Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Elites Begin to Starve Middle Class Joe of Campaign FundsHappy Friday, everyone! As LauraW. used to say, it's F*** It All Friday. What that means, I don't know. $90 million already pledged to the biggest pro-Biden SuperPAC has been frozen and will not be given. At least as long as Biden remains the candidate. NYT:Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that roughly $90 million in pledged donations is now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations. The frozen contributions include multiple eight-figure commitments, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from Mr. Biden's poor debate performance at the end of June.Ed Morrissey's post notes that just three more Democrats have submitted calls for Biden to step aside. That's a win for Scranton Joe -- ABC "News" was talking about 20-25 House Democrats all with press releases ready, all demanding Scranton Joe withdraw, and those were to be released no matter what the outcome of the Big Boy Press Conference. So maybe his almost-not-a-complete-disaster performance helped him? Chris Matthews predicts that Biden will stay in the race, because the "poor" and "the blacks" are with him, and he's used to "the elites" denigrating and disrespecting him. He points out Obama's shabby treatment of Biden -- the first time I've heard a lefty acknowledge Obama as an elite and not as an oppressed minority. He claims that people will rally to Middle Class Joe when they see all these elites picking on him.
Milwaukee-based Civic Media has admitted to editing an interview with President Joe Biden at the behest of his campaign, raising questions about journalistic integrity and media influence in politics. The edits were made to a July 3 interview conducted by host Earl Ingram, which aired the next day following a notably shaky debate performance by Biden. The two specific edits involved a claim by Biden about the racial diversity of his administration and his reference to Donald Trump's comments regarding the Central Park Five. Specifically, the edits were: At time 5:20, the removal of "...and in addition to that, I have more Blacks in my administration than any other president, all other presidents combined, and in major positions, cabinet positions." At time 14:15, in reference to Donald Trump's call for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, the removal of "I don't know if they even call for their hanging or not, but he--but they said [...] convicted of murder." Civic Media's statement explained that the decision was made in good faith but acknowledged a mistake had been made. "With a high-profile interview comes a listener expectation that journalistic interview standards will be applied, even for non-news programming. We did not meet those expectations. Civic Media disagrees with the team's judgments in the moment, both with respect to the handling of the interview questions and the decision to edit the interview audio," their statement read. The station has decided to make the full, unedited interview available online.The NYT has another scoop: Crazy conservatives had a "conspiracy theory" that the Democrat Party Elites were scheming to replace Biden. Although this was a crazy, racist, Without Evidence conspiracy theory, it has somehow "collided with reality" and become correct, even though it was always a crazy and racist conspiracy theory offered Without Evidence.

Last night was a mixed bag for Biden. He started relatively well, and had he spoken for only half the time he did, he could have called it a good night. However, he didn't, and dramatically faded into rambling gibberish as the night wore on, reminding everyone of why he's in trouble already.

I almost starting to admire his tenacity, basically the entire media and Democrat Party is attempting to destroy him and he's defiant. I really hope he hangs on.
It just doesnt appear to me that Biden is going to suddenly announce he's no longer running. Watching the press conference, it seems what's left of his head is invested in seeing this through. I almost think something out of left field would need to emerge to run him out of there. These donation threats are pretty hollow imo.

Posted by: runner at July 12, 2024 12:23 PM (V13WU) 1. He's connected. His father was an anchorman. Two aunts and two cousins were all in showbiz. 2. He is sufficiently conventionally attractive to make some segment of the female population swoon guaranteeing box office. 3. He can act well enough that, put into favorable roles, will at least not hinder box office. Supposition: 1. Having been an "actor" his whole life, he is sufficiently corrupted to aid the lefty/pervert cabal that runs entertainment. 2. Using his "sufficiently conventionally attractive"-ness, he can bring some number of women into the fold who might be resistant to "the couch". 3. He has engaged in enough blackmailable activities that he can be used as a known enabler by the forces behind the lefty/pervert cabal.

The bottom line is that the Democrats can just keep talking about how Biden's state of mind and then do not have to talk about the state of the State. This is a campaign about dementia Joe and not about the condition of the country and what they are going to do to fix it. Loan forgiveness, Rent control, telling Corporations to fix inflation is all pandering without offering any solutions. They don;t have to have a platform. Let's just keep talking about whether Joe had denentia, alzheimers, Parkinsons, athlete's foot....whatever.

Fratricidal warfare continues at the hard-Left Lawyers Guns and Money blog, and it is glorious.
The people who run the blog have come up with a solution to the Democrats' problem: 1) Every expert in Parkinson's Disease who has seen recent video of Joe Biden has concluded that Joe has Parkinson's. 2) The Democratic Party should therefore demand that Joe be tested for Parkinson's Disease. Joe will be found to have Parkinson's Disease. 3) This is a honorable diagnosis, since they're not saying that Joe is demented - he merely has a severe neurological disease. 4) The Parkinson's diagnosis will give Joe an honorable reason to withdraw from the ticket, and the Democrats can replace him with someone else. Most of the commenters are responding: 1) Joe isn't withdrawing. 2) Since Joe isn't withdrawing, anything that makes Joe look bad is helping that monster Trump get elected. 3) The people who run the blog should therefore STFU.

The machinations have to be viewed threw the filter of what move benefits which center of gravity in the Democrat constellation.
Start with The House of Biden. Being in place puts him in the strong position, but after Jill, and Hunter his bench is weak. Then there is Obama. Biden is his Monster that's gotten out of control. He has to find the right time and method to extricate himself from the impending trainwreck. Hillary is still sitting on the sidelines salivating over what may be her big break FINALLY! Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are eager to maintain what they have and are putting on a precarious balancing act. Kamela Harris may be the one with the strongest hand. If she likes, all she has to do is wait. Warner and the Deep State are going to take the path that minimizes damage to their position. The Cabinet and Staff will play things close until given the signal to jump ship. China and Ukraine want a return on their investment, as do the donors. And all Trump has to do is keep out of splatter radius when the feces strikes the fan. Having so many hidden levers makes the game exponentially treacherous.

If they had started trying to replace Joe two years ago, it could have worked. Doing it after a 4 year gas lighting campaign about how Great and Intelligent and gosh darn Smart Joe is? No way, the proles won’t go for it.
The guys at the top are realizing two things right now: 1) Kamala is just as bad a candidate as Joe 2) doing what would be needed to get rid of both of them would start an internal party war that would destroy everything for them. The best option now for them is just to kick back, let both Joe and Kamala flame out in a Thelma and Louise ending, and start over fresh in 2028.

Totally straight down the middle government broadcaster NPR released a new poll today, and Biden is up 2. So we have NPR and Fox looking at the race the same way, which is a plot twist no one saw coming.
Posted by: Huck Follywood ___ I disagree with those results, but we're not going to walk into this election with Trump up like 8 points. Almost everyone has already decided how they are going to vote. Best we can hope for is light turnout and donors thinking Biden's a lost cause. I also think you're going to see some passive aggressive media coverage and dems being spiteful that their marching orders were ignored if Biden stays in. Gaffes that were normally ignored will get a little more MSM coverage. Posted by: Blago at July 12, 2024 12:43 PM (WQx87) 252

when i was in high school, my mom took a trip to minnesota to visit her mother. brought me back a "be kind to animals: kiss a beaver" t-shirt.
i wore it to school. once. Heh. When I was growing up, my Dad was enlisted military and my Mom stayed at home. Later she was a teacher. So we were fairly poor. Not dirt poor, but I didn't have the nice clothes and haircuts that other kids did. A lot of my haircuts were terrible military barber jobs. My Dad also made me wait until my hair was in bad need of a haircut before we went to the barber. So one day, I guess I had bugged him enough about getting a nicer haircut that he took me to a non-military barber. I didn't know what I wanted, so I asked for a nicer haircut. The barber gave me a 50s duck's ass. I didn't know that was embarrassing until I walked into class and everyone burst out laughing. Posted by: bonhomme at July 12, 2024 12:45 PM (Odg76) 267
He claims that people will rally to Middle Class Joe when they see all these elites picking on him.
WUT? Being president as of, checks calendar, yesterday, and every day before that is pretty much the definition of being an elite[/]. So, nah, Scranton Schmo, you are the definition of an elite with decades of holding public office, with decades of selling out your offices to enrich yourself, and your multiple estates bought seemingly with your ill gotten cash. Now, if you could only shake being stupid, a liar, a people user, and an overall asshole all your other elites would still be talking to you. But you can't shake all that and now that you have dementia and are no longer useful to the agenda of other elites you've been tossed to the curb where you should have been and stayed fifty years ago.

Biden delivers strong, insightful performance in closely watched press conference. Biden was asked questions about both the war in Ukraine and the involvement of China. He provided long, complex answers, detailing how China and North Korea were involved in Ukraine and the threat that China represents in the Pacific. His knowledge of the military aspects and economic implications was clear, and he maintains a full grasp on a very complex situation.
In general, he spoke with the kind of authority and broad knowledge that Trump could never match. He also talked about what he still wants to do with such passion and obvious desire that it is clear he has no interest in stepping away from this fight. There were moments in which he misspoke, and others in which he paused or stumbled, but there were none in which Biden seemed to lose the thread or demonstrate less than authoritative knowledge on a series of complex topics. If anything, his issue was the same as through his career in the White House and Senate: a mind bursting with knowledge and a mouth that sometimes can’t keep up with his desire to share what he knows.

I've thought about that a lot too. It's interesting how in real life the truth often has to be broadcast by many people for a long time before gaining traction. Even then a significant number of people will reject it no matter what. One of the most mind blowing moments in my memory is after months of "You can't get COVID if you get the clot shot" we were suddenly told that "No one ever claimed the clot shot stops you from getting COVID, it just stops you from getting as sick" and...no one cared. And all the "safety" measures based on the clot shot stopping the spread of COVID stayed in place. The truth came out and had no effect on anything.

I know the answer, but did a singe reporter actually look into if there really was a "water leak" that required the vote counting to be stopped?
I vaguely recall the story went from broken water main to busted sink to leaky faucet. Of course how any of that stopped the counting in the 5 other stolen states is a question that will not be answered...

How did Clooney become so influential? The answer is much more fascinating, and darker, than you could guess - it’s his wife, Amal Clooney. She is a British International lawyer who holds Lebanese citizenship and who appears to have close ties to many of the extremely wealthy but secretive families in the Middle East. Because of her, Clooney has become the front man for a group that can literally move billions of dollars of dark money around the world with little oversight. I don’t think he personally is privy to much of what they’re doing (although his wife might) but they like having him as a figurehead.

This is a no-lose for them. They go all-in on the cheat. Better than 50% chance they pull it off. If they can't, they solve their Biden-Harris problem by getting rid of them, and clearing the decks for 3 years for a new frontrunner to emerge. Meantime, the deep state and a compliant GOP thwart Trump every step of the way.

TJM has a good point. Breaking rules is possible but hardly cost-free. Up to now, everyone knew their places and what was expected of them. But, if they go to the convention and break all the promises and expectations of all involved, they get chaos. Chaos is notoriously inimical to careful scheming and management. There will be lots of people with influence who will look to profit from the situation in unpredictable ways.

This is an odd ultimatum. The next 48 hours? That's conveniently over a summer weekend when few will be paying attention. And what happens after the 48 hours, when Joe says -- for the 10th time -- "fuck you, I'm not dropping out"?
This is sorta like saying "We're gonna lay siege to your city, motherfuckers! But . . . if you can hold out for 48 hours, we're packing up our shit and going home." Failure theater.

447 TJM has a good point. Breaking rules is possible but hardly cost-free. Up to now, everyone knew their places and what was expected of them. But, if they go to the convention and break all the promises and expectations of all involved, they get chaos. Chaos is notoriously inimical to careful scheming and management. There will be lots of people with influence who will look to profit from the situation in unpredictable ways.
Posted by: electronic means at July 12, 2024 01:11 PM (rjJqk) ======== Hence, the knife fight. The DNC will adhere to the rules rigorously. Biden will be the nominee. It will be a smooth, eventless convention (outside the convention will be different). And Republicans will have gained massive material of Democrats calling Biden old, incontinent, and unable to do the job. They could use it if they wished.

They belong to the DEMOCRAT party. Democratic, progressive, forward thinking... All language used to poison what they consider wrong think.

Probably varies by area from what I have read. BTW, I sent in your evaluation of Spencer Cox as a ProgMo yesterday to the FB page of someone who has been through the fire trying to keep the progressives from totally taking over education in Utah. You have gotten more than 100 "likes" and no dissents. Plus some comments elaborating on your short statement. And a double bullseye. Posted by: KT at July 12, 2024 01:28 PM (rrtZS) 532

How do you feel about straw men arguments?

Interesting how all of the old has-beens are popping up hoping to be have their opinions be seen as relevant again. Matthews, Rove, Woodward and Bernstein, Carville, etc.

Is the answer from their girlfriends, "The Wedding Date"?
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 12, 2024 01:15 PM (ynpvh) If you can believe it, I'm actually watching this scenario go down right before my eyes. I know this young couple. They've been dating for just about 4 years. She just graduated college, he has one year remaining. They'd planned on getting married in the fall of '25, but are moving in together (with 2 more roommates) for this, his last year of college. They have abstained throughout their time together. But recently I think he started questioning whether it was right to even live together without being married (or, maybe he's starting to wonder if he can continue restraining himself if they're actually living together). So he asked his pastor. Pastor tossed a wrench. Told them they would not set a good example by doing so - that God would likely be displeased. So now they want to get married in just a few weeks, but keep it on the down low until they actually have a wedding in the fall of '25. And then reveal their choice to their friends and family at that time. I'm still processing it . . . Posted by: Lady Who Always Has a Burning Question at July 12, 2024 01:47 PM (JCLJi) 538
Is the answer from their girlfriends, "The Wedding Date"? Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 12, 2024 01:15 PM (ynpvh) If they're Chad she's already banging them and they don't have to wait. If he's not, then it's the wedding date. And she'll still be fucking Chad. Posted by: Unlike the last 200 guys I want it to be special! at July 12, 2024 02:09 PM (mIzto) 539
What if a bunch of Republicans who've been raised in an environment where they think Democrats steal elections every chance they get suddenly take...the AZ legislature? Or the WI legislature? Or somewhere else? Especially with investigatory powers?
I don't think the GOP is nearly as compliant as it used to be, especially at the state level. Machine GOP states that have been red for decades are another issue, of course.
