[Captain Catnip]

Today, President Biden will warn of the threat to democracy from “MAGA Republicans” and election deniers in a prime-time address outside Philadelphia’s Independence Hall.

Not much more at the link but gifted in case it updates. I'm surprised that there haven't been any specific addresses until now about it.

The semi-facists, or rather what we all call full facists/Nazis/racists, will certainly be very bigly upset about this.

Biden's grown some balls as of late and is emboldened to call these fuckers out and I am here for it!

I want to know where Biden's new messaging is stemming from? It's fascinating to witness.

I think they saw some of the reaction to his more off the cuff comments from last week directly calling things out.  This is what people want.  I truly think it's what he believes privately, but he's been careful about his public comments.  But the Biden's "Come on, Man!" side is really authentic in my opinion and it's what I want him to do.

His comment about Trump just "declaring" things unclassified last week was great - exactly how I thought it should react - a more polite "are you fucking kidding me?"

I wonder if all of the main channels will carry the address. You know they would if it was Trump.

Give no fucks Biden has been a highlight the last few weeks.  I love seeing him putting clips on the POTUS social media.  When he answers a gotcha questions as he walks out the door if a delight.

He has a new social media content manager that started in August (excuse my lack of actual title). She previously ran the state of NJ Twitter account which was a work of art- definitely worth falling down that rabbit hole!

Dark Brandon kicked the shit outa that speech and Magats. More of this.

[Bad Dingo]

I'm curious about the protesters we kept hearing, like how far away were they etc.

Soooo much Republican whining this morning. The party of fuck your feelings is all up in their feelings today. So obnoxious.

@@@@ mention in my reply

Overall I was fine with most of the speech. I was disappointed in the part about Covid. Covid is not over and this statement was a slap in the face to the disability community. There are many people who do not feel safe participating in society right now. Sure our schools are open, but most of them have no mitigation/prevention measures in place. What long term damage are we doing to a generation of children by allowing them to be repeatedly infected? The seven day ave for deaths is over 500 people a day right now. How many people are dying from heart attacks/stroke/other issues after covid that is not be contributed to covid at all? That does not even factor in the impact of long covid on people and their lives.
