SAN FRANCISCO

Why won’t President Biden walk away from all this gracefully and let a younger person who would totally destroy Trump on election day step up? Instead, Biden with an arrogance and sense of entitlement is bringing down democracy in America as we know it.
Doing Nothing About Biden Is the Riskiest Plan of All
You don’t need another pundit telling you that Mr. Biden should quit the race, although I’m among those who emphatically think he should – Nate Silver in New York Times – 7.3.2024
Is this awful or what?
The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that Trump’s criminal activities are immune from prosecution. Which means his Federal and State criminal prosecutions will stop dead in their tracks. Given Biden’s abysmal performance last Thursday night and, with many Democrats beseeching him to drop out of the presidential race, Trump will probably win the election.
Liz was quite right when she said a couple of months ago that America wants a guy like Trump. It’s the stupid American people that makes a guy like this possible. Much of the world is now turning hard right Fascist.
A month ago the right wing did very well in the European parliament elections. This past weekend the far right in France did very well in parliamentary elections. And, in Russia you have a brutal thug like Putin. With few exceptions Trump is symptomatic of the global malaise.
Here, even in San Francisco, the Fascist vibe is becoming fashionable.
There’s nothing else to say when you realize the Supreme Court decision criminalizing homelessness came about in large part because of the Brief filed by San Francisco. Which is cited eight times in the Opinion. This is so fucked up.
Trump was in San Francisco a month ago and raised a lot of money.
I just do not understand how anyone can vote for Trump. He’s a racist through and through. Speaks ill of every immigrant and is threatening retribution on his opponents. And now the Supreme Court has handed the keys of the Imperial Presidency to Trump.
I just so much don’t want to be here on election day. The whole notion is too revolting and, yes, scary. I’m almost 77. Something that is almost impossible to decipher. I think about 81 year old Biden and I think of myself. I certainly don’t have the full on energy I used to possess. The presidency is a total 24/7 job without respite. Athletes know when it’s time exit. Biden needs to realize the game is over for him.
