this very situation, but instead some system that "runs the motor inefficiently to heat up the battery". Doesn't sound like this can work when the car is stationary, I guess tesla engineers forgot about the Midwest when cutting parts to save on production costs michael-laugh
