It’s called the DARVO manipulation technique. Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. It’s the go to approach Donald and his henchmen employ on the American people.
They don't want to confront the actual evil in the white House so they're deflecting about irrelevant topics. Anything Biden did is now for historical analysis not for the news cycle. Biden and Obama aren't in power any more.
He will continue to try to put the blame on everyone else to deflect from everything he and his minions are doing to destroy our country and the rule of law. And his base continues to buy his BS.
the republican shitstream media going to keep pumping out their 'Dems in dissarray' BS, and the stupid fucking imbeciles that watch and read their "news" are going to keep eating it up.
He’s old, and? We had a robust economy, the envy of the world under Biden. We had a capable Cabinet. Protections for our food and water. Sacrosanct public lands, and declining drug costs. Inviolable civil rights, and the possibility of fat cats having to pay their fair share of taxes. Again please.
Biden is in better health than Trump; all this 'being old' talk applies to Trump too.
Biden had a bad cold during his last debate, but that only amplified the rhetoric, even among elected Democrats.
Delaying the debate would have been the honorable thing to do, but Trump doesn't have honor.
This is how the Republican Machine distracts with persevering persuasion. They are counting on mind control, something some people somewhere (perhaps, Republicans) have been working on for Some Time! Shame Republican Party got hit bowside and sunk. (A mini metaphor that goes to its reputation.)
Republicans who are now in the find-out phase want to have an excuse for voting for Trump -- well, Biden was slower and might have needed a wheelchair -- without having to remember that a sharp and vibrant Black lady was actually nominated in Biden's place.
Tapper wrote a book and he's pushing it although I can't imagine how he can justify this when there's a freakin lunatic in the white house. Sane washing the hell outta Trump while he dumps on Biden. Ridiculous
We’re not talking about Biden. Only the Trump-lickers at @Politico.com are talking about Biden, and we all know how irrelevant Politico is to anything that’s actually happening.
It a distraction from the right!
They want to blame Biden for everything wrong with the country to keep us defending him, while the orange blob destroys our country.
Someone said we got to stop looking at what the orange blob says and focus on what he does.
The issue is not that Biden is old, but that top Democrats covered his decline up until it was too late. That's why Trump won. This is a pattern of Democratic leadership putting their own interests over the country going all the way back to 2016. They need to face facts or keep losing.
That's very true. But the focus is always that Biden was/is old and incapable of doing his job... Even if a 'team' was propping him up. who cares? They got good stuff done and that's all that matters. He shouldn't have run again, but if he'd won. he'd still be far, far better than Trump.
Trump won because more folks voted for him. Biden did not run in case you hadn’t noticed. Plus there was plenty of campaign time for Kamala. Remember the surge of hope and optimism?
Media: "Oh, it wasn't our fault Trump got elected because we questioned ad nauseum Biden's fitness for office, while we tried to sanewash Trump! It was... it was... wait, ooh, look! A cover up (about Biden)!!!"
Exactly!
And a big FU to all the Dems jumping on the bandwagon now.
I have been a lifelong Dem, and have never been more ashamed of my party than I have been since they forced Biden out, and now happily bash him.
The only time it might be beneficial to discuss past policy accomplishments and failures is in a strategy meeting to formulate a plan for the next phase for the party. But, it should not be discussed on social media. 1/3
Not to point the finger at any one person or group of people, but to figure out what might be done differently to make for a better outcome. We need positive energy, not negative. Forward thinking, not backward gazing. 2/3
What are the top burning 3-5 issues?
What is the Democratic plan to address these issues directly? No rhetoric, solid step by step plans.
What is the message to the people?
Who are the messengers? 3/3
It’s a distraction … nothing to see here just our country becoming a fascist country. I’m sure Tapper and CNN knew the best time to launch a book about Biden They’re idiots or are we the idiots
Because Fox News is running 1.5 minutes of tape, over and over, and its all their viewers are seeing right now. I'd be surprised if they've covered the Walmart price increases. Tuned in that night, and there were 🦗🦗🦗 about it.
Yeah, this is what I think. People just don't talk about politics. It's a heated topic where nobody has any facts. And there are SO many places where talking about it isn't allowed; it's become taboo to even bring it up.
The GOP are happy with everyone being politically illiterate
You mean the guy who at one time was in a position to stop all this nonsense? Yes, it's all in the past but he is still part of the picture. Use his example to learn from. Namely, don't coddle felons. Don't leave them free to run for president. Stop being afraid of the brainwashed maga cult.
I am like u of course here comes the tape when we have more problems and stuff to be worried about,I am tired of this DO not get distracted that is what they want if u noticed they just happen to do it know,need to worry about the clown is doing now prices going up Tariffs do not fall for it
I'm still trying to figure out why we're doing ANYTHING but removing the fascist felon rapist and throwing him in prison for the rest of his life
Its crazy that we just have to keep going to work like everything is normal while the people who could have prevented this just let it keep rolling along
We must stop this fascist regime. We can’t use the normal channels because they are broken. The GOP are complicit in treason. Most effective tool is National Work Strike. Go to https://generalstrikeus.com Here is a example of how it’s worked in the past:
German citizen – “We are so sorry for America...what happened to America that now you are like Germany before the war. We are so afraid for your country and for the world, because of donald trump.”
The media is the help for FOTUS and his administration. I do not care what condition President Biden was in. He was definitely a much more effective president than this current one.
No. Biden gave us Trump by refusing to step down and thinking he deserved a second term. He was a failure. Fuck him.
He is not worth talking about until the history books are written to display his incompetence.
Because MSM is TERRIFIED of Cheeto! So they rather run BS abt JB over & over to “remain relevant”! While Cheeto DESTROYS USA. He’s “really” a billionaire now with all d wealth his accumulating by d min. He can ride d Qatar “gift” & fly somewhere where he can’t be touched by ANY American law.
They will not focus, nor tell the truth.
They cannot practice journalism because they’ve announced with the Trapper book they are complicit.
I think it reasonable for the CNN world to be afraid. But it is unforgivable nonetheless. Just saying as a retired journalist.
Thank you. I could do with a lot less of "what if so-and-so would've done that" too. It's irrelevant. Biden deserves to enjoy his retirement after a job so well done.
Bob Woodward et al. do the same shit. It's always a money thing.
That being said, the reason to think about it is, this is the kind of shit that will come up in the next election. Better to deal with it now and steer the narrative.
The dems better not screw that up with bad messaging. All I kept hearing from the dems during the presidential election was women's reproductive rights. Got REALLY tired of hearing that. Important, but it shouldn't always be the main focus.
Exactly. Democrats, get your act together instead of going round in circles about whether Biden should have declined to run again. Perhaps you should have noticed that he did not, in fact, run for President in 2024. Sheesh.
DJT has no strategy except to blame and distract. His twisted perception and limited attention span focus on repeating his scripted list of enemies. His cult thrives on mimicking him.
Anyone can purchase citizenship from this bizarre administration.
Mexican officials said Wednesday that 17 family members of drug cartel leaders crossed into the United States last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.
It's not *Biden*.
It's why did ppl *AROUND him* think it was a good idea to conceal that he was having spells of absolute incoherence??
And w the # of ppl who talked w him, HOW did they do it?
With all that, because he assembled a professional team, he was still a very effective President.
Who’s talking about Biden? I don’t see any major stories about him. People will continue to reference him, just like they do Obama and Bush, other previous presidents.
It’s the past. It’s like all the “hindsight” books and essays about what was done “wrong” during the Covid pandemic. What exactly is the point? Now the Democrats are all over themselves apologizing.
It’s precisely because we have a 1933 Germany style fascist take over that the fascist owned media is distracting us with Biden stories. If they wanted a story about a cognitively impaired president, they could look to the current regime.
Distraction, the media is focusing on something not important at all while the country burns down around them. Our MSM has its own agenda and they keep showing us how they feel, it's time to disconnect from falsehoods, lies and distractions.
1) Oligarchs control the Government which is now a fascist oligarchy
2) Oligarchs own the news outlets
3) News outlets shill POVs that support fascism and obfuscate counter issues by promoting "expert opinions" and "balanced" points of view
The president is busy sundowning as he repeats “Biden” over and over and over; like a naughty child caught stealing, so they just keep repeating the name of a fellow classmate to distract the teacher.
lol, about a quarter of Bluesky’s user base is HAPPY Biden lost. They really stuck it to Genocide Joe and the Dems have really learned their lesson. They’re full on communists and they’re planning to invade Isreal now. /s
While I think it’s important that Democrats own their mistakes, right now time would be better spent confronting and defeating Trump every single chance they get. For better or worse, I cringe when I hear “bipartisan” or “compromise.”
The Germans humiliated by unfair allies treatment swallowed whatever the Nazis fed them and basked in promises of greatness. Americans similarly glorified a convicted felon under the same propaganda. How America could become great under the corrupt administration of a criminal, narcissistic madman?
The amazing thing is, there's a sizable segment of our electorate that is okay with human rights violations and facism so long as they can get cheaper gas & groceries. They see no threat from facism.
With Qatar and the Arab countries represent the opposing bidders.
Nazi israel is trying to bribe amuriKKKa with it's own money, OPEC represents a much larger monetary gain for tRump personally so AIPAC might get shafted as tRump starts promoting a two state solution. Nobel Peace prize is the cherry.
b/c Jake Tapper is a closet maget and only cares about making money for himself, he does't care about anyone but himself, make money... sound like anyone?
Thats why they are talking about Biden, they need to stay in the Orange Bloats good graces and need something for a by-line, that's the best they could rake up. Its a shame they could not have raked up a spine while they were at it.
They are putting up another diversion. Ignore it, they want you to look away from the important things they are dismantling and the people they are devastating.
Don't know what's in jake sapper's book about Pres Biden, but if it's what I've heard, don't buy it, or if you do rate honestly. Sounds like a cheap shot by a cheap suit. Don't waste our time

We're going to spend limited resources going after James Comey for his impeach Trump meme post.
And it’s not due to Biden.

Corporate media has surrendered to the tyrant.
Leftists who are, well, we really need to recognize who they are really supporting.
I unfollowed Axios yesterday.

He wasn’t fantastic but he left an impressive accounting of his work.
47 shredded it to hell.
He is not worth talking about until the history books are written to display his incompetence.
Classic narcissism
But they have NO intention of fixing ANYTHING.
Huge disservice to push articles about an autopsy of the last administration.
(You know who you are!)

So let's focus on winning

it’s all a distraction.
“People love dirty laundry” - Don Henley
And in defense of President Biden, he didn’t send immigrants to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
Nor did he pardon January 6th cop killing domestic terrorists.
Old? Yes. Injured? Yes. Brain damaged? Definitely not.
It's why did ppl *AROUND him* think it was a good idea to conceal that he was having spells of absolute incoherence??
And w the # of ppl who talked w him, HOW did they do it?

And MSM are behind this 100%‼️😡 Call out CNN, WaPo,& the NYTimes on this false narritive‼️😡
I can't speak for anyone else, but I never assumed Joe was a spring chicken...
Not exact quote, but he said that.
Why ???
Who is driving this bus?
1) Oligarchs control the Government which is now a fascist oligarchy
2) Oligarchs own the news outlets
3) News outlets shill POVs that support fascism and obfuscate counter issues by promoting "expert opinions" and "balanced" points of view
Next question?
Literally, a alt-Right espionage network running the majority party - masquerading as a propaganda tabloid.
Live on air, every day.
Absolving themselves of any accountability.

And I’m smiling because of it 💙
I agree that the left is nearly as broken as the right... absent the complete failure of ethics in soooo many on the right
The entire system, as is, is broken, and the left played a role in what is current. HOWEVER...
