I take it you mean Hailey dropping out? Yeah, I hope that whatever they used to induce her to quit was worth it (if she actually gets it...). But the Biden campaign isn't letting the opportunity pass. Trump winning. Haley dropping. It will take a miracle for him to lose in November. What Biden said is so true -- I wish that those Republicans that aren't MAGAts will understand that the worst thing isn't a democrat for President but for Trump to win again. But I have no confidence that it will happen. Mr. Tulip thinks I'm overreacting, but he didn't think Trump would win the first time either. I have no faith in the system, and heaven knows what kind of violence we'd see if he lost again. It's scary stuff for the US and the world.

That Jordan Klepper segment gives me zero hope. I can't with these people! Yep, we're fucked. And with we I mean the entire planet. If Trump, godforbid, gets elected he's going to hand over Europe to Putin on a golden platter thinking he'll be thanked for that, not realizing it'll be just the first step in Putin's dream of world domination. US next, tsk.

So do I, but I fear it's what remains of the intelligent, decent, part of the population that will lose to these idiots. The Dems do it to themselves, too, because they're now voting against Biden because they don't agree with his stance in the Israel/Hamas (but really the whole Palestinian population) war as if they don't understand that their actions might cost the entire planet democracy. If the orange asshat wins, the world soon will be run by Putin/Netanyahu clones.

Mike Pence will not endorse Donald Trump’s presidential campaign
Former Indiana governor and candidate for Republican nomination tells Fox News decision ‘should come as no surprise’
Mike Pence will not endorse for president Donald Trump, the man he served as vice-president for four years but whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged as they attacked Congress on January 6. “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the former Indiana governor and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told Fox News on Friday. Asked why, given that he previously promised to endorse the eventual nominee, Pence mentioned 6 January 2021, the day a mob attacked Congress and Trump was reported to have told aides Pence “deserved” to be hanged for refusing to block certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. But Pence placed more emphasis on policies pursued by Trump as he has secured the Republican nomination, a success achieved despite now facing 88 criminal charges under four indictments and suffering multimillion-dollar civil penalties over his business affairs and a rape allegation a judge called “substantially true”. Pence said he was “incredibly proud of the record of our administration. It was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure, and saw conservatives appointed to our courts in a more peaceful world. “But that being said, during my presidential campaign” – which he ended in October, months before the first vote, in Iowa – “I made it clear that there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, and not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on January 6. “As I have watched his candidacy unfold, I’ve seen him walking away from our commitment to confronting the national debt. I’ve seen him starting to shy away from a commitment to the sanctity of human life.” The US national debt ballooned under Trump and Pence. On abortion rights, the supreme court to which Trump appointed three rightwingers did remove federal rights in 2022. But Republicans have since suffered a succession of election defeats as Democrats campaign on the issue. As Trump claims credit for appointing those justices, Democrats are positioning to make reproductive rights a central issue in November. Pence also cited Trump’s “reversal” on “getting tough on China and supporting our administration’s effort to force the sale of … TikTok”. Pence refused to speculate on why Trump has come out against forcing the sale by ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company. He said: “What I can tell you is that in each of these cases, Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. “And that’s why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign.” Most of Trump’s former rivals for the Republican nomination have now endorsed him. The last to drop out, the former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, has not. Opponents of Trump welcomed Pence’s decision not to endorse. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican who retired from Congress over his opposition to Trump, said simply: “Good job Mike Pence.” Tommy Vietor, an aide to Barack Obama turned political commentator, said: “I did not expect this from Mike Pence. Credit to him for showing some backbone. This is a big deal.” But Pence, who has outlined plans to spend $20m this year in an attempt to shape the conservative agenda, told Fox News he would not vote for Biden. “I’m a Republican,” he said. “How I vote when that curtain closes, that’ll be for me.” The Guardian (UK)

Biden taunts Trump during annual media gala
President highlighted the age of his Republican opponent and was bullish about attacks against his family Our Foreign Staff 17 March 2024 • 2:28pm
Mr Biden is trailing in a number of polls and faces concerns about his age
Joe Biden joked about Donald Trump and his own age at an annual media dinner on Saturday.
“One candidate’s too old and mentally unfit to be president,” the 81-year-old Democrat quipped at the Gridiron Club in Washington. “The other guy’s me.”
Mr Biden was making his first speech as president at the annual white-tie gala for the US media and political elite, an event that Republican former president Trump addressed in 2018.
Mr Biden is trailing in a number of polls and faces concerns about his age, which he has tried to address by highlighting 77-year-old Mr Trump’s recent verbal slip-ups.
In his remarks, Mr Biden took a swipe at Republicans in Congress who have launched an impeachment inquiry into his son’s business dealings, saying they would “rather fail at impeachment than succeed at anything else”.
He added that Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar, sitting at the head table with Biden on the eve of St Patrick’s Day “took one look at Congress and he asked for another Guinness”.
Mr Varadkar and Mr Biden both pushed during a meeting at the White House on Friday for Republicans in Congress to stop blocking military aid for Ukraine to fight Russia’s invasion.
But Mr Biden then returned to his Republican president rival, saying that the Democrats’ election campaign would show how they rebuilt the US economy after the Covid-19 pandemic “without encouraging the American people to inject bleach”.
He was referring to an incident when Trump, as president, asked a top medical advisor whether virus victims could be injected with disinfectant to cure them.
“Look, I wish these were jokes, but they’re not,” added Mr Biden.
“Democracy and freedom are literally under attack. Putin’s on the march in Europe. My predecessor bows down to him and says, ‘Do whatever the hell you want’.”
In his own appearance at the Gridiron Club six years ago, Trump did trade unusually playful digs with the Washington press corps and also joked about North Korea and his own leadership style.
