I love the way our President is clarifying trump's behavior and the issues he supports. And Biden doesn't get nasty or stupid about it the way trump does.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

That's a great way to say it! He addresses it without going to the dumpster

President Biden is a gentleman. A polished diplomat. He has a heart and it shows. tRump is a pariah. A wannabe dictator. An enemy kiss-ass. An adulterer. A misogynist. An immigrant hater....unless they happen to be his wife or in-laws. How convenient. A toxic narcissist. Not worthy of ever having stepped foot in the White House. History will be the judge. Mary Ann MacLeod Trump would have done the US a favor if she had aborted him.

I am so glad to read these accolades of our President! I agree that Biden is a good man! (After all, he loves dogs, doesn’t he?!😊) I sincerely hope that more voters see this side of him, &!go out & vote blue in November!!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

He does love dogs!

Thank you, Veronica, for giving proper credit to Joe Biden. I love what you said about him. I like Joe Biden more than ever and feel that he has lived all his life for this moment in history.

Nasty is the only tool Trump has! He plays it constantly.

After all this time calling Joe Biden, Sleepy, Dozing Don can't even stay awake in his own criminal trial!

Trump knows his house of cards is falling down. We are witnessing a malignant narcissist "melt-down" in real time. If any other defendant ranted the way that trump does (gagged?🙄)...they would have been fined or imprisoned already.

This 2024 election T is great: t.co/l4pbfMJofY

Don Snoreleone has got nothing on Dark Brandon 🇺🇸🌊🗳️🧢

I saw that name for him yesterday and about lost it laughing!

Love Don Snoreleone, great one!

Really nice to see more confirmation that Biden is mastering the "Rope-a-dope." https://samray.substack.com/p/counter-narcissist-cheat-codes-rope

Scott Dworkin's avatar

He's got the steps right Sam!

Sam Ray's avatar

Indeed he did Scott. The right move with narcissists is to play possum until ready to strike.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

That is spot on Sam!

MA Posner's avatar

Yep, you nailed it!

RV maxima's avatar

Ditto!

Susan's avatar

Great essay at that link, Sam! Rope a rope indeed!

Trump is all those things. He is a con man, he is a grifter, he is a highly skilled manipulator of a large part of the American population. But he is essentially not awfully bright. And Trump is a puppet.

If you don't already know who is pulling the strings and feeding Trump his lines, you can get an overview quickly on Wikipedia. The whole Roe v Wade debacle (a nice disttraction along with the "Immigrant Problem", to keep voters from noticing that the Trillionaires and CentiBillionaires pay almost nothing and control almost everything, and want to keep it that way) is a VERY quiet man whose name is LEONARD LEO. This is who we peons should be watching.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Those of us who read Jane Mayer's DARK MONEY a while back and/or related reporting on the subject have been following Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society for some time now. Do you really think the Dobbs decision is just "a nice distraction"? A case could be made that it's an example of right-wing overreach. Whether they get away with it is still up in the air. But it woke more people up than the name of Leonard Leo ever will.

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Sorry! I was trying to be ironic. :-) And yes, Dark Money and Citizens United are HUGE and dangerous problems we need to fix.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

I get it -- irony and sarcasm are hard to do on Substack: no emojis to help out. ;-)

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Unless on mobile! 😊👍

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Aha! I thought Substack was Substack, and WordPress was WordPress, etc., no matter what the medium. The whole idea of reading anything serious on my phone -- I can barely imagine. OTOH, since I edit for a living (and write for other reasons), my laptop is usually in my lap so that's what I use.

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

What kind of editing do you do? And what do you write?

Veronica von Bernath Morra's avatar

My life views and understanding have never been the same since reading Jane's masterpiece of investigative reporting.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Same here -- even though I thought I was fairly savvy before I read it. I wasn't.

Songgirl Kim's avatar

Thanks for this, Scott. It’s SO nice to read positive news about Biden. I get kinda tired of the rage posting about tfg.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you! And it’s nice to write stuff like this too. 👍👍

Sabrina Haake's avatar

Really glad to see the Biden campaign punching with force. But as long as Fox is allowed to peddle disinformation as news, 40% of the country won't hear anything about it. Would be fun to chronicle how Fox covers the NY election interference trial, compared to what really transpires...

DR JAGC's avatar

And that has GOT to end. We can’t have “news” peddling lies. Different opinions? Fine. Lies. NFW

Sabrina Haake's avatar

Agreed. I've written ad nauseam about bringing a version of the Fairness Doctrine back, adapted for today's media climate. Calling it censorship is complete BS; the RedLion opinion was good law for decades with no problem under the 1st A.

Jeanne Collins Crowley's avatar

Yes, a side by side comparison would be fantastic.

Maribeth Lehane's avatar

Wow, that was wonderful! Way to go, Mr. President!

Fran's avatar

Thank you for stating Biden’s highlights while he dropped the ball on Trump’s weaknesses. Excellent!

Monica P.'s avatar

Biden is on the loose - a plethora of zingers telling it like it is!

Ms Jonington's avatar

This really was great

Lisa J. Miller's avatar

Boy I sure needed to read this today!! I've had my TV off because 1) I needed a Mental Health day and a News Break and 2)I was outside most of the day doing yardwork & listening to music.

Thank you Scott!! Sure did lift my spirits!! It's great to see Joe in his element. As I'm catching up on the News this evening, I noticed Trump looks really bad. And I'm loving all the new Nicknames too. Here's a couple more. The NodFather and DozoDon. Too funny!! I think they probably sedated him so he'd keep his mouth shut during Court. About the only way he could more than likely. 😆 🤣

Now if our damn Congress would get it's sh#t together and get some money for Ukraine I just might sleep better tonight. Hope springs eternal. 💔🇺🇸💙

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thanks so much Lisa!

Veronica von Bernath Morra's avatar

Amen on Congress!

Louise Pattison's avatar

And "Godfarter"

Sherry Taylor's avatar

Great speech with delivery. The gloves are off! Yay!!!

DK Brooklyn's avatar

Thank you for this highlight. I missed the speech so I needed this.

I made stickers. This one looks great on my car. VOTE BLUE FOR FREEDOM

notice that the biggest word is FOR because the Blue team is FOR things. The other side is all anti. (Healthcare, education. Voting, Choice, supporting allies, reasonable gun control, democracy……)

Here's another, "Vote Blue for Prosperity"!

Lisa's avatar

Has tRump tried saying he’s not sleeping, he’s praying? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

lol well Lisa I am guessing that would've been the smart play instead of just giving angry looks to Maggie Haberman in the courtroom

Rebel408's avatar

Love this post, Scott. And glad to see Pres Biden taking this hands on approach to highlighting the gulf between his vision and that of the 🟠💩.

The MAGa cult members won't hear a word about the differences between the two on any of their news outlets and wouldn't believe a word, anyway. Shared this on Spoutible and Slack channels in the hope that the quotes are turned into mimes that set the social media world on 🔥.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thanks so much for reading!

Love, love, love the 🍊 💩
