Video of the speech here, he really did hit it out of the park:
(Biden at the 1 hour, 31 minute mark, 1 hour, 38 minutes for Biden at the microphone)
He’s pissed.
Pissed Joe is the best Joe. After listening to Michael Steele on the way home tonight, I’m optimistic about Joe’s chances now.
After the debate performance and the various gaffs he always makes, he’s statistically tied. If he keeps hammering Project 2025, the corrupt courts, and what the Trump presidency will do, he can pull this off. He has to keep this up through both debates and do alright through those.
Roll up those sleeves, gird those loins, and educate just what project 2025 will do!
Something I frequently see missing from discussions on Project 2025 is the criminalization of trans people, very clearly calling for their murder. It labels trans people as pornography, pornography as child abuse, and calls for the death penalty for child abusers.
Thank you, I’ve been raising this alarm for at least two years since Florida came up with this combo wombo. No one believes me.
This is why I’m looking at my options for exit strategies right now. I know I’ll be among the first sent to the camps.
He has to keep this up through both debates and do alright through those.
there’s more than one more?
Vice presidential is one to watch.
If Harris eats whatever sludge he throws up there alive, shows that she’s presidential material, and hammers project 2025. Just talk about that and that alone. That one thing and one thing alone will win this.
It’s has:
Abandonment of veterans
Subjugation of women
A gigantic expansion of the government via the border patrol and religion
Purposeful weakening of the US dollar
Gigantic gift again to the 1%
Abandonment of our kids via abolishing Dept of Education and feeding them (a huge portion of the population actually depends on this meal especially in red states)
It ticks every goddamn box imaginable lol.
When you start checking those page numbers (if this is the same version that’s been circulating) you may find that they don’t line up to those plans.
Why hasn’t trump responded to this yet? It’s like he’s hiding somewhere. I’m seeing more and more Republicans refusing to endorse trump, or actively voting against him:

I just don’t see how he can make it to the election. Eventually he’s going to have to drop out so Republicans can nominate someone else.
The speech just ended a little bit ago, I’m sure it will be on Truth Social tonight.
I think he’s slowing down. People have been saying that more and more recently.
I’ve been seeing your posts all day and I’m loving them. That’s all. Have a great day!
I’ve been hearing that more and more recently too.
Yeah, I don’t like Trump either, buddy.
I don’t know that any amount of homeruns will help at this point. The barn door is open, the horses have bolted. A significant minority of his party has openly called for him to step down, and one of the most influential members all but asked him to drop out in a public statement. That’s going to be a millstone around his neck going forward.
It will be, but if he can hold it together for one more month, then have a stellar performance at the convention, it will go a long way.
That man is supposed to hold the office for 4 more years, not one more month.
Dems were so fucking arrogant in 2016, they are doing the same thing again. They can’t read the room 😕
The contingencies for a President dying in office are rigorously tested by time. A fascist takeover the likes of this has never happened in America. I’ll take electing someone who might not make it the four years, or really whoever isn’t the guy trying to turn this place into a christian version of the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
Yes obviously even a dead guy is better than a fascist but the problem is getting the corpse back in the office.
No, the problem is preventing the fascist from getting into the office. Fuck the corpse, we’ll Weekend at Bernie’s it if we have to. Let’s bring the focus back to the fascists. All this talk about replacement is just a blatant diversion from that.
“Live Biden > Dead Biden > Dead Trump > Live Trump”
Yes, attack the media when you don’t like their coverage. Great idea.
I mean, if they’re going to harp on Biden forgetting names, it seems prudent to point out they’re giving Trump a pass…
I don’t think it’s a good strategy, I don’t really buy this narrative that the media is so mean to Biden, and it’s bad for society to criticize good journalists just because their coverage is unfavorable to you.
If anything, the media is too kind to Biden. They should be ruthlessly honest in reporting on political leaders.
I mean just in general media does not always equate to the truth, it’s not a thing of it being kind or not. It’s what gets them the most views.
Of course. And there is a right way to criticize certain coverage but I don’t see the Biden camp doing this. They’re instead just using it as a shield to avoid addressing real concerns that voters have.
I guess the main point of this chain is that Biden name is blasted across all media for mispeaking but trump is not similarly blasted across all media for constantly lying or for other flaws.
Trump is plenty criticized. He’s been pilloried by the media for the past 8 years. I don’t really think this argument makes any sense. I think cognitive bias makes Biden supporters more sensitive to this criticism, just as Trump supporters falsely believe that the media has been unfair to him.
And again, coverage about Biden “misspeaking” catches on because voters have serious concerns about his age. And because he and his advisors have deliberately attempted to hide information relating to these concerns. When the mask slips, as it did in the debate, of course it’s going to make a splash.
Trump was smart to stay out of the way and not do anything dramatic while democrats panic. However, this shooting will likely break the old Biden media cycle, and we’ll see where it goes from here. I think the media will be happy to criticize Trump once things settle and the next topic comes down the pipeline.
I would say I am cognitively biased against trump not towards Biden so what do you have to say to that?
