The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

“weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

"man" is quite generous.

I’d love to have campaign ads with trump talking about how much Obama golfed while in office and then compare it to how much trump golfed.

Wasn't there also something that Obama almost exclusively golfed at Andrews Base, a secure location near D.C. while the other guy had to go to his own club where the Secret Service had to book rooms in Trumps own hotel?

Unlike Trump I think our law and order has enough crime already. Could it really handle more? It's already judge Dredd out there if you live in the wrong area.

Time to take off the kid gloves. Part of the problem is that the Democrats have never really fought hard against the far right, the way they, for instance, fight against any progressive candidate that might rock the boat. They'd rather hand the country to the fascists than upset their sponsors.
