Bye bye Biden

Post by Tessa K » Sun Jul 21, 2024 7:31 pm

Biden has finally pulled out and backed Kamala Harris.

I haven't seen Trump's response yet.

My money's on calling him names, then having a go at migrants.

I actually cried a little which caught me off guard and now I feel stoopid
I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

When the news of Biden having Covid was released, I must admit I did wonder whether this could be start of an exit strategy that leaves him OK to finish his term but not to continue.

The problem with the 2 term limit on American presidents is that the way the nomination process is set up makes it quite difficult for a president in their 1st term to not be selected for a second term.

Trump is ranting about Biden not having covid which I suppose is possible although I think it’s more likely that covid took advantage of his suppressed immune system and he took advantage of covid

There's a wave of CoVID at the moment. I had it three weeks ago.

Biden was out shaking hands and meeting people as part of a campaign.

Covid has been going up in Italy too, and I slightly suspect I may have caught it when I was in the Trieste region at the beginning of the month, which was always a noted antivax/antimask/f.ck you I won't do what you tell me hot-spot.
having that swing is a necessary but not sufficient condition for it meaning a thing
