Comments on: Biden's Farewell Address http://www.chrisweigant.com/2024/07/24/bidens-farewell-address/ Reality-based political commentary Sun, 14 Jun 2026 03:59:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: nypoet22 http://www.chrisweigant.com/2024/07/24/bidens-farewell-address/#comment-210484 nypoet22 Fri, 26 Jul 2024 03:06:48 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/?p=25314#comment-210484 my dad (who is himself a hardcore labour partisan who immigrated from the UK) did predict a trump win, in 2016, 2020 and this year, and his attitude is not defeatist either. he just listens more closely than most people, and is one of the most intelligent judges of human behavior i've ever met. this is the first of the three elections when i think he's probably right, but that's not as if it's a self-fulfilling prophesy. i will do whatever I reasonably can (precious little due to other personal developments, but I will try) to help defeat donald in november, and have said as much. "defeatist" at least in my definition means not doing anything to try to prevent the disaster one sees on the horizon. I'll get out and vote, and encourage others to do the same. but donald has a LOT more real, flesh and blood people coming out of the woodwork for him than most non-righty followers of politics want to admit. and because of this, defeating him will be a tougher ask than i currently believe the vice president to be capable of. i dearly hope to be proven wrong, and i'll certainly take whatever steps i must to help prove myself wrong, but i don't think it serves any higher purpose to delude oneself about the size of the challenge and the current probability of winning. my dad (who is himself a hardcore labour partisan who immigrated from the UK) did predict a trump win, in 2016, 2020 and this year, and his attitude is not defeatist either. he just listens more closely than most people, and is one of the most intelligent judges of human behavior i've ever met. this is the first of the three elections when i think he's probably right, but that's not as if it's a self-fulfilling prophesy. i will do whatever I reasonably can (precious little due to other personal developments, but I will try) to help defeat donald in november, and have said as much.

Beau knows his stuff.

This is as stark a contrast as they come. But there will be sharper contrasts than this between now and November.

Well, Donald Trump is definitely the old man now so we have the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. Is America really ready for an old man convicted felon as president?

I hope everybody noticed how the felonious old man didn't even get the usual convention bump... nothing. I have it on good authority that this was actually by design. The Democrats and Biden actually outmaneuvered the Republicans.
