I'm watching all of this with baited breath, as it were, a drip drip drip ... wondering when/if the dam will completely break. (I gather that one being eroded survived?).

What baffles me about this is, does anyone fall for it?

I would think they'd get more requests accepted if they used more realistic women and dressed somewhat sexy but not outright slutty.

apparently, you don't spend much time with the masses

Probably.

I mean, it also might just be a way to sell an OnlyFans subscription.

That makes sense and I hadn't thought of that. I was thinking they were just trying to get "friends" for pushing out ads or whatever.

Imagine that the US President really is (mostly) a figurehead. He gets briefed by folks where the decision is already made, by them. The briefing is couched such that only one option appears viable. He's not making decisions. He appoints about 4,000 individuals to positions, 1200 of which require Senate "confirmation" (rubber stamp usually).

No President has any clue about more than maybe 30 of those. They are made for him, some campaign donor gets Ambassador to Thailand etc.

In other words, his staff makes every decision for him, and perhaps lets him think he's doing something. One could argue he would at least name most of his staff, probably. But if this is the case, anyone could be President if they can smile for the camera and sound semicoherent most of the time. If not, they keep him in the basement of the WH.

I think this is an area where Democratic media bias backfires and hurts Democrats.

If a Republican President had been in the same situation this would have been a constant story from the 2020 election on. That would have led to more pushing, more publicly visible lapses, and ultimately probably a seriously contested 2024 Republican Primary that the senile incumbent likely would have lost. Problem solved.

In this case most of the media treated Trump's "sleepy Joe" comments as completely baseless and never pushed the story so there weren't many publicly visible lapses, there wasn't a seriously contested 2024 Democratic Primary, and now they are kinda stuck.

FWIW:
I don't think they are completely stuck and I think they will find a way around it but whatever that way is, will not necessarily be ideal. I *think* they are kinda stuck with Kamala Harris because if they pass her over the Black Caucus will RIOT. The problem is that Kamala Harris simply isn't very likable. If they'd have had a contested primary she would likely have lost to a more likable candidate like Gavin Newsome. Without a contested primary it will be a "bigwig decision" and the bigwigs can't pass over a minority so they're stuck.

this doesn't work for "The Donald"

and that's why many vote for him

It's an abbreviation for "abated."

Carry on.

Joe Biden press conference: President will face media scrutiny (thehill.com)

If I were a leader of something significant, and I had a bad night, was off, didn't look sharp, etc., and these criticisms arose, but I really was fine, my old self, fit as a fiddle aside from having a cold and jet lag, they thing I'd do immediately is get back out there in public and show conclusively it was a one time thing.

Immediately.
