President Biden said he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 if former President Donald Trump is defeated.

He means what he says. We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about 'If we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath, it’ll have been a stolen [election],'” Mr. Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa in his first sit-down interview since announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. The interview will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning” on Sunday, Aug. 11.

Look what they’re trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes,” said Mr. Biden. Repeating a familiar maxim about elections and democracy, the president said, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”

        The real reposts were the people complaining about reposts the whole time.

      If I block it, I can’t downvote it.

      It’s literally an advertisement for a paid news website. Why is it allowed to spam every news post with ads?

      The fact that it also provides some lawyer’s heavily-biased opinion on the bias of news sources is moot. This is 100% an underground advertising campaign for a paid service.

          Just out of curiosity (and my own laziness) can you share how they rated Wonkette? (It’s like rating The Onion, I would guess. How& why do they rate that?

              Yeah, I think Wonkette is meant to be satire first, and news second. It’s like the Daily Show. It uses news as a basis for jokes.
