I remember a situation where the 25th seemed like a good remedy. But I don’t remember anyone in the cabinet doing anything on Jan 7 or after. Oh and for the loss of mental acuity argument, I present, 1985-1988.

“See that bridge? Built it with my own two hands. Carried the stone on my back, placed each one with great skill. You could drive a herd of cattle over it, so strong it is. But do they call me ‘Biden The Bridge Builder’? No! They do not!” But, you blow one debate…

If Biden came out swinging today and (1) announced an expansion of the court and had 3 new justices named for hearings on Monday and (2) demanded congressional hearings on Thomas and Alito ethics violations … I’d think … “Huh. Perhaps that guy could get reelected again. Cool.” But, um.

This happened to me a few weeks back. The wind caught my door when I was opening it and it hit the car next to me. I thought I saw a dent, so I left my number. But … the owner couldn’t find it. Win/win?

Thank you, Tom. You’re, as usual, spot on for key points. I’m crying in my soup as I write this, but we can’t keep pretending that last night was an anomaly. I saw him speak in 2018 and he was losing his mastery then. No question he’s an amazing man, and been an excellent president. This term.

The most effective tool in the republican arsenal is to foster conflict within democrats and let them fight amongst themselves. That tool is unleashed today - democrats are now split between the stay/go camps, eating their own. Just like 2016. What happened in 2016?

That overton window sure did shift. But don’t underestimate the number of respondents who will assert that DJT is better than Biden on any topic, regardless of viability or factual value. “Which candidate loves Hunter Biden more?” I’d bet 52% of swing state voters say DJT.

I’ve been getting the mall vibe on Facebook, too. I even get the same sense of nostalgia for FB as I do for malls when I recall how much I used to “love the smell of commerce in the morning” (Mallrats).

Except. You know, they also believe like “thou shalt not kill” doesn’t apply to wars fought in the name of god, freedom, or oil … nor to capital punishment …. Nor police acting in the line of duty (or, usually off duty). Or “standing your ground” or … So it’s nice to look at, but not live by.

It’s funny … antagonizing potential customers at Tesla has the same impact on sales as antagonizing potential advertisers at Twitter. It seems bullying prospects to take their lunch money isn’t scalable.

I remember on IRC, when multiple bots joined a channel, it was a horror show, especially if they both had +ops. Which … also reminds me of S4 of Battlestar Galactica - where conscious Cylons had conflict with the navigator in the base ship. Also. Good use of electricity and coal.
