Slurring Trump's unhinged, endless RNC speech terrifies world
The Republican National Convention concluded with former President Donald Trump accepting the party's nomination for the 2024 presidential election. Trump’s speech, which lasted a record-setting 93 minutes, was filled with his usual rhetoric, including grievances, false claims, and divisive statements. He addressed the recent assassination attempt against him, attributing his survival to divine intervention, which raised questions about the narrative's plausibility, given an innocent bystander was killed. Trump revisited themes such as the "China virus," criticized Democrats, and mentioned his relationships with dictators like Kim Jong-un, asserting that they want him to return to power. Despite promises of a more unifying tone, Trump quickly reverted to his typical inflammatory style, including disparaging comments about Nancy Pelosi and promoting mass deportations. The disorganized speech included Trump officially accepting the nomination and a brief, awkward interaction with Melania Trump. The overall impression was that Trump remains unchanged following the near-death experience and continues to be focused on his familiar themes.
BREAKING: Biden accepting he will have to drop out of the race
A New York Times report, based on five sources, suggests President Biden is increasingly accepting he may not win in November and might drop out of the race. Top Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiff, and Jamie Raskin, have urged Biden to step down to avoid harming the party, with even former President Obama indicating Biden's path to victory is slim. Biden might soon announce his decision to not seek reelection while remaining president until the end of his term. There's speculation about whether he would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or suggest an open Democratic convention in August. Biden's current isolation due to Covid has slowed down the decision-making process. The sentiment is that while Biden's withdrawal carries risks, continuing his campaign might pose greater dangers for the Democratic Party.

OH NO: BIDEN HAS COVID
President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, leading to his temporary removal from the campaign trail and sparking calls from top Democrats for him to step aside. The White House promptly released a detailed medical report indicating that Biden, who is vaccinated and boosted, is experiencing mild symptoms and will isolate in Delaware while continuing his presidential duties. This development has significant political implications, especially in light of Donald Trump’s recent shooting incident, for which no medical update has been provided. Conspiracy theories have emerged suggesting that Biden’s diagnosis is a pretext for withdrawing from the race. Given that he is vaccinated and gets the best medical treatment available, the president will likely make a speedy recovery.

Trump sleeps through Don Jr & JD Vance speeches
During the third day of the Republican National Convention, former President Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep multiple times, notably during speeches by his son, Donald Trump Jr., and his vice-presidential running mate, JD Vance. Trump was seen struggling to stay awake, particularly during Vance’s speech, which was particularly unengaging. Vance’s speech included an anecdote about his grandmother owning 19 loaded handguns, which received an enthusiastic response from the crowd. Additionally, Vance attacked migrants, leading to chants of "send them back" from the audience. Despite Trump’s apparent dozing off, this incident has not been widely reported or scrutinized by the media, highlighting a stark contrast in media coverage.

How about a show where the real reason big money Dem's want Joe to quit--Kamila.
During the recent debate, Joe Biden was ill with the early stages of Covid. He probably thought it was the beginning of a bad cold, but it weakened him. He was unable to keep up with the debate because he was exhausted. This is not bullshit. Jeffrey Porturia is the asswipe. He sounds like the typical Trump groupie. F**k you, too. We don't want you here.
