That's fixed with a good campaign. There's still time. He would have two jobs, one acknowledging Biden's accomplishments you talk about, and two establishing a further continuation of those himself as a candidate. Sorry three, he has to keep pointing out how bad Trump is.

Yes he can, Newsom has been a man of the team. All he has been doing, and would have to continue if taken the torch, is praising Biden's term and his accomplishments, which there are. He in fact speaks in behalf of Biden better than Biden himself, I watched his debate with DeSantis. He is not perceived as a rival of Biden, because he really is not. Biden is too old, he has declined more than expected, that's the reality. I was with Bernie back when they had their primaries, but Biden won, so got in his boat against a greater evil. I was still going to support him now, I thought Cenk Uygur was wrong when he was asking for a replacement, I thought Biden could give the race. But that illusion fell in the debate, it was really a before-and-after moment, we've seen the king without clothes, or whatever that phrase is. Ideally, he would have retired with grace and let the primaries happen, but that train is gone. It's in moments of crisis when the Democratic party, or anyone, have to prove they can come up with solutions.

It's popular and truthful. Leaving the colonial times aside, the West has been directly involved in assassinating foreign leaders who wouldn't dance in their interest. Lumumba from Chad, or Allende from Chile, come to my mind. Of course, then horrible puppets were put in their place. They also intervened in many countries by putting weapons in the most mindless men they could find and giving them training. These practices have destroyed a lot of countries in Central America and Africa. The CIA hands in Honduras has been devastating, for example. It's impossible to develop as a country like that, they wouldn't be perfect, but they would be much better without those constant interventions. They aren't even allowed to achieve a blue stage, not because they can't on their own, but because external forces prevent it. I wanted to believe that those practices were part of the past, and that the USA and the West would be a positive leading force in the world, I don't believe that anymore. Maybe at a lower level, but this is what is happening in Ukraine too, cue included at some point, and training the most Nazi guys they could find too. The motives in this case would also be to cause a threat to Russia, apart from extracting from Ukraine itself. Zelensky is a puppet, in this case at least he was chosen by them, but he's still a foreign agent. Ukrainians were fooled, I don't blame them, it happens. The best that can happen to the world is that the USA and the West lose unequivocal hegemony, and a new balance is reached between different actors in the world. China without a doubt, and Russia quite too.

The two of us are humanitarian surgeons. Together, in our combined 57 years of volunteering, we’ve worked on more than 40 surgical missions in developing countries on four continents. We’re used to working in disaster and war zones, of being on intimate terms with death and carnage and despair. None of that prepared us for what we saw in Gaza this spring. Hard to read article, but very recommendable. International aid workers share what they have lived and seen in Gaza.

I live in Spain, I was born here.

You can defend your country from the inside or outside if it goes bad. If the cost of staying may be high, I would understand you leaving. But don't rush into a decision yet, don't stress about it more than needed. Canada is very close, and has universal healthcare. Israel is in economic trouble at best, and on the brink of a war at worst. Europe, I don't know, I don't see very good times ahead.

I understand her position, and while Biden is a candidate, some discretion about the internal talks they may be having is prudent. Maybe he is not quitting after all, all these are rumors, so we'll see. She makes the point that Biden has part of the support of older people who vote a lot. That's important, but Democrats need more than that demographic to win, and right now they have lost plenty compared to four years ago. Also, if he drops, he doesn't need to be put in an asylum right away, he could still be present in the campaign supporting whoever candidate would be chosen, and make a public transition in a way. What you can't do is ask people to believe Biden is an appropriate man to lead the country for the next four years. Nobody in his right mind can believe in that statement after what we have seen.

That doesn't give to what happened in Pennsylvania a bigger relevance, than any other event happening in the world, from the perspective of a greater being. Another thing is what is relevant for the people living today from a geopolitical point of view, and what some people want to spiritually attribute to it, but that would be on them, not on god.

I'm spiritual to a good extent, I think there are ways to connect or disconnect from a greater being, let's say. But it's not god moving the pieces like a person playing a board game. God didn't make the guy miss the shoot, the guy missed it himself. This happens, it's not part of a plan, at least not more than everything else in the universe.

The shooter missed. Like basketball players miss or hit decisive points. Spiritually speaking, whatever we call god wasn't more present in that event than in everything else happening in the world.

It would still be a missed shot, no matter what target, not a miracle. It really happens.

No. Luck = Luck A missed shot is not even that uncommon, ask soldiers or hunters.

God didn't intervene, Trump was lucky, and this happens too. Trump is not chosen by god, he is an evil son of a bitch, probably a pedophile according to the evidence like his good friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the visits to his island, and the case that a girl filed against him, which dropped for the sake of her life.

I would like Gavin Newsom, he crushed DeSantis without effort, and can do the same with Trump. After all the disappointment that Biden has provided, not only for his age and decline, I think the Democrat base deserves something to hold and say, okay, we'll support this one. Someone who can articulate with clarity, point out all the things that need to be pointed out about Trump, Republicans, and their bullshit, and propose better policies to look forward to. He has been loyal to Biden all along, so if his party decided him to run, I assume Biden would endorse him too, and put behind him all the support he got in 2020. It may be Kamala, but she can't articulate as well as Newsom in real-time, which would be much preferable. Seems like the kind of politician who can rehearse some lines, and then put them out in a rally, but not much further than that. She is more likable than Hillary Clinton at least, who was the worst. She has a competent professional look, I guess, but she mostly needs to continue denouncing Trump, selling what the previous administration has done, and show she can go further than that. Whoever gets in the race, needs the endorsement of Biden, Obama, and Sanders from their party at least, and more support from the left-leaning media and also the online ones from the libs like Bryan Tyler Cohen, or Pakman, to even more to the left like TMR, TYT, Hasanabi, etc... They will buy almost anything that is not Biden, and I agree with them on that.

Well, are you volunteering them without asking? I haven't heard they want to do that.

There's almighty god.

You or anyone else? Who would be anyone else? Your cousin? In what setting? You accuse others like you are not hidden behind your computer yourself.

True, the move he made at that precise moment saved his life. If the shooter had shot one second earlier, he would be dead. I think he is in shock yet.

It's awful how we keep hearing so much terror. More bombing of schools, a father crying the loss of his son beaten with hammers... Just because Zionists want to replace the civilian people from a land with theirs, like they've been doing since their project in Palestine started, decades ago.

So the story is that a bullied boy took his dad's weapon, got into the rally, and almost killed the ex-president and candidate with a big chance to win again. Did he act completely alone? Hmm... Another point. People in the public were telling the officials that some guy with a weapon was crawling into a roof three minutes before the shooting. I'm not saying they could take the boy that fast, neither that they couldn't, but they certainly could stop the act and protect Trump until the boy was taken. A case of incompetence? That's what we got? Hmm...

I preferred Marjorie Taylor Greene as VP. What a pity...

It sounds like the worst of the two stages! I don't think it's only Trump, but the Western political reality nowadays. We may be getting into a mixed stage where big greedy corporations ally with fascists, and not in third-world countries. It's going to be bad. If he guessed that Trump would be shot in his ear, that's crazy precise for a medium or whatever that man is. Respect.

Also, South Africans who have visited Palestine claim that the apartheid that's happening there is even worse than the one that they suffered. A two-tier system that benefits the settlers, and is hostile to the Palestinians. The judicial system for example, but not exclusive. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/world/middleeast/icj-south-africa-palestinian-israel-un-court.html

At this point it's better Biden doesn't quit, because no replacement is going to beat the hero and martyr that survived an assassination attempt. So better to sacrifice the old man with no future, than burn another candidate in a lost cause. So Biden, go for it! (you decrepit SoaB)

Crazy times, I keep saying this! We hear the shots, he touches his ear, but there's no blood in his hand. It's only bloody when he stands up again after being surrounded by his security guards. Staged. Or he's been shot and he's lucky as fuck. Either way, this gets him the White House, if he hadn't it before.
