Politics round-up week 10/4

[pixy0stix]

I don't wanna think about this fuckface running already.

Trump, talked out of announcing a 2024 bid for now, settles on a wink-and-nod unofficial candidacy - www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-2024-campaign-candidacy/2021/10/03/73af3b12-21f8-11ec-b3d6-8cdebe60d3e2_story.html

The only way he's not going to be the 2024 nominee is if he dies. And if he does die, I give him only a 50/50 chance of being the nominee because there will be a sizable contingent that will still want to Weekend at Bernie's him onto the RNC stage.

I wonder if the fact that this is already coming up is why he's doing shit like this. Well and the fact that he's a petty piece of crap who is disconnected from reality and enabled by the ass kissers around him who haven't jumped ship to write books.

The fact that it's addressed to the "The Pulitzer Prizes" is so absurd.

I wonder who will primary him.

I truly don't know if I can handle another Trump election cycle.

[abs]

Gah. Not looking forward to Trump vs. Biden 2.0. I’m so tired of old white men.

And men in general because no thanks to DeSantis as well.

I can’t imagine Trump would actually run again. Im actually semi thinking Biden won’t either and push for Harris.

I’m already exhausted (mentally, emotionally, physically) thinking about a presidential election, period.

I thought Biden had said that he planned to be a one-term president.  I'm, like, 50/50 on thinking that he'll run again.  Idk.

I don't ever remember seeing this from him. There's been a lot of speculation (driven mostly from conservative circles) that this might be the case.

In March he was expecting a second run - www.npr.org/2021/03/25/981260663/biden-says-he-expects-to-run-for-a-second-term

I'm embarrassed for myself, but I must admit I am enjoying the snarky bits coming from Stephanie Grisham's book.

I want to say that was a quote from a long time ago, when he was hesitant to run at all. Here is an article I found from 2019. It of course leaves it up in the air given he will be 82 at the time of a re-election.

If Trump thinks he won the 2020 election, that would make him ineligible to run in 2024. He can't have it both ways.

I would be SHOCKED if he doesn’t run.

It was also announced today that his wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer: www.cnn.com/2021/10/04/politics/casey-desantis-breast-cancer/index.html

I keep seeing local blind items bad mouthing her. I don't think Biden is stepping back next election. And someone(s) around him is doing their best to cut her off at the knees.
