And there are more important atrocities being committed by this administration that require attention. 50+ men sent to El Salvador’s forever prison were here legally and committed no crimes! The President is single handedly destroying the economy while enriching himself from foreign governments!

Everything is a conspiracy to dipshit morons who don't understand how anything in life works

Meanwhile Dementia Donnie is running around saying Biden has stage 9 cancer and the media is silent.

BREAKING: Trump is old , ignorant, demented and we know virtually nothing about his prostate. Newsrooms, all hands on deck!

Why doesn't anyone talk about it by framing it like - "Biden is old, so despite it being a difficult ask, we convinced him to drop out of the race." Democrats did the hard thing. Republican looked at Trump being a crazy old loon who started an insurrection and said "carry on"

After being VP he didn’t even want the job. He was declared the only person who could save us from a 2nd term. He selflessly took the job. In 2015 the media’s airtime spent on Trump, because it was ridiculous, gave him the platform to win. It wasn’t funny. History is repeating itself as we speak.

More old! More loon! More insurrection!

Newsflash 🚨Somehow Trump just announced President Biden his “STAGE 9 CANCER” that’s news!!!! Pass on Jake Tapper’s BOOK 📕 ITS OLD NEWS 😂 #IamwithBiden age, forgetting, and all. He’s still better than the POS in the Oval Office now!

This very concise comment exactly frames it as it is thank you Molly

Yeh and meanwhile we replaced him with a senile buffoon breaking everything he touches - but no conversations about when we need to take HIS keys away (It’s also confounding that this guy’s not facing systemic collapse from a lifetime of mcdonalds and speed)

I’m getting older as I post this. Enough with Joe Biden already! We need to put our energies elsewhere. 🤬

I think everyone's brain just collectively broke election day and now we're stuck in this nightmare loop

People of a certain age probably remember that Republicans did the same thing with Reagan during his second term. He was getting frail and his wife and staff help get him through the last couple of years.

I remember well the whispers about Reagan and wasn't surprised to hear the diagnosis of Alzheimer's after he left office.

It's because market testing tells them they can keep on generating ad revenue on "Biden old" stories, and that's literally the only consideration anymore.

It's not the fact that Biden is getting old, it is the FACT that @democrats.org covered it up. Do you post "live" on the set of @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social ???

If the #MSM stops focusing on Biden They will have to focus on the dementia riddled grifting 🍊 ass 🤡 And they are toooo phucking cowardly to do that. I mean, c’mon- No one’s ever called Jake Tapper a hero😳😳😬

Have they forgotten their Republican colleague? They hid this! In late 2024, news reports revealed that Republican House Representative Kay Granger of Texas, who had been absent from Congress for several months, was residing in a senior living facility.

To bash the Bidens is a MAGA agenda. All civility is gone. Any voice of reason is gone. Rule of law is in jeopardy. What I don't understand is why the MSM is so fixated on it while the spotlight should be on the adverse effects of a Democracy.

💯

That's right: that's why that's NOT 'the conspiracy'. Lying, denying, covering up, blind obedience with real world consequences is the problem. I don't know why people listen to you with your simplistic, distorted views. Your defense of Biden IS part of the problem. Democrats suck.

Exactly. The media and certain government officials are creating a problem we dont have (besides the current president who is in clear mental decline).

The right wing have become absolute masters of media control. Until that changes, nothing will get better.

It doesn't matter who the D's ran if slightly less than half the country, disproportionately proportioned, were going to vote for Satan regardless. I would have voted for a moldy old ham sandwich rather than Trump, and I'm satisfied with the strong, intelligent and moral woman I voted for.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but Jake Tapper has a bombshell book coming out! One person's conspiracy is another person's book promotion.

Biden old, Trump old. Biden good president. Trump bad president.

Excellent summary.

Probably one of the best summaries i've seen...

🤣🤣🤣

OMG. Yes to entire whole thread. Can we please just focus on the madman in the White House?

America has reached rock bottom and it’s full of scum.

Biden good and faithful man. Trump, not.

It's the red herring the media can focus on instead of the hard-hitting stuff (corruption, violation of constitutional rights, etc.) that is happening now.

Republicans also hated one of the great Presidents who kept his health issue of paralysis from the public, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Roosevelt handled WWII, got Americans through the Great Depression and Signed the Social Security Act REPUBLICANS WERE AGAINST Fuck anyone dissing President Biden

Trump being catastrophic doesn’t make Biden good

written in a way even Trump supporters can understand.

There aren’t enough crayons for that mission.

agreed

Perfectly said.

The GOP (and many in the media) are trying to justify their treatment of Biden in 2022-3 by focusing on his age now. That's all that this is.

💯

It’s just red’s detractor so we don’t pay attention to the real destruction they’re causing.

Yep

This. This right here.

Simply stated and true.

I think it's just pushing justification after the fact for the giant thumb on the scale helping Trump. Like "see how bad of a candidate Biden was, it definitely wasn't our wildly slanted coverage that put Trump over the top!"

bsky.app/profile/jooc...

Exactly. What could they do now that they elected this guy? Of course recognizing a terrible mistake is not possible.

Underrated perspective

Yet, when Biden stepped down for a much younger candidate, where was all the media coverage about OLD Donald Trump? It's almost like the 'news' media were just peddling the GOP line.

To elaborate a little, Biden is a decent man. Trump, IMO, whether as president or just as a person, is the most vile piece of filth on the planet.

Because Jake Tapper needs to sell books?

No.

Media bad, media bad.

It really is that simple. Biden at 10% is better than trump at 10,000%.

Better than Bimbo Bondi too…

My dog at 10% is better than Trump at 10,000%

2017 - #TRUMP holds press conference telling Qatar to stop funding terrorism and to end their awful human rights laws. youtu.be/YROLcyT_A7k?... 2025 - #TRUMP accepts a $400M Plane which will be given to him after he leaves office This man is #evil guys & is gambling with the lives of US citizens

All true but not that simple. Biden’s ego made Trump’s return possible. We are all flawed and Joe Biden showed he is definitely no exception.

Well-said Molly! 😂

Logic so simple that a red state kid in Head Start could understand.....hmmm.....

💯

Biden was not a good president. His failures and complicity in genocide directly aided Trump's return to power.

Can you at least give him credit for the good he DID do? Perhaps agree he was better than what we have now?

Sorry, he helped commit genocide. That's bottom tier scumbag.

You’re the person who will burn down the world to make a point. Gets us nowhere.

I'm so tired of this nonsensical bullshit. In terms of legislation, Biden was the most successful one-term President in modern history. The facts back that up. And Biden was not a supporter of genocide. FFS, the current guy wants to stage another 'Trail of Tears' for over a million Gaza residents.

You are speaking to someone as unreasonable as a trumper. Don’t waste your breath

"he's not a supporter of genocide just because he sent material support to them while they were committing it"

Lol he was literally defending Netanyahu as late as November 2024 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The stupidity of people thinking trump would end the genocide, or that Biden was complicit, is ludicrous. Bibi is the problem - the genocide will continue as long as he’s in office.

And you. You directly aided trumps return power by being uncommitted. Congrats! You won🏆

President Biden’s Accomplishments

non-voter leftists are the ones who helped trump return to power. It's basic math

True. B did what every prez is supposed to do and did it very well. He provided a clear, coherent vision and assembled a competent, intelligent cabinet to execute it. They did it - magnificently, imo of course.

T ha nothing but a shambolic “narrative” w no clear vision or purpose (maybe making money for himself?). He assembled a flock of incompetent, inexperienced & just plain criminal sycophants to fawn over & flatter him. If chaos & th destruction of th US was his basic goal - he’s also doing a great job

No one like trump

Whiny, lazy, cheating, lying, raging, psychotic, dumb, ugly, big-tits, tired, criminal Obese DonOLD #Trump hater vs Philly's BOSS- #Springsteen

Molly...you get it. This campaign is pure BS. A person with DEMENTIA is not a disgrace. Let's go back to Reagan. You cannot coach a person with short term memory loss. I am outraged at the ignorance. Blessings to you and your most loved Mother.

How can one be a good president and at the same time be enabling genocide?

Because life is complicated. And we are more than black and white. But you know this.

Think for a moment on what that means, sending bombs to be dropped on children who are being starved doesn't mean you're a bad leader. WTF? Yes it does. It makes you a moral monster.

You're quite literally arguing that enabling genocide is not a deal breaker when it comes to being a good guy. Such a statement is not justified by simply saying "Because life is complicated."

Good people don't kill innocent children.

Evil & seriously looney

Trump fascist. Biden not fascist.

Not fascist, just best friends with them (Bibi)

More than friends: supporting and genocide with funds and weapons.

Trump’s 2nd term checklist: Appoint incompetent sycophants. Cut programs and agencies that help most people. Undermine healthcare and medical research. Shred the Constitution. Find new ways to grift. Make people pay for access. Align with Putin. Make us less secure. I could go on.

All those complaining about Biden's age, health, etc. are forgetting one thing, many of us voted against Trump not for Biden. Biden wasn't perfect by any means, but he was 100% not Trump.

Seems simple to understand. And yet Jake Tapper pulled a calculus type review of Joe.

When you say “good president”, are you talking about Jilly from Philly? I’m not sure Biden knew he was on this planet near the end.

Pretty basic

plus Biden was smart once & Trump never was.

Exactly. Biden was a good President. Not even sure it was a good move for him not to run for a second term. Most definitely better cognitive skills than most even at that age and had a good team around him as well as far as I can tell.

and Nixon was a crook - and Kennedy was a playboy - and Obama was black and Trump is a cunt NEXT

🤪🤪

Hoped Sam Harris was better than this, slightly less surprised about @ezraklein.bsky.social. Alas, they have stooped to the same level (or been paid to). Trying to understand why we are focusing on this. Is it the natural desire to be "right"? Isn't this whole Biden debate a complete waste of time?

Yeah funding the genocide in Israel that clearly cost the dems the election made him an objectively good president right? Privileged lib mindset 🤡

Alternatively: being proud of helping establish fascism in the US, condemning women and minorities to life under a misogynistic and racist regime, making ethnic cleansing of Palestinians a real possibility is a privileged Jew-hater mindset.

1. Been a fascistic nation for a long time. 2. I’m Jewish lmfao. 3. This has been a racist country forever, the orange man is a symptom and not the cause. The ethnic cleansing in Palestine happened before the orange man was back in office if you know how to read dates lmfao. Good try 🤡

Q.E.D.

Yep. Regardless of it all Biden is growing old with so much more grace and dignity than the orange has ever had in his life.

He is an imperialist murderer.

Sometimes people just need to market their books.

Tapper is playing right into trump's plans and that is why his Corporate Bosses are pushing the attention onto his book, rather than allowing coverage of trump's illegalities and Unconstitutional behavior; they are looking out for the bottom line NOW and letting their reputation sink into the swamp!

Always about ratings, money.

The political class really doesnt get how much regular people do adore Biden. We have seen our loved ones age & how it happens sometimes overnight. And cognitive decline comes & goes. All this mudslinging, no one punching a clock cares. And dems are shooting themselves in the foot w it.

Two choices: 1. A man with an admirable agenda who built infrastructure, honored veterans and created strong allies while staying out of the public eye. 2.A Felon who denies the Constitution,takes foreign bribes and ruins the country's reputation while dominating every news cycle. Any questions?

But what if the autopen was really the president?

This.

True, dat!

Both too old.

Jake tapper bad reporter

And all those wishing the President a "speedy recovery" are ridiculous. You do not recover from Gleason 9, Stage IV prostate cancer; you can just be made comfortable. I hope that hormone therapy will indeed make him comfortable.

My heart goes out to not only President Biden, but to his entire family. As a former Radiation Therapist, I can only hope that hormone Therapy will make a difference in the quality of his life.

Trump is just as old and imagine what’s happening in those arteries of his 👀 that we don’t know about. Or anything else for that matter. 🤦🏻‍♀️

They have received their marching orders from Bondi to shut up about Trump!

Equally important and often ignored IMO... Biden had a top tier team around him, that could without a doubt run the government without him and do great things... while Trump has a team of unqualified, incompetent sycophants who can't run the government without hitting every obstacle along the way.

Did you vote for staff to be Prez? So what did they actually do? Who said they should make Prez decisions? Top tier It comes out THEY didn't know or worse, shown lying. Some knew. Who chose who didn't? Shouldn't 'top tier' know? Pete? Some is to cast doubt for '28. & USE Dem defences for Trump now

Comparing one staff to another, moot. it's when did Joe's health hurt his ability to be Prez. Biden's weren't there to be. If you argue Biden's team was good, so he should have left? Trump's team is shit, so Trump must stay, only some staff can do a Prez job? See the problem? Dems are being goaded.

These are such dumb talking points. You vote for a president to hire the right staff. And that right staff is going to do the overwhelming majority of the work. It's how leadership works everywhere, incl. with the presidency. Noone but delusional MAGA's talk about them making presidential decisions.

Strategist? I thought you would see I was playing devil's advocate. At least you got that is how they are going to attack dems. Stupid or not, all Dems say now, will be GOP defences for Trump staying, "Fair is fair. Dems can't defend Biden but say Trump can't". Timing didn't affect her loss? oh ok.

A Prez hires for staff positions, not choose people for fill-ins. No one can make Presidential decisions. Succession is laid out, that's why it's there. He swore an oath of constitutional duty to uphold it. It's not like 'everywhere'. Respect the Office of President of the United States.

Which is why we were all comfortable sleeping through the night from 1/20/21 to 1/20/25. From the VP on through, solid professionals with valid experience were on his team. I really miss that, and them.

That’s where I’m at. Bills were passed that they said wouldn’t pass,Our economy was the best in the world following a pandemic, NATO was strong, infrastructure was getting done, manufacturing was coming back, drug prices were going down. I could go on but that’s enough. Maybe we should focus on that

Biden not president. Trump IS president. Focus on that, people. Especially you, Jake Tapper.

Precisely

$$$

Otherwise getting old could be debunked and that would be awesome

It's the cover up, Molly. They were hiding from us that Biden old. This tiny circle of insiders that knew Biden old orchestrated the cover-up of the century to pull the wool over our eyes to think Biden young, when in fact Biden old.

The older and more inept they can make Biden look the more young and competent Trump can appear. Two things are equally true, both Trump and Biden were and are too old and mentally unfit to be President.

The decisions he made were wise, leading to great economic prosperity and social progress; those of the convicted felon were insane, leading to a severe economic downturn, widespread corruption, and degradation of our democracy.

It’s weird considering Trump is as old and actually demented. #8647

Even with what we know, Biden is STILL better than the alternative.

It has spread to bone cancer. Do you know the shape he is in now? Sorry, America deserves better than both of them right now. But that didn't happen. Why? Dropping out late definitely affected her not winning. Was the choice staying in knowing made months earlier? The Clooney fundraiser was June...

Show me perfect. Regardless, Biden hands down is the better man. Imo, the parties and the electoral college are the primary problems. I vote for the person, not the party. Doesn't matter, what's done is done. Now it's about the fix or it SHOULD be.

I agree 100. This is about getting Dems to defend Biden, then the GOP will use those defences for Trump, who is CLEARLY getting worse. Yes, the EC is shit, but if he stepped out in June it would have helped, everyone knew later he had too. Done is done, ABSOLUTELY. This is projection, as always.

Imo, it's distraction to cover Trumplicunts' daily failures. Dems should ignore the incoming bullshit and focus on everything that's wrong without chasing the toxic squirrels released regularly.

A jet blanket But because more often than not "every accusation is an admission", once they should ask Trump if he can't do his job because he is ill as his coked out son is still complaining about the last president and they wonder if he wasn't just all fucked up tweeting at 1 am... like he does.

Trump says everyone is nasty, exposing he doesn't want people to be disrespectful to his face. He's one of those aloof pricks one wants to push in the pool to laugh at. I've done worse in the Hilton Anaheim Bar to big dudes, for fun. So do it calmly. He will react. Good. Push again. He deserves it.

Because the guy crashing the dollar needs the distraction?

Tell me about it. We don't start down that hill intentionally.

If getting old is a conspiracy and not simple nature, can I opt out?

I used to like Jake Tapper. Idk what his deal is.

You know who else is old ⬇️

I seriously thought you were smarter than this comment. There is a reason the media is doing this. To help trump change the subject. THAT is the problem. The media is the taproot of our problem.

It's also American journalism. Kick people while they are down, don't report on IMPORTANT things, deflect, deflect, deflect from what's really going on, and live in the past. Just like the rapist felon leader does

It’s not about being old. It’s about being healthy enough to do the job.

And when was he aware he had to decide about that? Who knew and who didn't, why? Why did he find out earlier and drop out of the race so late? Isn't the duty of the staff to the PEOPLE, not to cover up a known issue of Prez competency? Remember the Clooney fundraiser? it was in June, it was clear.

Well said!!! 👏👏👏

I mean… most of us are gonna do it some day

I'm doing it right now!

Me tooooooo

But to some, old age is a disease, the result of poor choices. They themselves, like the Lost Boys, will never grow old.

Maggie Haberman, Katy Tur, Jake Tapper and many others gnaw on every BS distraction Trump spews like it's catnip to preserve their access for their reporting to amplify his lies. It's all a self-fulfilling circle.

That's because they get paid by the byline. Too bad they didn't get paid for their service to their readers.

Which is why I've stopped watching or reading those journalists and outlets. The only way for them to feel the consequences is a reduction in eyeballs and therefore a reduction in advertising revenue.

Go Mules!

The laugh is that the unspoken inference is that if Biden hadn't been so selfish then Trump wouldn't be in power now, which is complete nonsense. Enough people thought voting for Trump again was a better bet than either Biden, Harris or anyone else from the Democrats. They had a chance to change

their minds after Biden stepped down and they didn't. How many times did they have to be told or for how long did they need to be told that voting for Trump (again) was a spectacularly bad idea? And there are still plenty of them who have no regrets and would vote for him again, because they're nuts

Because in this case they actually convinced Gramps it was okay to drive because all of them had self interest in maintaining power. The reason you take away the goddamn car keys is because someone too old to drive could RUN OVER INNOCENT CHILDREN!

Exactly. If you believed that Biden wasn't mentally fit to run again, then he wasn't fit to make that choice himself either and selecting anyone other than Harris to run would have been an admission that they showed poor judgement in 2020. No good choices for Democrats in 2024.

This isn’t about beating up on an old man. This is about admitting that cynical self interest in the Democratic Party. Let us to the chaos we are in today. This is about learning from our mistakes so we do not repeat them.

And more importantly -- why is there ZERO focus on Trump's dementia? When you're fascinated by the word "groceries" -- you have dementia or you're Jerry Seinfeld.

But not a fucking word on the demented loon painting his face orange and babbling like an incoherent fool!

Oh and he isn't running for anything, plus ended his bid for a 2nd term. This is all very sad but the punching a former president now stricken by cancer is just next level of pathetic-ness ...

Because the current president is too old and too mentally unstable, they need to deflect this.

Look, it's not that Biden is old, it is that he is clearly, without any signs of remorse, and with no indication of even slowing down, getting older. I don't approve of this sort of behavior in my self, and I surely don't approve of it in my heroes.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Truth hurts and we need to know it. That Jill and family kept his deterioration hidden is important in the context of both candidates being old, cognitively impaired, but surrounded by ideologies so polar opposite and handlers intent on carrying out agendas and both parties complicit and enabling.

And it's a SLOW progression for most. Anyone with aging parents knows that. So it's a very complicated calculus. This seems so obvious to me but people are being intentionally obtuse about it.

A retired man being old is not news

People need to not react to their stupid comments and then they won’t be news.

who signed off on him getting older?!? We need to look in to this. This seems suspicious.

Make sure you say this about Trump in 2027. He is getting older too, and a bloody mess now. But hey, YOU just gave the GOP a defence. Fair is fair right? Surely you don't have TDS & make different rules for one old prez vs another. They're suckering Dems in to stay quiet on Trump, or be hypocrites.

Did you read that all in a book or did your drunk uncle corner you at a family reunion?

I was blackout drunk, even my therapist says so. He also said if reading stuff pertaining to projection to get out ahead of a story, & questioning while knowing the answer may get people to say things to use against them, like a cop. But if that makes me think about that night, I may have issues.

That is sooooo funny

ty. I dress to impress.

huh?

You don't get you are creating a defence for Trump? If you criticise him for being old before 28 and not Biden, then you look like you have TDS, double standards or a hypocrite. Dems are trapped & arming the GOP with defenses for trump and I think the GOP know more & are going to trip them up.

I'm not creating anything, I'm being a smart ass and you're taking it literally

Oh ok, sure. Everyone but me would interpret a question mark as not a question if it's preceded by "huh", then ignore it, it's just a smart ass. Sorry, it should have been clear to me. But I will remember next time to just say "fuck off smart ass, I thought I was engaging in real conversation."

I apologize that your inability to pick up sarcasm has caused you to reach these levels of anger.

Clearly, they are not familiar with your game.

Ding ding ding So he's actually daft or straying beyond being smart & only an ass now. I even used actual words, contextual sentences, and lead in without need for the obvious punctuation negation by grunt. If i wanted to be a fuckstick, I would, but i'm refraining out of respect for Molly.

It was pretty clearly sarcasm as no one can actually sign off on getting older, you are just trying to blame other people for your inability to pick it up and you're embarrassed. It happens, I've missed sarcasm before, no need to deflect blame to anyone else but yourself on this one

LMFAO

I thought it was an exaggeration that bluesky users don't understand sarcasm, you have convinced me it is not an exaggeration.

Are you talking to me? Surely not. Clearly the terms of service don't explain the level of sarcasm comprehension one requires here, or the complexity of when and when not to ignore punctuation with a Huh. Oh wait, bear with me, I'm getting it now. I can just write "Whaaa?" Soooo cool. WOW. Pfft
