Race for the White House Update: Biden's to lose

  Doncha wish he wasn't trying so hard to lose it?

You: Defund the police

Joe Biden: I hear you. I see you. Let’s give them an additional $300 million dollars. https://t.co/n788k8m4AD

We should have seen it coming.  He did tell his biggest funders 'nothing would fundamentally change', after all, and he doesn't lie to them as much as he lies to the rest of us.

Some of the things Old Joe says still have the capacity to shock.

The fact that @JoeBiden’s ideal VP is a Republican is so on brand for the center-right Democratic party. https://t.co/vDH5w8FSQX

His weekly brain fart is not one of them.

Most disgusting, disrespectful #Biden comment, to date. There's no comparison when it comes to #MartinLutherKing #MLK

Five more months of this.  Can he last?  Perhaps if Trump continues in Christofascist fashion (see what I alliterated there?).  Dallas yesterday, where he met with "faith leaders" (sic) prior to a high-dollar fundraiser.

Trump is in Dallas, going to Gateway Church, where he is about to be greeted by a #BlackLivesMatter protest that dwarfs the crowd of his supporters.

In Dallas, y’all.

The president's latest temper tantrum had him moving the RNC convention out of Charlotte, North Carolina -- mostly -- and into Jacksonville, FL because of COVID19 restrictions imposed by the Tarheels' Democratic governor, Roy Cooper. 

A week from today, Trump restarts his campaign rally tour in Tulsa, OK on Juneteenth.

I wonder how the President came up with the idea to hold his first rally in months in Tulsa, where this happened -https://t.co/p1L92FSVtP - on Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Coincidence? No. #DogWhistle

For those of you who may be planning on going, you'll need to sign a waiver promising not to sue if you contract the 'rona. 

And the Republican National Committee hasn't been vaccinated against laughable gaffes, either.

NEW: The GOP platform Trump & Republicans will use in 2020 40+ references attacking "the current" president.

“The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk," it reads. "Its gravest peril originates in the White House."

They're real busy over there.  Too busy to write or even read their own platform, and it's certainly true that not much has changed in four years, at least from their point of view.

It now appears that Vice President Mike Pence, who chairs the White House Coronavirus Task force, has deleted this tweet, which features him greeting campaign staff while not observing social distancing guidelines or CDC guidelines to stem the transmission of Coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/2H2EqFlfuV

Pick your shitshow; left door or right door.  Actually the left door is on the right, and the right door is so far to the right it's outside the teevee studio.

If you can't push Joe Biden left while every major city in America is on fire, you think you can do it once he is in office?

Meanwhile Bernie is still hosting video conferences, most recently with ... Cory Booker.

It was great to hear these two discuss the importance of marijuana legalization.

If only the candidate they endorsed supported it. #legalizemarijuana @JoeBiden #legalizeItJoe https://t.co/KcqS9VnTwA

That wasn't Sanders' biggest letdown of the week, personally.

I have nothing but respect for Bernie Sanders but as a former Bernie staffer I have to say that I completely disagree with him on this. #DefundThePolicehttps://t.co/sPWUREHORj

Candidly, it's not Joe Biden who seals my divorce from the Donks.  It's Bernie Sanders.  And his campaign manager two cycles running: Jeff Weaver.

UPDATE:

Jeff Weaver and his super PAC are courting millions from big donors by promising to “cut off and undermine third-party alternatives.”

“It’s a good pitch,” says a donor who was interviewed.

This is what the donor class is truly afraid of.#PeoplesParty https://t.co/P9983u87nZ pic.twitter.com/d4DsSscAof

So I'm glad the truth is being spoken somewhere.

“Democratic leaders have no convictions and no backbone. A nationwide uprising for racial justice demands defund the police. Trump calls it the demand of ‘Radical Left Democrats.’ So Democratic leaders cave and join Trump in rejecting it."https://t.co/iRw2e2o5ds pic.twitter.com/TjoepxtWHY
