Well the question remains

If Biden is indeed stepping down, we have no official confirmation yet btw, who will fall on the sword for the party?

Newsom? Fuck not a chance
Whitmer? Very unlikely
Polis? Doubtfull
Shaperio? maybe..but still unlikely
Bootygig? Possible, his career is also DOA so he's got little to lose
Klobuchar? Doubtful again, she's got eyes on 2028
Harris? possible, no one likes her and she's toast either way. Maybe they'll get Joe to step down so Kamala can be the first female PotUS as the bribe. Plus it would probably drive Clinton to kill herself.

The real issue is no pol with a future wants to be the guy that lost to Trump. It's something that will follow you around for the rest of your life.

My bet is on Harris...she's the most likely and the least useful in the long run.
That's the catch-22 of it all. The only candidates who are going to throw their hat into the ring are those that feel like they don't ever have a real chance of winning a regular primary and having all the benefits that accrue from getting to campaign for multiple years. No one with a serious future is going to give up the opportunity to be able to be a "legitimate" dem candidate in 2028 and likely get to run against a republican with a lot less popular appeal.
 
Scanner Darkly looks like shit. They ran it through a digital filter to fake the roto and the director admitted he didn't know how to use it, which is why the gimmick just looks like a slightly blurry movie a lot of times.
If you want real roto, here's a Fleischer roto of Cab Calloway dancing from 1933.
 
I mean, the watercolor paintings of ghost-Jesus standing over Trump's shoulder were a bit much. But the guy turned just enough, at just the right split second, to get his ear pierced. All other shots missed, and within seconds, bleeding from the head, he stood up to shake his fist and yell "fight" as 4 1/2 SS agents dragged him away...

The odds and mentality to create that sequence of events are phenomenal. Hard not to see some level of divine providence at play here.
There's a difference between Yahweh stepping in and protecting Trump and talking about how Trump left a life of luxury to save America. Like how Jesus become fully man to save humanity from its sins.
 
Found a thread on /r/europe where Europeans are shitting their pants because their 3-4 month vacations are at risk and they might have to bankroll their own military. America sure is a joke to them until we put the cookie jar away.

This is why you can't take Euros seriously. They HATE America so much, America the OPRESSOR... right until we say we wanna leave. "No, STAY! I can't have a military and paid leave and "Free Healthcare" if you take your big dick army out of europe! I'll actually have to... to... TO WORK!"
 
December 22nd 1944

“To the U. S. A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U. S. A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Ourthe near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompres-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled U. S. A. Troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected the German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U. S. A. Troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hour’s term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this Artillery fire would not correspond with the well known American humanity.


The German Commander”
