Here’s a Hollywood ending that President Joe Biden wants to bring to life: an incumbent facing tough polling numbers and questions about his advanced age overcomes a brash opponent to win a second term at the White House.

With strikes by writers and actors now over, Biden is beginning to make that pitch to the Southern California set in person. He and first lady Jill Biden plan to attend six fundraising events and meetings between them this weekend in the Los Angeles area, asking some of the glitziest names in town to open their checkbooks for his reelection campaign.

Some of the events will be public and others private over roughly 36 hours in California. But organizers say Biden should raise more this weekend than in any similar time frame since announcing his campaign in April. He may also potentially take in more than any presidential candidate has in greater Los Angeles this far out from Election Day.

“The pent-up excitement, enthusiasm is really unprecedented,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, a co-founder of DreamWorks Pictures and longtime Democratic presidential fundraiser in Los Angeles, who is one of the Biden campaign’s national co-chairs. “People are excited. They’re mobilized. And they’ve been waiting months to show their support for him.”

    Biden has not caused or escalated shit over there.

            And accusing someone of “peak Reddit behavior” while offering nothing to the discussion is peak wannabe elitist Lemmy behavior.

          He said despite ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza, there’s nothing that Israel could do that they would not have support. He is condoning their ethnic cleansing. He is accelerating it because he will do nothing to stop it

            This is YOUR opinion of what he’s doing. He said nothing of the sort. You’re making shit up that aligns with your agenda.

            Grow up.

              Next, you’re going to tell me that he never said he saw pictures of beheaded babies, despite the fact that we’re no pictures of beheaded babies. He is manufacturing your consent for war and he has it

                I’m not going to argue with a kid that manufactures news for the sake of appearing woke. Your mind is closed to anything that flies in the face of whatever agenda you follow. So this is pointless.

                Blocking you now as your entire comment history proves you have nothing to offer that is ever find interesting or entertaining.
