One of Portland's 'most prolific graffiti vandals' in custody ( www.kgw.com )

Jerry Mijangos, 27, who allegedly uses the tag "KASR" in his graffiti, has been arrested and released multiple times in the past few years for alleged acts of vandalism, according to police. In Thursday's news release, PPB said it's aware of hundreds of criminal tags committed by Mijangos over the past two and a half years.

Joe Biden Suggests Trump Talks Like He Should Be “Committed” ( www.vanityfair.com )

Joe Biden has spent the last several months laying out the reasons why it would be a terrible idea to give Donald Trump a second term in office—reasons that include everything from Trump’s assault on reproductive rights to his pledge to be a dictator only “on day one.” And on Wednesday, the president added another entry...

Nobody likes Harris. The only way she's President is if Biden dies.

Will never happen as long as Trump is the candidate.

Here's a scenario:

  1. Trump gets disabled, either medically or legally, whatever.

  2. Republican convention in July picks a new candidate.

  3. Biden dusts his hands off, goes "My work here is done..." and steps aside.

  4. Democratic convention in August picks a new candidate.

Same only in Oregon. Harris just isn't a good candidate, she hasn't been a particularly effective Vice President and seems to be the source of her own problems.

“You said the 1023 is the most corroborating piece of information you have,”

“It corroborates but it doesn’t change the fundamental facts,”

No, that's NOT what an FD-1023 does...

https://socxfbi.org/SFSA/SFSA/Featured-Articles/Message-from-the-FBI-on-the-FD-1023-Request-from-Congress.aspx

"the FD-1023 is the form our special agents use to record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources (CHSs). FD-1023s merely document that information; they do not reflect the conclusions of investigators based on a fuller context or understanding. Recording this information does not validate it, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI in our investigations."

It's the federal form equivalent of "Some... body once told me..."

Running a primary against a sitting president is a fast road to losing the election.

Nothing will happen at the Democratic convention unless Trump is removed during the Republican convention a month earlier.

Biden is the de facto head of the Democratic party. He's not going anywhere unless he chooses to.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

West is going to need to get on the ballot in more states than just Alaska and Oregon if that's going to happen. LOL.

In the end, it will be West at 1 to 2% of the vote and Stein at 5 to 6% of the vote, same as usual for fringe candidates.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

That's never been the way it has worked. The sitting president for either party is the candidate unless they choose otherwise. See Johnson in '68.

The last time a sitting President had a serious primary challenger, Carter in 1980, they lost in a landslide.

The reasoning is simple:

If a sitting President doesn't have the confidence of the party, they don't have the confidence of the voters either.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

It's insignificant in a national election.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

No, the polling is only asking and reporting half the question:

"Do you think Biden is too old to be President?"

Yes, anyone with half a brain should think that.

"Will you vote for him anyway?"

If the alternative is Trump? Yes.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Nobody will ever get 100% of the vote, last time it was 51.3% Biden, 46.8% Trump, 1.9% "Other".

I could see Biden picking up a few points thanks to the Roe V. Wade issue. They need to hang that around Trump's neck like a fucking albatross.

But the question is, can Biden win in the RIGHT states? That's still up in the air. Winning the popular vote is meaningless.

Pennsylvania - Trump is up +2 to +5 depending on other candidates.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/pennsylvania/

Michigan - Trump +4 to +5.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/michigan/

Wisconsin - Trump +2 to +4.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/wisconsin/

Biden cannot win without Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, and how well did that work out for Jill Stein after 2016?

Pro-tip - it did nothing.

The debates are controlled jointly by the DNC and the RNC. They aren't going to allow contrary opinions.

The only way this changes is if the Debates are taken away from the parties and turned back over to an independent organization like it used to be before 1988.

Even then, the League was only in charge from 1976 to 1987. Prior to their involvement there had not been a debate since Nixon/Kennedy in 1960(!)

https://www.lwv.org/league-women-voters-and-candidate-debates-changing-relationship

The reason being, primarily, that anyone watching television saw Nixon as being a sweaty weasel who lost the debate, but anyone listening to radio assumed Nixon was a strong arguer who won the debate.

Ozma's opinion is that of the optimistic juvenile. They're absolutely wrong, but it's going to take them one or more failed election cycles to learn that. It's OK to be optimistic, the realism will creep in later.

It largely depends on the poll, but the reporting is often faulty as well.

Even if Biden were committing genocide in Gaza, which let's be 100% clear here, he is not.

Trump is not functionally different when it comes to Israeli policy and for the same reason... both Biden AND Trump want those fat, fat Israel PAC campaign contributions.

Where they differ is that Trump wants to bring the worst Israeli policies HERE.

Remember when Israel illegally invaded Lebanon to set up a "security zone"?

https://www.britannica.com/event/2006-Lebanon-War

Yeah, about that... Trump would do the same to Mexico.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/donald-trump-mexico-military-cartels-war-on-drugs-1234705804/

Oh, and... he'd jail his political opponents...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/30/trump-interview-jail-political-opponents-glenn-beck

and... he admits to wanting to be a dictator...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-hannity-dictator-authoritarian-presidential-election-f27e7e9d7c13fabbe3ae7dd7f1235c72

If you're legitimately serious about avoiding genocidal policies, your ONLY choice is to vote for Biden, because a Trump win will bring those policies here.

There is literally no comparison between Trump and Biden.

I don't know which other four you're talking about, but Atlanta's Cop City has been in the works since before Biden was elected and (as near as I can tell) has nothing to do with the IDF.

Frankly, the cops are bad enough without IDF help:

Oh boy... Navalny, despite being a right wing asshole, was not a Nazi.

Biden supporting Israel is immaterial to the ongoing genocide because Israel has all the weapons and funding they need, they aren't using OUR weapons to kill people in Gaza.

Biden is supporting Israel because he wants the Israel PAC fundraising dollars.

https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=Q05

Oh, it's definitely inexecusable, but it's not the same as him personally committing genocide, which he is not.

Manson manipulated people into doing his bidding to foment the larger race war "Helter Skelter", Bibi requires no such manipulation and, in fact, is working in direct opposition to US interests.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Then when would Biden bypass congress 3 times now to provide additional weapons to Israel

Again, he wants the fat, fat campaign donations from pro Israel interests. Especially in an election year.

https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=Q05

"One of, if not the most, powerful international issue lobby is that of the pro-Israel crowd. Well-financed and politically powerful, the pro-Israel lobby is a major force on American foreign affairs that looks to continue America’s military and fiscal support of the Jewish nation-state."

There is no equivalent on the Palestinian side.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Biden has ZERO power to stop it because Bibi's genocide is not dependent on anyone elses participation. It's an engagement by Israel and Israel alone.

Biden could cut off support tomorrow and demand a cease fire, Bibi would ignore him.

The only way to stop Bibi would be to remove him and that is not going to happen, not by the United States.

Israel has been using white phosphorus for YEARS. Yes, it comes from the US, it didn't get there because of Biden.

2009 - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jan/21/gaza-phosphorus-shells

https://www.newsweek.com/israel-white-phosphorus-gaza-claims-false-idf-1591107

You have to understand, the US has been funding and supplying Israel for DECADES. They have a stockpile of weapons and money and don't NEED a red cent from Biden.

He's going to give it to them regardless, but they don't NEED him.

jordanlund Mod ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

We do know because of statements Bibi has made:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/netanyahu-ignores-biden-doubles-down-on-opposition-to-two-state-solution

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/12/18/netanyahu-biden-feud-israel-ally/

If we were serious about getting Israel's attention, we would cut off all funding and aid, recognize a Palestinian state, and break Israel's illegal blockade on Gaza.

Which we'll never do.
