The final three presidential contenders:
An 80 yr old, class-war street preacher who never had a real job and doesn't believe in capitalism and recently survived a heart attack.
A 77 yr old career politician whose been compulsively running for president since the late 80s and appears to be suffering from early-onset dementia.
A 72 yr old braggart narcissist bully who came from Reality TV, eats McDonald's every day, and spray tans.
I fucking dare you to write a more ridiculous script than the one reality has laid before us all.

^^^ I couldn't agree more. Bloomberg (basically he's Trump Lite, with far more similarities than distinctions from The Donald) has folded his tent, so it looks like I'll be leaving that box blank this Fall.
But hold up -- I haven't uploaded my Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Buttplug cartoons yet.

Well as usual, the three-ring circus that is the Donald Trump presidency is nothing if not entertaining and QUITE revealing.
In my humble opinion, the jokes about this guy basically write themselves!
From the New York Times:
FOR TRUMP, CORONAVIRUS PROVES TO BE AN ENEMY HE CAN'T TWEET AWAY
Peter Baker
The New York Times, March 9, 2020, 8:11 AM EDT
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Defending against criticism of his handling of the coronavirus, President Donald Trump suggested the other day that he could hardly have been expected to be ready for such an unexpected crisis.
“Who would have thought?” he asked during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nerve center for the government’s response to the outbreak. “Who would have thought we would even be having the subject?”
Actually, quite a few people would have thought, and did — including the officials in his own White House who were in charge of preparing for just such a pandemic only to have their office shut down in a reorganization in 2018. “The threat of pandemic flu is the No. 1 health security concern,” one of the officials said the day before that happened two years ago. “Are we ready to respond? I fear the answer is no.”
For a president who lives in the moment, rarely planning too far ahead, the coronavirus has proved to be a leadership challenge he was not prepared for either. The outbreak that has rattled the nation does not respond to Trump’s favorite instruments of power: It cannot be cowed by Twitter posts, it cannot be shot down by drones, it cannot be overcome by party solidarity, it cannot be overpowered by campaign rally chants.
Trump, who is at his strongest politically when he has a human enemy to attack, has seemed less certain of how to take on an invisible killer. The role of calming natural leader is not one that has come easily as he struggles to find the balance between public reassurance and Panglossian dismissiveness. He has predicted that the virus will “miraculously” disappear on its own with warmer weather, suggested a vaccine will be available soon and insisted anyone who wants to be tested can be — all overstated or inaccurate.
He has expressed an astonishing lack of knowledge while at the same time claiming to be a medical savant. He has treated the crisis as a partisan battle, wearing his red Keep America Great campaign cap to the CDC and calling the governor presiding over the state with the highest death toll a “snake.” He even admitted that he wanted to leave passengers stranded on a cruise ship rather than see statistics for the number of cases on American soil go up because it would look bad.
“If we really want to talk about what is going to potentially create panic in this country, it’s an administration that’s just not being straight with the American public about the extent of this epidemic and the real-life consequences that could be put upon Americans,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a prominent cardiologist who treated former Vice President Dick Cheney and wrote a book with him, said he was convinced that the Trump administration failed to move more quickly to test for the virus after it emerged in China because the White House did not want to admit the scope of the threat.
“When the story is finally written,” he said Sunday, “we’ll come to understand that tens of thousands of lives were placed at risk because of a political decision made by the president.”
Trump, who was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, rejected the criticism Sunday, pointing to the travel restrictions he imposed early on China, later adding limits or warnings to other affected places like Iran and parts of South Korea and Italy.
“We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus,” he wrote on Twitter moments after arriving at his golf club in West Palm Beach, where he played with several members of the World Series champion Washington Nationals. “We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!”
After initially brushing off warnings by his health secretary as “alarmist,” Trump in the last two weeks has taken a more assertive public role on the coronavirus, assigning Vice President Mike Pence to lead the government efforts and making multiple appearances to signal that he takes the threat seriously.
But he has also taken a business-as-usual approach to the rest of his schedule, refusing to cancel campaign rallies, fundraisers or social events even as other large gatherings of Americans are scrubbed. Asked by a reporter Saturday night if he was worried that infections were getting closer to the White House, Trump said, “No, I’m not concerned at all.”
The president then went inside Mar-a-Lago to host a lavish birthday party for former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr. and turns 51 on Monday, a preview perhaps of the celebration that may be held next month when Melania Trump turns 50. Among those spotted at the revelry were boldface names from Trump’s circle, including Pence, Lindsey Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz.
Trump happily introduced his visitor, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, to Carlson and other guests in a video shared on social media, boasting that he “gave him a good gift” by not imposing tariffs on Brazil and “that made him much more popular.” Bolsonaro laughed and agreed. A smiling Pence turned to the camera and playfully said, “Sí.”
The first lady did not make the trip to Florida, but she faced a fiddling-while-Rome-burns blowback of her own over the weekend after posting online photographs of herself in a hard hat overseeing the privately financed construction of a new tennis pavilion at the White House.
“I encourage everyone who chooses to be negative & question my work at the @whitehouse to take time and contribute something good & productive in their own communities,” she wrote on Twitter on Saturday, adding her anti-bullying slogan, “#BeBest.”
By the president’s own account, the coronavirus has been an education for him. He has acknowledged that “I didn’t know people died from the flu” — tens of thousands, in fact, each year in the United States — even though, as The Washington Post pointed out, his own grandfather died of influenza during the 1918 epidemic.
But he has credited himself with instinctive understanding of the science. “I like this stuff. I really get it,” he said at the CDC on Friday. “People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
Trump rejected criticism of the slow distribution of test kits, framing it in terms evoking his battle against impeachment. “The tests are all perfect,” he told reporters, “like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect, right?” — a reference to the rough transcript of his telephone call with Ukraine’s president that led to his own impeachment for abuse of power.
The president’s less-than-perfect pronouncements, however, left public health officials straining to reconcile them on the Sunday talk shows. Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about a White House aide’s assertion that the coronavirus had been “contained,” Dr. Jerome Adams, the surgeon general, said: “Well, this is a novel virus. It’s a new situation. And the messaging, quite frankly, is hard.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also appeared to walk back the president’s claim that “anyone who wants a test can get a test,” saying on “Fox News Sunday” that it would actually be up to a doctor.
Trump has become such a polarizing figure that even when he is not necessarily wrong, many do not trust him. On Sean Hannity’s Fox News show last week, he called the World Health Organization’s estimated fatality rate of 3.4% “a false number,” saying “my hunch” was that it would be under 1%. It sounded as if he were substituting his uneducated “hunch” for the judgment of professionals.
But in fact, he was reflecting what he had been told by health experts, including Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield, the CDC director, who have concluded that once the full scope of unreported infections is known, the number of deaths will most likely represent a smaller share, possibly “considerably less than” 1%. The WHO has also said the rate may fall.
Still, at his appearance at the CDC, Trump had no explanation for why his White House shut down the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense established at the National Security Council in 2016 by President Barack Obama after the 2014 Ebola outbreak, stammering to suggest the coronavirus had been a surprise.
“Well, I just don’t think — I just don’t think that somebody is going to — without seeing something, like we saw something happening in China,” Trump said. “As soon as they saw that happening, they essentially — not from the White House. I mean, you know, we don’t need a lab in the White House. But they saw something happening.”
Elizabeth Cameron set up the global health security directorate at the White House for Obama before turning it over to Rear Adm. R. Timothy Ziemer, who ran it for Trump until May 2018, when he was pushed out and the directorate folded into other parts of the National Security Council. Had it still been around, it would have been charged with preparing for exactly the situation now facing the country.
“I think it would have made a difference,” Cameron said Sunday. “Monitoring and preparing for every eventuality and having a person and a directorate accountable for that is really important and could have been important in this case.”

It's not taken out of context either, he just sounds like a loon. he always sounds like a complete buffoon if you don’t listen to the whole thing. Are you about to pretend that you watched his whole press conference a week or so ago, instead of reading or watching a brief précis? He’s a rambler, but he’s perfectly competent as president when compared to absolutely everyone else up for the job. In fact, compared to all of them he’s George fucking Washington, and when he speaks “as president” he’s as good as it gets. If you compare “prepared speeches” to those of any other president, he stacks up well. Unlike other presidents, however, Trump goes off the cuff and riffs, live, often. He’s been more accessible to the press than any other president in history I don’t really dislike Trump. Nor do I particularly like him, but I love him as president, because his shit talk has painted him into a corner where he has no choice but try do a good job.

My biggest problem with his briefings on the virus is he lies. All you have to do is tell the truth and you have handled it as well it could be handled. But he couldn't do it, had to be egotistical and lie to try to make the numbers sound good.
It's pretty insulting to George Washington, a man who by all accounts did not want to be president. Comparing him to an egomaniac who doesn't believe in state's rights is as silly as any of the bullshit you've spewed on here.

George Washington was the man, but he was a political animal, and did maneuver his way into the presidency. He was a great man, a good man, but also great at managing his own brand. States rights is a ship that sailed. If I am to pick between Trump and a states’ rights president, I reject Trump. Such a choice is not offered me. Trump’s official actions in the capacity of president,, have been overall satisfactory and occasionally exceptional. He talks trash and makes me cringe, and then makes sound executive decisions. Is there a candidate that you think would make a better president AND potentially win the election? If the answer is “no” (it is) then you’re a Dunderdildo for huffing and puffing about hating trump, instead of counting your blessings. *edited to include word: “dunderdildo”

You’ll be in this forum sucking that running mate off and voting for Biden knowing that the VP is going to take over

I think you guys under estimate people younger than you are. Kamala Harris will help get some older black vote. Young folks just aren't divided down racial lines the same way. If Biden puts her as his VP, that's guaranteed to turn off a big portion of the democrat voting base even more than he already does by himself.
Policy wise, I don't see any point in voting for Biden. The main issues I want to vote on are Healthcare, actual working class economics (not middle income earners), human rights, environmental issues, and drug policy. I have asked no less than 25 times for people to explain to me where Biden is even moderately different from Trump on these issues. At least Trump isn't going to push gun control as his keystone issue. Biden has literally yelled at working class voters he's interacted with. At least Trump panders while he bends the working class over.

Beto, Warren, and Sanders were candidates that I just couldn't ever get on board with. Biden is the only Presidential candidate I ever donated to (2007) but I've added him to the no list. It's not just this cycle with the gaffes/decline but that is a big part of it. I actually feel like it is bordering on immoral for his team to keep him in on this.
The conspiracy side of me think it won't be a VP-takeover. I think he'll secure the nomination and upon routine medical check and consultation with his doctor and family, he will medically pull out. It won't be second place that gets the nod, nor Tulsi (man she could have been interesting if given a fair shake by media). I think it could be HRC. It seems like it both a right wingnut fantasy and a mysteriously perfectly aligned opportunity for her. I've thought it for a long time bc every time something happened the last two years, the media would slip her name into the headlines. Anyways, it's far fetched.
Anything can happen, but I think the DNC might wish that they coalesced behind a non-Biden establishment figure a while back. They had to know what kind of state Biden was in. I'm not saying that a candidate has to stand around for an hour each day with reporters, but Biden is a currently a liability over 15 mins with prepared remarks. They either overhyped way to early, or discarded when they could have survived and supplanted Biden.

Race has nothing to do with it, it's all about class. If anything you are surrendering to your overlords. Only they aren't black like in your imagination, they are old white guys and the finance bro sons of those old white guys.

Despite Trump's mealy-mouthed, seemingly poorly informed, rambling and semi-coherent statements about the COVID-19 virus, the Democrats simply will NOT let him win the Stupidity battle.
Here in Michigan, new governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has declared a State of Emergency after TWO confirmed cases are discovered here. Of course it's REALLY to shake loose a few more BILLIONS of federal funds to misspend on things they can't get authorization for, through any conventional means.
Whitmer ran on a "Fix The Damn Roads" promise (roads are notoriously bad in MI, despite VERY high road/transportation taxes)….and then proposed to raise the state's gasoline tax by 45 cents per gallon to pay for her "promise". Needless to say, the GOP controlled legislature told her to pound sand. So now she's trolling for Federal dollars she can re-direct as she sees fit. As always, the Comments on the Yahoo News feed regarding this matter are funny, and to the point:
"2 cases and we have a state of emergency, imagine that. This is the same lady that wanted to raise our gas tax 47 cents to fix the roads. Total box of rocks.
too funny - one case and they've declared a state of emergency??? paranoia at its' best.
Michigan declared a State of Emergency ( inaction and inability to act ) the day this B was elected.
I called it! Just in time california, day after primary = state of emergency, gotta get that primary in!!
What about that state of Emergency for the Roads ?
Amazing how a governor can declare a state of emergency for ANYTHING they choose. They don't need a single good reason. But all he'll breaks loose when our president tries to declare a humanitarian crisis on our southern border.
State of emergency over 2 cases that everyone knew were going to show up sooner or later. Too many panic buttons being pushed all over the country. It's important to take steps to minimize the spread but this thing is going to run its course regardless of any precautions taken. The common flu is creating more havoc than this thing is and it's killed several thousand since the flu season started. Don't hear any fuss about that!!
High correlation between doomsday climate change folks and state of emergency Corona folks
Two cases equals and emergency? There have been 20,000 plus deaths from the flu in the US since October 2019. Corona Virus is over-hyped.
Hey, our Gov... LOL. A sighting of this broad is like a sighting of a rare white elk here within the state.
Does any State need a female governor, they can have ours from Michigan.
ENGINEERED CRISIS.
The sky is falling...
wow, talk about an overblown money grab...This whole thing is so blown out of proportion that when a REAL pandemic comes, people will ignore it. Way to go Media.
Too Funny, yesterday nothing, today after one case is confirmed, Michigan has a state of emergency? If the Governor was willing to call it a state of emergency today over one case, why not a week ago when it was clear that all of the United States would be affected? Poor planning!
Declare a state of emergency get a bunch of federal dollars, this is why government can not manage a budget.
Ladies & Gentleman, the person elected to deliver the Democratic response to Donald Trump's 2020 State of the Union Address. Way to be a strong leader by instilling exaggerated fear & trying to get money for nothing.
Message went out Monday from dems to their states... we got you an 8.3B pot of borrowed money... better make your case to get yours now before someone else does.
Democrats!
Please send Rashida Tlaib to care for the patient.
Coronavirus 111,000 cases worldwide. Influenza 49,000,000 cases in the US alone since October 2019. You tell me which one you are more likely to contract.
This is the woman that began the hysteria over vape pens. It was found that the vaping danger came from illegal vape pens. She still soldiered on. She will go down as the worst governor to ever govern Michigan.
State of emergency for one case. You think there could be a panic?
Sometimes our govt just appears to have drank lead paint by the gallons. Im not paranoid about a fancy flu however when talking about the spread of a viral outbreak and you declare a state of emergency after its already in your population is just the definition of ignorance.
MI has 1800-2000 deaths per year due to the regular flu. Glad to see that they declared a state of emergency for 1 case.
More government corruption at its best! One case and you need federal money!
One case and they declare a State of Emergency? Is this a joke???
and when flu strikes over 1,000 people nothing is said.
Michigan also produced the WSJ guest on MSNBC who stated that $500 million dollars would be enough to give every USA citizen a million dollars. (The comment was a dig at Michael Bloomberg's expenditure of $500 million for his three-week Presidential campaign.)...Cyber.
Michigan declares a state of emergency as soon as their first case are discovered, but here in Illinois nothing for weeks and we’re in double digits.
Great move. Politicians creating more havoc and panic.
Well, she's a Democrat, so she is going to dramatize. I'm more interested in her makeover. She was a bit pudgy, and her first public appearance as governor featured a blouse that was straining to cover her chest. Betcha she'll turn up in the 2024 debates. Which makes this just posturing in front of the cameras to get national exposure. Plus some federal money, as a bonus.
How absurd can this situation possibly get? We obviously haven't hit rock bottom yet. And neither has the stock market. Until people start acting sane and rational again, everyone will suffer.
She's most interested in promoting her image in hopes of a federal appointment if the Dems take back the White House. This is pure grandstanding, nothing more. A pity....she was a pretty good legislator in her day. Horrible administrator.
OK, so she is hoping that due to her "incisive and decisive actions" she would be a great VP candidate... yeh, that's the ticket. Can't fix the roads, can't fix the virus, but a great political move.
Hysteria.
They want to run her as Biden's VP.
Michigan declared an emergency after seeing the Governor in a tight dress three sizes too small...gross!!"

Yeah, 'Ol Gret IS putting on a few pounds. I'd still hit it, except I'd have to shove something in her mouth (heh, heh) to stop her from yammering on about systemic racism, the Flint Water Crisis (they've gotten free water for FIVE YEARS now), etc. As a young legislator: Hey, I'm not sure about this one; I've no idea who the black dude is. Her dating life is none of my business. She probably met him in Flint, that's all I know. She sure looks happy, though. Yeah, she has a nice rack. It's almost like seeing Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman all over again! Except Gretchen appears to be growing horizontally, rather than vertically....

God damn the ignorance on this board still baffles me sometimes. Old crackhead cyber out here giving fashion and appearance advice to a fairly attractive woman. I mean what the fuck are you even babbling about? Don't you have old crackhead friends you can babble to like you're at a sewing circle?

Now I'm getting flashbacks from the 1950s, when I first saw that bad sci-fi flick: Allison Hayes was the rich wife: (Sadly, this was as "dirty" as movies got in the fifties) Yvette Vickers was the cheap floozy: Leading up to some CLASSIC special effects: ...And some obvious prop interaction for the Fifty-Foot Woman, whose clothing somehow grew with her!

I mean what the fuck are you even babbling about? Don't you have old crackhead friends you can babble to like you're at a sewing circle? Kiss my dick, Sir Lancelot. You're the fool that came on here years ago fantasizing about "leading this rebellion" -- in reference to the usual self-defeating black riots taking place in Ferguson, MO over an 18-year old black kid who'd been JUSTIFYABLY killed by a white cop he'd assaulted....while resisting arrest, after ATTEMPTING TO TAKE HIS GUN. You indulged in a little childlike pretending & posturing then, and you're doing so now. Lighten up, hero-boy. Somehow, you got that whole "picking sides" thing wrong then, and you've gone and done it again! And NOW you're the standup guy in the room, defending some clueless mermaid you probably never heard of, and have no concept of what a joke she has already become in this state. The over-the-top, patriarchal, borderline misogyny is simply for effect, to emphasize my contempt for her as a politician. Again, it's political satire/discourse. You don't have to like it; I have a right to post it, so get the hell over it, Mr. Fully-Woke Wimp. But please continue; No doubt you'll find some OTHER windmill to "tilt" with soon. ...And to aid your limited comprehension, I've included the definition of the phrase above, just because it's likely over your pointy little head: "Tilting at windmills means fighting imaginary enemies. The idiom tilting at windmills is first seen in the English language in the 1640s as “… fight with the windmills…” The verb tilting was soon substituted for the word fight. The term is taken from the classic Spanish novel, Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes."
