Biden becomes the emotional support Labrador America needs right now

So the inevitable has finally happened in the overblown drawn out attempt by the 2 party political establishment to attract the attention of the citizens of the United States of Apathy.

Biden is the Candidate and Kamala Harris is his running mate.

After 4 years of the horror that has been Trump, traumatised Democrats were too exhausted for Bernie’s revolution and instead settled on the emotional support Labrador that is Joe Biden.

The rest of the civilised planet nervously hopes it is enough and that this Orange tumour of Trumpian fascism is amputated from the body politic of the largest Super Power on Earth.

Our Government answers to America’s Government and a return to sanity would be lovely.

I’m certain Trump will rip Biden to pieces, but the state of America has been so shattered by Trump’s obscene incompetence in terms of his handling of the pandemic, it seems difficult to imagine American’s being so masochistic to extend him a second term.

At this stage my feeling is that Trump’s only chance is to use Covid to suppress the votes of his opponents and/or launch some International gamble to manufacture an emergency that causes Americans to rally around the flag and/or declare the election rigged and attempt a Constitutional crisis until inauguration Day in January.

The fact however that Trump last week had a Senate committee report released that concluded Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman (Paul Manafort) passed internal campaign information to “a Russian intelligence officer,” alongside his  2016  campaign chief executive Steve Bannon getting arrested at sea and charged with embezzling money that had been raised from Trump supporters for the building of a privately funded wall on the U.S.-Mexico border alongside a federal judge ruling that a New York City district attorney had the right to access Trump’s tax returns while investigating him for potential campaign finance, bank, and tax fraud crimes – the fact those three things all happened last week and none of it has punctured Trump is a reminder of how Trump has managed to control the narrative by endlessly dominating it with ever increasing outrageous absurdities so with this election, nothing is certain and everything is at risk.

  1. I understand that Trump is offensive to you Martyn, including the rest of mainstream media.
    You realise Joe Biden authored the crime bill in the 90s, which many people refer to as the reason for mass incarceration?
    You realise Donald Trump signed the first step act which has been responsible for thousands being released from prison?

    • Off white: “You realise Joe Biden authored the crime bill in the 90s, which many people refer to as the reason for mass incarceration?”

      Biden’s best days – in terms of his cognitive abilities – are behind him.

      Watching him on what passes now for the campaign trail puts me in mind of Ronald Reagan in his bid for a second term. When the whisper was that he had Alzheimers. Even toward the end of his first term, there were signs that all was not well with him. Even this far away from the action, we heard scuttlebutt about it.

  2. ” the fact those three things all happened last week and none of it has punctured Trump is a reminder of how Trump has managed to control the narrative by endlessly dominating it with ever increasing outrageous absurdities so with this election, nothing is certain and everything is at risk.”
    No it isn’t! It is a reminder that spurious charges have been laid against Trump and his supporters by the Democrat establishment throughout his term in office and his voters see last week as a completely expected continuation of that campaign. The courts can’t possibly process these charges before the election so it matters not how valid or spurious they are, they will have served their purpose. Except that his voter base has seen it all before.
    Biden will indeed be an obedient pooch for his masters.

    • David Stone: “It is a reminder that spurious charges have been laid against Trump and his supporters by the Democrat establishment throughout his term in office….”

      Exactly. I agree with the rest of your comment as well.

      The Democrats – and Hillary Clinton – have never accepted her defeat at the 2016 election. Add to that the fact that Trump is Republican, and the msm, being irredeemably liberal, hates the Republicans and slags them off as comprehensively as possible throughout their terms in office, along with the fact that Trump, not being either pollie or diplomat, reacts thin-skinnedly to critique, and the US has the current situation.

      A family member who is very knowledgeable about US politics (and international affairs and history generally), hopes that Biden wins. Because, in said family member’s view, the Americans deserve him. Heh! It’s hard to disagree.

      Throughout my longish life, I’ve taken an interest in politics, both local ad international. The rise of the internet has allowed access to warts-and-all stuff about US politics and its presidents. They’ve all been variably awful, all the way back to Eisenhower, the earliest one I remember. The possible exception was Jack Kennedy, but even he was a hard dog to keep on the porch, qu’on dit. In any event, both he and his brother were assassinated before they could do anything serious to challenge the Washington Establishment.

      The thing about Trump is that he hasn’t started a shooting war. Yet. Unlike his predecessor, the snake Obama. It was only the latter’s pusillanimity which saved the world from the quagmire that Syria would have been, had there been a large-scale invasion of western troops there. It certainly wasn’t for want of false-flag attacks in Syria. Obama was smooth-tongued, able to give a good speech; in every other respect, though, he was as awful as any of his predecessors.

      One of the worst presidents was LB Johnson. A Democrat, for those too young to know. In the mid-60s, he came to NZ to strongarm the then PM (the Nat Holyoake, again for those too young to know) into sending troops to his cockamamie war in Vietnam. Holyoake was (rightly) sceptical about the point of sending anybody there.

      However. Johnson threatened our continuing meat and wool trade with the US, if NZ didn’t join up. Holyoake caved in. But he agreed only to volunteers, and only from the defence forces. No civilians. A couple of years ago, I was talking to an Australian about this. He’d been conscripted, and was stunned to hear that there’d been no conscription here. Australians in general uncritically support Uncle Sam. One doesn’t hear there the critique we have here.

  3. Trump destroy America in four years?
    Surely not possible: it was in such great shape when he took over after Obama’s 8 years of excellent stewardship.

  4. We have known for a long time (at least as far back as the Bill Clinton years) that the Democrats are corrupt and toxic.

    So, now they have wheeled out the armchair man, celebrator of the murder of women and children at Waco, up to his eyeballs in corrupt deals in Ukraine, and accused of being a serial rapist.

    Question 1. Will the US remain intact until the election?

    Question 2. Will Biden get out of his chair and do something? Anything?

    Question 3. Will Biden last long enough to take office if elected?

    • And how many sexual cases against Trump are before the courts or have been compared to Bidens one. Corruption is spelt TRUMP.

      • bert: “And how many sexual cases against Trump are before the courts or have been compared to Bidens one. Corruption is spelt TRUMP.”

        I think that you’re missing the point here. All US presidents in my lifetime have been awful, and in drearily similar ways. Biden has “form” for corruption and dodgy sexual behaviour. No getting around it. A fortiori, he appears not to have a full deck in the upper storey, as the saying goes: definitely not what the US needs right now, even if it would delight the Washington Establishment.

  5. oh yeah, that’s a teal victory for the “left”, eh friend of slumlords and other white collar criminals, Bradbury? LMAO

  6. If Biden is the answer what was the question again? Thats right–maintaining corporate control–and keeping the Military Industrial War Machine’s multi trillion budget topped up!

    The US is a failing state in so many ways, and the rescue will only come from the mass of the people becoming involved in political struggle and organisation.

    Yes Trump obviously has to go, but buckle in because the DNC and the other sellout candidates may have scuppered Bernie’s campaign, but they did not end the social movements that supported Sanders, let alone the structural, economic and social shitstorm the country is in.

  8. Democrats and Republicans get paid in the form of legal bribes and hush money to govern America not for the people who vote for them but the rich corporate elite which controls everything from the health system to the labour market.
    Yes Trump is outrageous and Biden is less than inspiring and has a walking frame that is not allowed to be seen in public and that is their choice on November 3rd.
    The election is far from decided and Trump if beaten only slightly will fight to stay in office and has the ability to mount a challenge in the U.S Supreme court.
    The votes for the house of reps all 435 of them and 35 members of the senate will be critical to both Trump and Biden and how the next two years will pan out.

    • Tuibelle: “we’re fucked either way…”

      No we aren’t. US presidents aren’t our presidents. US domestic policy has no effect on us, one way or the other. US foreign policy might affect us, but it isn’t the presidents who determine that – as Trump has found out, to his discombobulation – but the Washington Establishment.

      And it would only possibly be wielded to our disadvantage if our government started acting as if this is an independent and non-aligned polity. No sign thus far that the current lot has the cajones for that sort of thing.

  10. Does it really matter, I heard Americans saying who is the lesser evil and they seem to think Biden is. The world is full of evil leaders. And many of these leaders do not want to relinquish their power, in the meantime many of their people are suffering. As a small country we can only do and say so much we are powerless to act all we can do is talk and hope.

    • We can show an example. And that is the best any country can do. If America would do that te world would be at peace.

  12. Keep watching the battleground states – these have tightened up over the past month. If Trump gets within the margin of error he wins these states due simply to voter enthusiasm.

    What’s worse Judith or Trump winning?
