In reply to the discussion: Ahh, shit. Dem megadonor and supporter, George Clooney now calling for Biden to drop out. Damn, Damn, Damn [View all]flamingdem
(40,727 posts)19. George Clooney is full of himself
        He's falling for the same garbage about Biden's answer regarding having done his best.
The talking point is that he should be only considering the country and not himself.
Thus, he is selfish.
Clooney is not bright. He's a fucking actor.
Joe is capable and can manage age associated issues.
Sissies and traitors galore now.

        That they are out performing Biden doesn't cause you some trepidation?

        All you need is a total of 14 years living in the US. It doesn't have to be consecutive either.

        I'm not in the habit, nor do I condone censoring information. Even that with which I disagree, if credible.

        I'm sure clooney started reading or listening to what others were saying and consequently, changed his mind.

        All that happened BEFORE Clooney co-hosted the largest fundraiser ever for Biden.

        NY Mag just dropped an article about it. I'm not the only one who thinks there's more to the story.

        Scads and scads of people have expressed their concern and called for Joe to drop out, in the NYT and on the air.
