The 19th's coverage of the GOP's abortion platform is literally the only accurate news coverage I have seen in a mainstream publication in the last 24 hours

We are clearly not going to agree on this. So we need to quit fighting amongst ourselves (agree to disagree), Vote Blue and bring awareness to what a Trump presidency will actually look like.

They probably have but didn’t admit it publicly. Trump didn’t come down to the Oval Office till noon and then all he did was watch tv all day and rage tweet. He holds daytime rallies. Plays golf. Schmoozes with guests at Mar a Lago and pretends to be important.

Rest for a president, no matter how young or old is a good thing considering how much stress they’re under every day. Obama famously said that the first time he saw an intelligence briefing he wanted to jump out the window.

Not having events after 8pm doesn’t mean 8pm is bedtime or he stops working. It just means no events. At the end of an already long, exhausting, stressful day, to then have to be out late is shitty. I hated it when I had to do it for work and I wasn’t even POTUS.

I would have voted for Kamala in 2020 but I think she’d dropped out by then. Prop 8 is a good example of how broken the proposition process is. Spend enough $ on ads full of fear mongering and lies and you can buy the desired outcome. Thank god Prop 8’s repeal is on the ballot in Nov.

He will be termed out. Senator Feinstein wasn’t. Unlike Trump and SCOTUS, Biden respects the Constitution.

And FWIW if the Dems quit fighting amongst ourselves and demanding he step down we can focus on beating Trump. If all he gets asked is about stepping down, how is he supposed to focus on Trump?

I see by your emojis you are KHive. I know this sounds awful but consider your vote for him a vote for her. She may not be at the top of the ticket this year, but if (god forbid) anything happens and he can’t fulfill his duties, guess who will be there?

LOLOL deep fried ranch dressing. Because of course. Someone must have said “gee what else can we deep fry?” It’s not enough to deep fry Oreos, twinkies and such. Now we gotta have deep fried ranch dressing! Kudos to whoever perfected the recipe.

Yes! I can’t believe they stopped providing free tests and vaccines AT MINIMUM. Insurance will be happy to make you pay for anything they possibly can and I’ve heard stories about how much ppl have had to pay for the vaccine. It’s ridiculous.

The pandemic is not over. Our government should be providing free tests, masks, and vaccines—bare minimum. We need indoor air quality rules for every workplace in America, universal paid leave, and national healthcare. Reinfection over and over every year with no government action is bullshit.

COVID positive. Had to check the test against a mirror to see the line. Been wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, but had some friends over. Be careful out there! So far, my symptoms are mild, but this isn’t fun.

once more: the majority of white USians voted for trump in 2020 - after 4 years of all that a trump presidency involved. now, if that's not you, wonderful. but seriously ask yourself why it's easier to roll up in BIPOC mentions than to have tough conversations with other white people.

“War”??? 4 months out from the election? Biden’s age is not a new issue. Where were all these loud, panicked demands he not run for reelection before the primaries? There weren’t any. Nobody ran against him. We can’t let buyer’s remorse force him out now and cost us the election.

People felt VERY free to tear chunks off Biden because they figured he was cooked. But driving out a president is a big deal, and now they’ve just potentially mortally wounded him while failing

i don't know how to make it any clearer: the GOP's 14th Amendment platform plank establishing fetal personhood because something something "states' rights" is about as "moderate" and "softened" as it was "moderate" and "soft" to allow chattel slavery in Confederate states
