It’s so funny that they’re going ahead with the 2024 presidential debates after the clusterfuck of the 2020 debate, where IIRC they cancelled two of the debates after Trump spent the first debate running roughshod over Biden. No concerns over this making Trump, who is literally a felon and an insurrectionist (even if it was a half-assed insurrection and also the actual half-assed insurrection Trump did was when he tried to stop the states counting votes and not the Jan. 6th riot), seem more legitimate. Though I guess he was already President so maybe he can’t be made to be seen as an illegitimate candidate, I don’t know how the electoral wonks feel about that.
But mostly it’s funny because Biden is so obviously in decline. It was a pretty bad showing in 2020, they’re really gonna have to pump him full of adrenochrome to make him even seem present in the moment. Not that Trump isn’t very old also, but from what little I’ve seen of the both of them recently Trump mentally seems to be more or less where he was in 2015, whereas Biden seems mostly out-of-it if he isn’t reading from a teleprompter.
Biden’s hubris coupled with the cabinet’s refusal to invoke the 25th ensuring that democrats cannot win the 2024 election.
