Morning, I don’t think we’re escaping US politics until November 🫠
So if you’ve not seen the news yet, Biden has withdrawn from the Presidential campaign. It’s all a bit smelly though as he showed no signs of doing so, right until his statement was posted on X and then released to then press yesterday evening. Party staffers have been complaining that they weren’t told and instead found out on X. It all looks a bit like a soft coup, if that’s a thing. Seems likely Biden genuinely had no idea he was quitting - he could also be dead 😅 - no one has seen him. Remember he’s been under pressure to go since his debate with Trump and practically being told to over the last week to go by those around him since the failed assassination, since everyone realises there’s no way he can win now - also notable that this final event didn’t happen until the law-fare and assassination attempt failed. So did someone high ranking in the Democratic party *cough, Pelosi’* just move against the President by drafting and releasing his statement on X without his knowledge, forcing his hand? It’s notable that in the statement no one was endorsed as his replacement - is this so the Dems have some time to pick who they want? But once the statement is out and Biden has to run with it, another tweet immediately names Kamala Harris as his endorsee, scuppering those plans, perhaps in a final ‘fuck you’ to those who just forced him out? Now we can see from Obama’s statement above, that despite the press and paid shills online jumping over to Kamala immediately, he’s not backing Kamala. Is it because he recognises that the optics of what happened are VERY bad, the administration that has been whining about an attempted coup by Trump for 4 years, actually just did one and deprived their party members from the opportunity to select their chosen candidate? Or, is he just saying that because he has his own candidate in mind and we’re about to see the first transexual President? 👀
Probably nothing👇🏻
Another from Balaji, it’s a very good point and I’ll remind you that you MUST read The Network State 👇🏻
How is this even possible? That’s a genuine question, I’d love to have someone with sketchy background explain to me the actual process that takes place for you to arrive illegally and then end up working for the organisation responsible for stopping you arriving illegally. Is it all faked documents? Shouldn’t we be able to spot them, especially at that level?
The section of society that is actually interested in this kind of investigation is vanishingly small. People are very tired of having something that is nothing to do with them pushed into every section of their life and then being told they’re bigoted in some way or even prosecuted for objecting to it. We will see more push back and it’s possible some institutional support will back off a bit. There are no rights that the LBGTQ+ community do not have, the battle is long won, no one gives a shit. As I’ve said previously there are many in the LBG part of the community who are sick to death with the TQ+ part and want absolutely nothing to do with it. Many also regard elements of it with suspicion. I’m not in that community and but will happily defer to the elders within it who were part of the struggle through the 70/80/90’s to get the acceptance they have now. People who actually suffered from the actions of genuine bigots and understand what ‘hate crimes’ are. I’ll listen when they say they’re sick of seeing rainbows everywhere and that Pride has turned into an excuse for public sexual displays and vulgarity. For the Police this is also terrible optics. People are rapidly getting sick of seeing focus placed on this type of ‘incident’ but can’t get such swift action when they experience real crime.
This is the prime example of why they can’t realistically keep Kamala as the nominee. Bar the fact that she incapable of making any sense when she speaks publicly, the skeletons from her previous career rise and actions during it are everywhere. The attacks will be too easy for Trump and the public hate her, she’s in many ways a worse candidate than Biden. That’s how you know that they will either switch her out, there’s more shenanigans afoot with either Trumps ability to be alive, or something will come up to stop or effect the election.
2024 my friends 🔥
