Many top Democrats are convinced that if the election were today, Biden would lose a rematch with former President Trump. Biden’s address on March 7 is his biggest chance to shift public perceptions.

“Everyone around him is well aware — well aware — of the need to jack this campaign up,” a source close to Biden said. “The only way to deal with the negative aftershocks of the special counsel’s report [slamming Biden’s age] is for the president to be out there, to be visible — to be strong of presence and strong of voice.”

One bold move that Biden has considered, we’re told, is an executive order that would dramatically stanch the record flow of migrants into the Southwest. This could even happen in the two weeks before the address, allowing Biden to say he took action while Republicans just talk.

    I fucking hate this timeline. It is either Biden, or Trump. Those are our options. That’s it. Either a babling idiot or… an orange babling idiot. Has there ever been such bad options before? I am so sick of it. It feels like there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings just to see how fucking ridiculous this can all get before we rise up. Maybe someone is testing the waters for something in the future. Just to see how much they can toy with us. Maybe it’s all just the elite rich shoving whatever politician they can in that gives them the most control. I mean, we all know that is happenning, but maybe it is just becoming more and more brazen as they realize how much we all just… complain and do nothing substantial to stop it.

      It’s much scarier than that: This is actually what the American people want, and those of us who think it’s wrong are a tiny minority.
