Via Rep. Robert Garcia:

Joe Biden is fucking cooking! 🔥🔥

#Biden: Folks, you probably noticed, a lot of speculation lately, what's Joe Biden going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? Here's my answer. I am running, and we're going to win.

2/ Biden: You made me the nominee, no one else, not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not the donors. You the voters decided, no one else, and I'm not going anywhere.

3/ Via Ron Filipkowski:

This crowd is the 2020 James Clyburn endorsement redux. The base is being heard from.

Crowd chanting “Don’t you quit”

4/ Via Rupar:

Biden:

"I love telling Trump this, even though I don't own any stock. The stock market is at a historic high."

"That's why I call him Donald 'Herbert Hoover' Trump!"

Biden: Poor Donald, he can't even watch TV this week because it's shark week

Biden brings up Trump's praise for Putin and says, "but people would rather talk about how I mix up names. I guess they don't remember that Trump called Nikki Haley Nancy Pelosi."

5/ Via Acyn:

Biden: I'm just saying, you may have noticed that since the debate, the press and they're good guys and women up there, they have been hammering me.

Crowd: Boo

Biden: Trump has gotten a free pass

6/ Back to the names quote:

Biden: The people would rather talk about how I mix up names. I guess they don't remember that Trump called Nikki Haley Nancy Pelosi. Well, no. No more. Donald, no more free passes.

7/ Rupar:

Biden is really unloading on #Trump:

"Donald Trump is a convicted criminal ... of 34 felonies for paying hush money to a porn star and hiding it from voters in 2016. Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault ... it's the judge's language, not mine. He raped her."

8/ Biden is interrupted by demonstrator and after a lengthy pause says, "Folks, look, I understand her passion. That's why I put together a detailed plan that the UN has accepted, that the Israelis have accepted, that the Palestinians have accepted ... This war must end."

9/ Biden: Trump went bankrupt running a casino. I didn't think that was possible. Doesn’t the house always win?

NOTE: All these quotes are via Aaron Rupar and Acyn.

10/ Biden: "Trump said if he wins, he'll be a dictator on day one. He means it, folks. We're not gonna let that happen. Over my dead body it will happen."

Biden: Folks, look at this right wing project 2025.

Crowd: Boo

Biden: Oh, you heard about it?

Crowd: Yeah

11/ That's it from me. Follow @atrupar or Google the speech.

I'm done in.

Good night.

12/ One more:

Biden: It is time for us to stop treating politics like entertainment and reality TV.

13/ Last one.

He called Trump “Putin’s puppy” btw.

Via Rupar:

Biden closes his speech an an absolutely electric crowd in Detroit: "I know I look 40, but I'm a little bit older. Hopefully with age comes a little wisdom. And here's what I know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how & I've demonstrated how to do this job. And I know Americans want a president not a dictator."

@GottaLaff More acceptable than the traditional "Putin's bitch"

@GottaLaff

Thanks for live posting this Laffy. Great speech.

Dropping in the link one more time if that is cool with you:

LIVE: Biden speaks live at Detroit rally after high-stakes news conference

@GottaLaff
I still recall Reagan's use of "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience".

[edited for accuracy of quotation]

@GottaLaff

This sounds like the same speech he gave in Wisconsin. Dems took that and intercut it with some of the things against Trump (felonies, J6, etc, etc) in a VERY powerful commercial.

@GottaLaff hm, protesting Trump with yippy dog noises?
@GottaLaff Thanks for the recap kiddo. Sleep tight & bite the bed bugs right back. 😉

@GottaLaff

Should be "Putin's Puppet", but I like it either way

@Ultraverified @GottaLaff

Yes. Puppies are cute and sweet. Trump is neither of those things.

@Ultraverified @GottaLaff Calling him a puppy in this context emphasizes Trump's fawning, subservient behavior to Putin. He's rolling around on the floor, frantically begging for attention, and pissing himself with fear.

@GottaLaff Excellent!!! Exactly what Biden needs to be doing 🔥 👏 👏

#DemonTrump

@GottaLaff How much of our voting population is entertained by Pro-Wrestling and Monster Truck exhibitions? The non-stop degradation of our educational infrastructure is in play here (among other factors).

@petep44 @GottaLaff

the sad part is the people who treat their relationships like Pro Wrestling and Monster Truck exhibitions

@petep44 Honestly if you go take a look at the replies in CNN etc eras posts on various media people aren’t falling for the hit job. They are shouting their support for Biden and telling the Press and Clooney to go fuck themselves.

@GottaLaff

It's time to stop treating EVERYTHING like reality TV and treat it like reality.

@GottaLaff that was so good to hear. I’m tired of the corporate media, the talking heads and the entertainment folks trying to manipulate us. Voters get to decide not them!
@GottaLaff Absolutely. As my youngest reminded me, even if we elect Biden and he dies (or loses his faculties) in office, there are plans in place—we’d just end up with Kamala as president. She seems to be the top pick for most of the doomsayers anyway.
@GottaLaff I've been saying this for years. Also, it's not a sport either. Americans have been programmed into this kind of entertainment bubble where reality is whatever we are told and are entertained with. Critical thinking be damned.
@GottaLaff @atrupar night night! Shabbat shalom, as we say!
@GottaLaff Thank you, Laffy! I hope you have a restful weekend. Hugs!
@GottaLaff @atrupar
I watched it when it was on, and I was cheering for him. He needs to do this every day (or so) from now on! He really needs to re-invigorate his peeps, & give everyone reason to encourage others to vote for him.
@GottaLaff Hey, quite a few years ago I wrote that Trump went bankrupt running a Casino! Can I claim a copyright violation 😃? Not that I mind Joe Biden using that line!
@GottaLaff This has always been the detail about Trump that makes me laugh hardest. Seriously - how pathetic do you have to be to bankrupt a casino? I realize he was just skimming money, but the idiot skimmed so much he killed the golden goose. Even street grifters ask themselves how stupid can he be.
