I heard "red or blue issue." Maybe slurred a bit, but still clear. The jaw dropper to me is his claim that his first term has been about personal freedom. His handlers really are shameless.
I want to say I'm surprised that he actually declared himself for reelection, but I often under-appreciate the value of arrogance and personal ambition. And so here we are, RFK Jr and Ron DeSantis the only things standing between us and another Biden vs. Trump election.
At 3 minutes of boring nonsense, who but a dedicated Biden voter would watch this? If he wanted to reach beyond that audience, it should have been 30 seconds.
One more data point we're living in a post-election United States. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Shit, they're putting it in their re-election ads. They're just taunting us at this point...
If I had been given ten guesses as to the concept or phrase Biden would run on, “freedom” would not have made the list. Apart from abortion, what’s the plausible freedom claim?
He ends the full video by saying he can “finish the job.” Once he fixes everything, it will stay fixed? You can’t finish the job of democratic governance!
I know that I won't have good karma for hoping that both major presidential candidates become too ill to continue or die peacefully in their sleep. But that is my hope for 2023.
The ruling cabal is using him the same way they used the senile and decrepit Robert Mueller, as a figurehead that allows the most radical elements to control the levers of power with deniability.
Social media has revealed their playbook, voices like Tucker and Taibbi, who is next, oh yeah and Musk BTW, have shown their tricks to all who step back and see, and so all opposition voices must be destroyed.
IMHO, climate is driving this whole thing, what is going too far if you are trying to save the world? Even if prior to the onset of the current geological era, the Quaternary, four million years ago, the entire planet was warmer than the worst scenarios of the climate models for tens or hundreds of millions of years, and there were 34 species of great apes, like ourselves, thriving, that we know of. Still, this imaginary risk to the planet justifies their bid for world domination, and the smothering of all opposition by any means necessary.
Who would have thunk that sociopaths would step in front of a movement of such raw power and ruthlessness, and take it over.
The contrast between Biden hidin' in his WH bunker and all of the other candidates, both Democrat and Republican, stumping across the country is not going to be a good look this time around.
I listened to it 10 times without understanding it -- really having no idea.
Meade told me — and I see tim has written — that it's "This shouldn't be a red or blue issue." Having read that, when I listen, it seems reasonably distinct.
Gilbar - with all do respect - we don't bring back anyone... WE vote. Reminder that Trump is a one man democrat-get-out-the-vote machine. (with a side of Blue ballot box stuffing/blue shenanigan/3AM blue county *counting*)
"finish the job"... the march to full blown left-wing fascism - accelerated thru the old crook puppet. (A crook who should be indicted - but is instead, protected)
We older folks may have “slurred” hearing. I heard red or blue issue, but it was fast and slurred.
“What are 3 common hearing changes in older adults? The following are the most common symptoms of age-related hearing loss: Speech of others sounds mumbled or slurred. High-pitched sounds, such as "s" or "th" are hard to distinguish. Conversations are difficult to understand, particularly when there is background noise.”
The local Channel 7 news site has the headline President Biden Announces Bid to Run for a Second Term, under a picture of him talking live from the White House portico.
Rupert Murdoch has concluded that Biden is going to win, so he is getting rid of intelligent and uncontrollable populist opinion broadcasters on Fox News. Tucker Carlson goes, Sean Hannity stays. He is going to pay out Tucker's existing contract in full. See Rupert's turnaround support for Tony Blair in 1997, where he dumped the divided and warring Tories who clearly were goin to lose. Why now? Fox Corp. is already going to take a big loss in this quarter because of the Dominion settlement. There is an old saying on Wall Street: if you are going to take a bath, take a big bath. Next quarter's earnings will look good by comparison.
The news story today in WSJ about Fox News "parting ways with Tucker Carlson" is such a jumble of unlikely and ridiculous speculation regarding pretexts for the "parting" that it is an insult to WSJ readers. Not even a child would swallow that mush.
I also heard "a red or blue issue." That, to me, is a tell. I've seen this kind of dissembling on bumper stickers that say "It's not about left vs. right - it's about top vs. bottom." Statements like that are about class struggle, and therefore absolutely are about left wing doctrine.
Mr. Biden might as well have said, 'It's about good people vs. deplorables.' He's playing to the blue crowd, and lecturing the irredemable folk.
I wasn't impressed by the production values. The jarring tones at the beginning would have had me turning it off under normal conditions. I also thought the first minute or so was somewhat washed out. My initial response was "why so many white people?" but then realized it was the lighting and there were people of all races.
I am not his base so I found his "freedom" issue a conflict with his actions for the last two years.
And Enigma ... personally I am hoping they decide to step out of the race to play with their grandchildren, but I understand your response.
Who would have thunk that sociopaths would step in front of a movement of such raw power and ruthlessness, and take it over.
I don't doubt it for a moment. The climate scam is the fear generator.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
YES!!! Four more years of INFLATION! Four more years of FINANCIAL RUIN! Four more years of China EXPANSION! And four more years of 'Big Daddy' getting his 10%!
Can a convicted sex offender, (see Jean Carroll) Indicted under the Espionage Act,(obstruction of classified info) and RICO charges for election tampering and witness badgering, and indicted for dereliction of duty for the j6 riots and fraudulent tax filings in an already criminal organization (convicted) still run for president? Asking for a friend. Sleepy Joe once again takes on the only "Repub" he can beat, this time in a real blowout. (as the right keep up the gun and abortion issues and culture wars(1939 book banning) with no direction and against will of the country, brilliant) Rupert will have to dial his allegiance back to the Don as his empire is getting shaky!

Maybe it's like those optical illusions where you can't see it at all until you do, and then it's obvious. I've heard audio clips where the sound is so badly distorted you can hardly hear a voice at all, but through a few re-listens, your brain learns to pick out the voice to the point where you can hear it clearly. (I went looking for the relevant podcast episode from You Are Not So Smart, but gave up as I couldn't come up with the right search terms.)
Biden, and anyone else, must pass a cognitive ability test to serve in office. The US Senate already has one vegetable Senator and one invalid Senator.
The US cannot have a vegetable President. We tried this before with Woodrow Wilson and the results were not good. FDR was physically disabled, but cognitively very good. Ditto Kennedy.
Churchill said something about democracy being the worst form of government - except for all the others that had been tried. (loose paraphrase!) It appears the US is doing its best to test that observation. I hope that DeSantis and Kennedy and some others have the courage to fight against a rematch of the Trump/Biden fiasco. We deserve better than either of these two.
Just watched a documentary focused on the McGovern 1972 campaign. What an impressive guy. (Yeah--acid, amnesty, abortion.) What a descent from then to now.
Fun fact. Eligibility required delegate petition for VP-scores of signatures. McGovern gathered them for Boston Mayor White. Learns of Kennedy family veto of White. Operative holding petition called and told to get signatures for Missouri Senator Eagleton. BUT THE DEADLINE IS 10 MINUTES! Do what you have to. So he whites out White and types in Eagleton on the petition.
It was interesting to me that Kamala Harris was featured so prominently. I guess this means he (or the party machine) expects her to be his running mate again in 2024?
Biden's expiration date has passed. His bulb is flickering. The cheese has slipped off his cracker. It's obvious. This shouldn't be a red or blue issue.
"“I heard red or blue issue, but it was fast and slurred.” Maybe you didn’t “hear” this part of what I said."
I read what you wrote. You either implied that Biden didn't slur his words, that it was our flawed hearing, or you chose to just ignore the point of the post.
Biden, and anyone else, must pass a cognitive ability test to serve in office. ========== I am sure according to Miranda ruling : ignorance of USConstitution is armor against impeachment
Joe Biden is an evil pile of shit. That so many people support him,.. big phat celebrity democrats from on high - support him - is sad. They support the evil that props him up.
minnesota farm guy: " I hope that DeSantis and Kennedy and some others have the courage to fight against a rematch of the Trump/Biden fiasco. We deserve better than either of these two."
All you have to do is what you guys promised long ago: get someone who will more effectively deliver the Trump policies without the Trump drama and keep the populist republican voters on board while re-attracting the dem-adjacent white suburban women.
Be sure to let us know right away when you find this magical creature.
Rush Limbaugh used to often play a clip of Teddy Kennedy, LION OF THE SENATE, descending into authentic northeastern gibberish at the end of some of his stemwinders. Maybe that's where Biden gets his speeking style. Blurgurnishmargle!

Engineered outcome as noted by blog host and... me.
Biden v Trump.
That outcome is already a forgone conclusion.
He is an excellent figurehead of the Democrat Party.

Let's stay mired in 2021, let's run the EXACT SAME PLAYBOOK the Dems have run for the last 40 years - the promotion of baby killing.
"We older folks may have “slurred” hearing. I heard red or blue issue, but it was fast and slurred."
Wow. He didn't slur his words, we all have slurred hearing.
Was that real? Not a parody? Also, love the seizure provoking flash cuts at the end.
I try to be open-minded when I watched it, but I didn't see it as being a good thing for Biden. It looks like an opposition ad to me.
It's a forgone engineered conclusion.
Biden V Trump.
The normalized crook v the dick-stepper.
Hannity is going to ride that Trump train express all the way to another Biden win. toot toot.

If Biden wins, the USA is "finished" alright.
The worst president in history.
He's set this country straight down the road towards socialism or worse.
It's a Travesty of a Mockery of a Sham.
Biden, and anyone else, must pass a cognitive ability test to serve in office. The US Senate already has one vegetable Senator and one invalid Senator.
The US cannot have a vegetable President. We tried this before with Woodrow Wilson and the results were not good. FDR was physically disabled, but cognitively very good. Ditto Kennedy.

He will fool enough dumb White voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan again no matter if he is against DeSantis or Trump.

Hey Swifty, this post is about Joe Biden, not Tucker and Fox. I thought this blog moderated comments for relevancy.
"The only thing that comes to mind anymore when I hear Joe Biden's voice is "What an asshole"."
For me, it's "What an ass-canyon.".
Biden's expiration date has passed. His bulb is flickering. The cheese has slipped off his cracker. It's obvious.
This shouldn't be a red or blue issue.
“Wow. He didn't slur his words, we all have slurred hearing.”
“I heard red or blue issue, but it was fast and slurred.” Maybe you didn’t “hear” this part of what I said.
Well, he's not wrong about that.
Biden speaks. A loon
Frozen, struggling, lies far from
The open water.
Joe stares. The dry wind
Has blown a cherry blossom
Into the river.
That was the best take they could get? Jeez.
"“I heard red or blue issue, but it was fast and slurred.” Maybe you didn’t “hear” this part of what I said."
I read what you wrote. You either implied that Biden didn't slur his words, that it was our flawed hearing, or you chose to just ignore the point of the post.
I really don't get the Biden criticism.
He is just a figurehead for whatever causes that will propel him forward, just as he always was.
He never understood those causes before. Why should he make sense at age 80?
Biden, and anyone else, must pass a cognitive ability test to serve in office.
==========
I am sure according to Miranda ruling :

with Trump - Trump will lose.
with someone else - we might have a chance. Why not go for the chance?
Nah - Trump and the Dems are fine handing it to crook Biden.
Joe Biden is an evil pile of shit. That so many people support him,.. big phat celebrity democrats from on high - support him - is sad. They support the evil that props him up.

He's getting lots of help from the GOPe which isn't surprising considering they share many of the same objectives.

I've noticed if I don't read or watch any news, nothing Joe Biden says or does has any bearing on my life.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
I watched the news early today - PBS news.
Everything is about Trump.
They smear him on every level - then promote him as a given for the R nominee.
