I am so sick of the Biden bashing!Goddam it he is our bridge to democracy.Getting someone else at this stage in the game is suicide.The $$ Biden has raised does not transfer over to a new nominee.Biden has Kamala and a super competent Cabinet.The task at hand is to take down Trumpism,Putism,authoritarianism,Nazi’ism, fascism,and all other enemies of democracy.The NYT,CNN,George Clooney and all of the other doubters and malcontents be damned.We The People have the strength in numbers and the will to prevail.
I rarely watch/ listen to CNN anymore but I’m on an iPad and knew I could easily watch live. I get they were filling time but it was gawdawful crap. Found MSNBC and watched there but the panel afterwards, including Rachael made me turn it off. It’s mid- July. Let’s let Trump sweat his….. rug off at outside rallies because he’s too cheap (and probably banned) to engage an indoor facility. I hope his serfs demand it of him. He dare’nt wear a golf shirt.
I've definitely switched my fan crush from her and probably withdrawing from Rachel to Seth Abramson. He's on X (which amusingly still shows as Twitter half the time on a google search for Current stuff) every day fighting with both fists.
I have stuck it out in Xitter, and it's ... interesting to say the least. There is a very active pro-democracy bunch in there. The pro-democracy feed keeps squeezing down smaller and smaller but the ones still there frequently provide interesting leads I don't hear elsewhere probably because of how often the substack authors focus on the major media stories and how some of the most interesting stories (like the Epstein papers recently released) and early hints of story (like the hacker getting into the Federalist Society's computer banks and finding Chinese backers) are too off to the side to get the limited attention available.
This is amazing. I have shared it on my FB page. I guess none of us should be surprised that rightwing fascists declared themselves to be "Democrats" who wanted Biden off the ticket...dirty tricks, after all, is their forte. But the fact checking in this article is stunning...602 lies in that "debate"! 602! I knew it was overwhelming, but I had absolutely no idea. It was like every other breath...what did Seth say every 3.9 SECONDS? Thanks so much for the link. I have read "Proof" and I'll probably subscribe to this substack now.
I missed that as well because my very smart grandnephew told me to turn it off, telling me, quite correctly, that it was bullshit. what did Jen Psaki do?
I thought he nailed it. Demonstrated his immense knowledge and leadership ability in world affairs. Of course the pundits will only talk about the gaffes.
Why do the reporters & some Democrats think Biden can't beat trump?
I live in Texas & I am so sick & tired of my vote not counting. My vote, because of the electoral college goes for trump (red state). Now some Democrats are trying to take my primary vote for Biden away. What the heck gives them that right??? Rant over!
Your vote DOES matter in red Texas just as mine does here in blood red Ohio.We took down our governors regressive Heartbeat law in a special election to get reproductive freedom on the ballot.If we can do it here, we can do it nationwide.There is and will be so much disinformation via Russian AI, troll , bots not to mention our own shit flingers the Heritage Foundation and all of the Republican/Putin cult.I will stand behind whoever is in line to get rid of this horrid MAGA cancer but I hope Biden hangs tough.
I actually think women are going to make the difference in this election.We have been backed into sub-citizenship -again -and are likely to be disenfranchised with a Trump election.Noooooo we’re not gonna take it! We are strong and angry and let’s roar.
Couple weeks ago I was wearing one of my walking billboard t’s and a man stopped me in the parking lot. He said “ women are not going to put up with this stuff. They may be silent now but they’re going to all come out and vote.”
This Seneca Project ad (1 minute)knocks it out of the park ! I’m glad they included the despicable Charlie Kirk. He is not just a “Trump supporter” but head of Turning Point Action which is pouring millions into the campaign.How could any woman agree with this s$&t !!! 📣📣📣
Never mind a debate or a golf match, Biden should challenge Trump to do what he just did, hold his own nationally televised press conference., with no notes or teleprompter. It would drive home what a flaming, incompetent dolt he is.
He’s fine. There’s just a lynch mob after him. Schumer and Jeffries should be ashamed of themselves. Do THEY not want him to run? They need to control their folks. Fecking spineless Democrats
The intelligence and judgment remain. He thinks strategically and for the long term. And clearly, on gun safety, he feels it deep in his gut. I think it helped.
Once again, Lawrence O'Donnel is giving an excellent report on BIden's superb press conference after the NATO meetings. But O'Donnel's colleagues spent the past hour tearing Biden apart. WTF.
I had to stop watching MSNBC about two weeks ago, MaryPat. I had my car radio tuned to it as well but have now selected music to calm my frayed nerves.
It was great just now, too! I know how you feel - except for watching Lawrence a few times, I have started watching Hallmark movies for the first time in my life. Guaranteed happy ending. And, yes, music.
Thank you, again, Tom. Biden did no less than was expected of him. He IS Presidential material. I'd like to think the trumpster/dumpster was just a fluke
Thank you for using your platform to spread the word. Biden is being swift-boated … by his own party! Even all those who believe Biden is “too old” or can’t last another four years should vote for Biden anyway. IF they are right (which they are not) Harris would take over anyway … so why destroy any chance of beating Trump by bashing Biden? His own party!!!!!
Each of the Dims wants to be the bright kid in the classroom and prove everyone else’s including Biden wrong. It’s like they think this is just a game. Are they nuts.
Damn the man is uniquely qualified to direct foreign policy. Other than the cringe gaffe at the start he was strong in his knowledge of world history and politics. I don’t think Golda Meir ever sat across a table from Trump.

You didn't miss anything except Jen Psaki's appalling behavior.
I've definitely switched my fan crush from her and probably withdrawing from Rachel to Seth Abramson. He's on X (which amusingly still shows as Twitter half the time on a google search for Current stuff) every day fighting with both fists.
Seth has a Substack
I know. So good.
I’m gonna find it.
an absolutely splendid one. he's a serious DETAIL guy, by golly.
I don't do Twitter anymore. Is he accessible anywhere else?

An absolute favorite Seth I shared everywhere: https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/donald-trumps-shocking-box-score?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=262336&post_id=146123093&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=3fufu&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

Thanks Ellen for warning as had not been able to watch.
Yeah, what's with her and the Pod Save America guys?! I can't watch them anymore.
Oh no…
I missed that as well because my very smart grandnephew told me to turn it off, telling me, quite correctly, that it was bullshit. what did Jen Psaki do?
I know !Even Rachel did not come to Biden’s defense.I was surprised.Only Lawrence who is still standing steadfastly today behind Biden is my hero.
They are playing right into trumpian hands...
You are so correct. They’d rather have a schoolyard squabble than win it seems. Sad.
I'm ridin' with Biden.
Same.
ditto.
Biden spoke clearly on many issues. He obviously knows what he is doing and has clear goals for our country. He has my vote Again!
I thought he nailed it. Demonstrated his immense knowledge and leadership ability in world affairs. Of course the pundits will only talk about the gaffes.

Same here in Florida ,Victoria!.Amendment 4 is on the ballot and will drive women to the polls !!🗳️

👕🛒
I agree with that guy. From my experience, women are going to decide this election.
...as usual.

Thanks for this uplifting update TC.
Never mind a debate or a golf match, Biden should challenge Trump to do what he just did, hold his own nationally televised press conference., with no notes or teleprompter. It would drive home what a flaming, incompetent dolt he is.
Exactly. That's what I keep saying.
YES. YES. YES.
He’s fine. There’s just a lynch mob after him. Schumer and Jeffries should be ashamed of themselves. Do THEY not want him to run? They need to control their folks. Fecking spineless Democrats
I agree...Schumer and Jeffries are knifing Biden and it is an ugly sight.
I agree
The intelligence and judgment remain. He thinks strategically and for the long term. And clearly, on gun safety, he feels it deep in his gut. I think it helped.
The gun safety response was fierce. I loved it. More like that, Joe.
Thank you. He was awesome.

I had to stop watching MSNBC about two weeks ago, MaryPat. I had my car radio tuned to it as well but have now selected music to calm my frayed nerves.
MSM sucks.
I’m glad to hear, however, that Lawrence did his Lawrence thing. Glad SOMEone has …
It was great just now, too! I know how you feel - except for watching Lawrence a few times, I have started watching Hallmark movies for the first time in my life. Guaranteed happy ending. And, yes, music.
I rely on TCM. and, for not much money, Criterion is a great place to spend time.
aside from a few (very few) outliers, that Golden Age of the Cable Series is history.
but old movies (especially when they've been beautifully restored) are still my favorite viewing.
and PBS remains PBS. but why the fuck is Frontline only available as a streaming attraction?
Thank you, again, Tom. Biden did no less than was expected of him. He IS Presidential material. I'd like to think the trumpster/dumpster was just a fluke
Traveling and just back from dinner. Thank you so much for watching and reporting. My nerves are shot. Nevertheless, we persist. Go, Joe!
Thank you for using your platform to spread the word. Biden is being swift-boated … by his own party! Even all those who believe Biden is “too old” or can’t last another four years should vote for Biden anyway.

I know! Sometimes, Dems can be even dumber than MAGAs.
Damn the man is uniquely qualified to direct foreign policy. Other than the cringe gaffe at the start he was strong in his knowledge of world history and politics. I don’t think Golda Meir ever sat across a table from Trump.
Thank goodness! I wasn’t able to watch! Thanks for the update TC!!
YES!!!!!!
