Remember a few weeks ago when the #DOW plunged and #Republicans were attacking #Biden on the economy?
#Gas prices have fallen 4 weeks in a row and the #DJIA is hitting record highs again. #ReasonsNotToVoteForTrump

The #Democrats have shown their hand:
“Can't have a Palestinian speaker but we will give you #Republicans, every type of war criminal, a sex pest former president, billionaire parasites, and a white q-an*n sheriff raving about how effective #Biden / #Harris have been at expanding the white-supremacist #police state.”

“Judging by its behavior, America wants war and genocide. Its hands are already soaking in the blood of Gaza. The hands are the hands of Israel, but the weapons are MADE IN THE USA, as is the diplomatic support – this too is unconditional.”

"[The war in Gaza] will be counted against [Biden] forever. He could have stopped it long ago. He did not, and even now, when everything is already hopeless, he lets Blinken surrender to Netanyahu's demands"

"Democrats are this united today because Biden spent his first term doing the patient coalition-tending work of getting them united."
~ Andrew Egger
Oh I miss the Obama/Biden memes!
The #Republican mayor of Mesa, AZ just delivered a short speach condemning #TheOrangeMenace and praised how #Biden/#Harris "reached across the aisle" to support his state.
"I'm going to ribbon cuttings every week now thanks to President Biden and VP Harris, and I know as president and vice president, Harris & Walz will bring our country together."
I wonder about the folks that are still praising Biden, what will you say when the ICJ changes its ruling from plausible genocide to genocide. At what point, if ever, do people acknowledge that Biden knowingly, willingly supported and aided genocide? Do Palestinians not count as people? Or maybe you think it's not genocide in which case it's "just" countless war crimes which you're okay with? Or is it that he gets a pass because he's old and retiring?
His wife, first lady #JillBiden, kept crying. His daughter, Ashley, dabbed her eyes. His son, Hunter, looked on from backstage. The crowd was electrified, eager for a cathartic moment after a weeks-long barrage of can-you-believe-this moments. #Biden looked out at his family, who have been a backbone of his career and sounding board for the most difficult decisions of his political life.
On Monday night, as #Biden took the stage for his 13th #DNC, he was the torch passer. He tried to occupy this new role, one that required a recognition that his time as the party’s chief standard-bearer was nearing an end. He spoke to a crowd that #Democrats compared to those of 1960 & 2008, but w/the recognition that the catalyst was not him but the new #optimism & #joy that have overtaken the party since he stepped aside & endorsed his vice president, #KamalaHarris.
“My dad used to have an expression,” he said. “He’d say, ‘Joey, family is the beginning, the middle & the end.’”
#Biden has played many roles over his long career. He was introduced as the “young fella” in his 1988 presidential campaign. He was the foreign policy statesman during the eight years he served as vice president. And he was the elder wise man during his 2020 presidential campaign.
For much of #Biden’s presidency, #Harris has been the understudy. As vice president, she is often in the background, never wanting to appear to overshadow the principal.
That relationship has been shifting for weeks now, but never more clearly than when Harris took the stage early Monday evening. She urged the crowd — her crowd, at her convention — to start the week by paying homage to the president.
“Thank you, Joe #Biden, for your leadership,” Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (#AOC) said shortly after.
“Let’s salute President #JoeBiden,” #HillaryClinton said. “He has been #democracy’s champion at home & abroad.”
As the evening switched to focus on Biden, his family was a constant presence. Sen Chris Coons quoted Biden’s mother (“You’re defined by your courage & redeemed by your loyalty”), talked about Biden’s record, & thanked #JillBiden as the crowd held aloft green signs that read, “JILL.”
His daughter Ashley introduced him w/tales of how he “is the OG girl dad” & how he remains her best friend.
But the program dragged on so long that #Biden’s remarks fell outside of prime-time television coverage on the East Coast. He didn’t take the stage until 11:25 PM ET.
Chants of “Thank you Joe! #ThankYouJoe!” broke out throughout the night, & resumed as he took the stage.
#Biden, surrounded by family, speaks at the #DNC: ‘I gave my best to you’
President #JoeBiden, for several moments, couldn’t speak. At first, it was because he was dabbing his eyes. Then, it was because the cheers were so sustained.
“Thank you,” he said nearly 2 dozen times, unsuccessfully trying to begin his speech amid a sea of “We love Joe” signs.
#ThankYouJoe #USpol
