Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

All of them had earlier signs than the general public about Biden's mental issues

But they didn't give a fuck until it was undeniable to the general public.

Especially Schumer tho, he didn't act until the very lose possible second after they'd already shut down the primary

We could have had Biden sorted and sidelined with plenty of time for a fair primary.

The earliest sign was around 2021 IIRC. A report came out that Biden was taking midday naps to power through the day and all we got was basically "the big man is tired. Leave him alone"

And he was still 20x or more the POTUS the felonious dictator rapist has been.

Fuck the remainder of those senators

Biden should not have been running in the first place.

Biden should have taken Biden's advice.

But no he had to stay in long enough to ruin the primary and ensure that nobody who was willing to actually defeat Trump would gain the nomination. Same reason he waited four years and one RNC nomination to have his DOJ indict Trump for inciting an insurrection to overthrow the US government, among his dozens of other felony crimes. They needed to be sure that Trump would get back into office.

They mean after Biden said he was going to tax the rich..

Is this news from last year? And what is Angus Scrimm doing up there?

I don't think it comes as much surprise that AIPAC-backed Dems were more likely to continue to blindly support Biden.

You know, the lobbying firm whose bulk of funding comes from Republican origins.

I can see the strategic play of progressives not coming out and calling for Biden to step down because they would've been seen as a scapegoat and Biden may have dug in his heels more if progressives led the charge.
