Viewer says I'm wrong, it IS time to panic about Biden!
A TDPS subreddit user has asserted that President Joe Biden is experiencing a decline in voter support, specifically highlighting potential losses among young people and minority groups dissatisfied with his position on issues such as the Israel-Gaza conflict. The claim raises concerns about the impact on Biden's voter base and suggests that Democrats should be vigilant regarding these factors. This perspective reflects a broader discourse surrounding Biden's reelection prospects, with the argument implying potential challenges for the Democratic Party. However, there is a solid counterargument that challenges the validity of these concerns which rests on prevailing anti-Trump sentiment across the country. Also, while it is not uncommon for some voters to shift away from a president seeking reelection, Biden's first-term accomplishments on infrastructure, COVID, and student loan forgiveness along with positive economic indicators could bolster his chances. Many months out from the election, progressives should take a measured approach, urging attention to voter turnout rather than succumbing to panic or overconfidence.
Joe Rogan rants uncontrollably about COVID, tells multiple lies
In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience featuring comedian Bobby Lee, Rogan made a number of boneheaded statements on the COVID-19 pandemic. Rogan claimed that 90% of COVID-related deaths had four or more comorbidities, so healthy people didn’t need to worry about it. But left out from the discussion was how these comorbidities are often caused by COVID, such as pneumonia and respiratory failure, rendering the statistic misleading. Additionally, Rogan characterized COVID as as a tool for authoritarian control, rather than public health officials working with the government to mitigate the spread of the virus and save lives. Rogan, in recent years, has become more far right-wing, and this commentary on the pandemic underscores that.

BREAKING: House investigating Matt Gaetz underage sex trafficking allegations
Despite avoiding criminal charges, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz is now under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of sex trafficking involving underage girls. The probe is reportedly focusing on Gaetz paying an underage teen for sex when he was significantly older. The House Ethics Committee has been reaching out to potential witnesses and attempting to obtain records from the Department of Justice about its prior investigation into Gaetz. The previous criminal investigation faced obstacles as witnesses declined to testify, leading to its suspension. If Gaetz is found in breach of House ethics, there is the possibility that the chamber could move to expel him from office.

Obamacare enrollment hits NEW RECORD, Trump promises to end it
Despite former President Trump's insistence on repealing Obamacare if he gets elected to a second term, the Affordable Care Act has achieved record enrollment, with over 21 million people signing up for health care plans. This points to the impracticality and disruption of Trump's intentions, as there is now a deep integration of Obamacare into the healthcare system over its 14-year existence. The evolving public perception sees Obamacare not as a removable entity but as an indispensable component of the healthcare landscape. The continuous reforms under Joe Biden, coupled with the economic repercussions and legislative hurdles associated with dismantling the Affordable Care Act, highlight the challenges of Trump's proposal. Trump failed to overturn the ACA during his first term and getting it done in a second term would likely prove even more challenging.

Even if Trump has 3 or 5 million supporters, they are only a few of our total population. They are making all the noise, but don't be fooled by what he and they are saying. The walls are closing in on DT and he is a raving mad man. His blunders in his speeches might be lost on those supporters, but each day that he steps before the cameras, he is losing more ground. There is a large group of Trump people that are disgusted with who he has become, and they will not vote for him. Watch the various interviews that are happening on You Tube.
