Fucking democrats.
A guy is in his hospital bed suffering. Things are about to get worse.
A woman comes in. She's wearing a lab coat and she has a clipboard. She's jaunty. "And how are we today?"
"I don't know how we feel. I feel awful. How do you feel? And who are you?"
"Good-good-good. She turns her clipboard around for a moment to show him "See these highlighted parts?" She turns it back around to face her. She points - "That's your prognosis. "And these..." She points quickly and flips the page. She ends up pointing nine times. "Are the components of your bill."
"Who are you?"
"Do ya know how you can possibly greatly reduce your bill by removing some components? I see here I see here without component deduction that your bill's gonna come to more than one point one mil. That's significant."
"Who are you?"
"You can also possibly get a better prognosis too. If you become eligible - we got a world-renown specialist who can fly in from the Mayo Clinic. No charge to you."
"Who are you?"
"I'm rep for the entertainment division of the hospital."
"The what?"
"The entertainment division of the hospital. I guess I was misinformed and you didn't already know about your opportunity to become part of the reality tv series we are going to be filming..."
Old man Biden really showed us the meaning of the words sacrifice and bravery when he yelled "Grenade!" and saved many of us in the platoon when and he jumped on top of the weapon with his body to shield us from the—
Hold on. I'm being told in my earpiece that there was...
- No sacrifice
- No bravery
- No grenade
- No platoon
- No jumping on top of the non-existent weapon by Biden
- No "shielding" from the non-existent weapon
The reality - I'm being told - is that his team didn't poll in the swing states for two whole months as they waited for fantastical events to get Biden's poor polling numbers up. Perhaps they were waiting for LOTR-like wizard to appear to perform actual magic? In this context it's likely that the main reason Biden dropped out was because it was clear he was going to get smoked in the swing states and lose big time.

Why Biden finally dropped out - POLITICO
When the campaign commissioned new battleground polling over the last week, it was the first time they had done surveys in some key states in more than two months, according to two people familiar with the surveys.
I posted that in the pod thread. I wonder how long it will be until they delete it and ban me. My hunch is about an hour. It's pre-sunrise is some of the US right now.
I can also post pics if interested!
I'd like to see pics.
Google is now the only search engine that can surface results from Reddit...
I'm terrible at proofreading so if I can nearly immediately find a mistake - the website isn't even trying.
I'm starting to wonder where people even get information anymore.
Facebook, Twitter, and other cesspools.
Children of Men reboot.
We live in such a bizarre time. A Bezos-like character couldn't have been a villain in an episode of the "Twilight Zone". Even the reality of that show - audiences of that era would have thought the character utterly ridiculous and the situation cartoony. How could an evil man even in the far off future of 2024 amass ~$2 billion (adjusted for inflation), have worker-serfs, spy on 10,000,000s of Americans, have a $50m toy - his yacht, etc.
I don't get it.
I wish I had done things differently to bring out more libs. I should have made the title something like "Including Kamala?" with image being just "ACAB". I got too clever.
If Kamala wins - it's going to eventually be surreal at places like Bluesky. Libs there think of Project 2025 as a GOP roadmap for awfulness. But President Harris and the dems could implement the parts of Project 2025 they favor - like border security, anything involving police, stuff for "national security", etc. Plus - of course - Kamala could unilaterally do many things herself with the new powers given to the president by the GOP justices.
It's not worth my time to try to talk about it at Bluesky now because libs are in "brunch mode" and typically refuse to engage with leftists randos. If they do "engage" it's to block or mute.
They should put him in ads.
JD's Dew'n it!
And they could introduce a new flavor - Mountain Dew Diet Extreme.
