No no no no. Harris is a wet blanket and a HORRIBLE campaigner. Can’t be her. Butti.

Voters left, right, and middle are asking for new candidates. The Dems should be the party of the people and given them what they want instead of being subservient to the current president’s ego.

Much like RBG’s unwillingness to see reality, Biden’s hubris is going to fuck this country more than Trump by himself ever could. The real dichotomy is NEEDING to beat Trump no matter what then seeing the data and thinking, “yeah, this is salvageable with Biden.”

This doesn’t answer your question really, but 72% of independent voters think the Dems need a new candidate.

An unfairly maligned formulation of the true meaning of the separation of powers, according to today’s Supreme Court majority.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

There only one viable option w a switch IMHO and that’s Butti. He’s the best communicator in the party, has run before and has the national name recognition you’d need in this circumstance. He’s also a part of the admin which could help project cohesion in a chaotic moment.

Dems have been hiding their concerns about the Biden ticket for a while. He said he’d be a one term guy in 2020, but now that’s he’s running, and bc he’s POTUS, no one has been willing to outwardly challenge his decision. Now that he’s floundering that hesitation to criticize is waining.

I’m gonna guess you aren’t from StL and don’t actually know that much about Cori. As another commenter mentioned, Cori does an excellent job representing her constituents while championing human rights in the US and abroad. Cori Bush is awful?! You’re telling on yourself.

Wesley Bell violated my 4A rights. I have a judges order to prove it. He tried to nail me to a cross (without evidence) so he could stand on the courthouse steps & pound his chest about keeping the community “safe”. Anyone willing to violate a constituent’s rights to get ahead is unfit to serve.

But that would likely exclude Durkin, who I’d argue has been a top 2-3 field player for us this year along w Totland and Parker.

Maybe a diamond w Edu on a wing and Durkin as the double pivot? That seems weird tho.

Maybe Teuchert plays a sort of inverted wing opposite Indy with Hartel at the 10? I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around it.

I’m interested to see how Klauss, Hartel, and Teuchert all fit together given our current strength at the 6/8. I don’t see how they fit into the 4-2-3-1 since neither Hartel or Teuchert are really wings.

Right, but by selling AZ to Columbus we effectively get $300k GAM + Hartel’s rights for AZ Which is a hell of a deal considering we bought AZ for $150k and Hartel is worth £4.5Mish

It’s the day before Father’s Day, 1998. I’m 13 and don’t have a gift for my dad. Mom takes me to Schuncks & I buy two #StLCards tickets to a game against the Cubs on September 8th.

If you know, you know.

Happy Father’s Day.

This camp, coupled w Allied spies planting false information, led Hitler to believe the attack would come from the north & stationed all his panzers near Calais. When the 101st, among others, succeed in blowing the bridges between Calais & Normandy, Hitler’s biggest military strength was trapped.

Fun DDay Fact: The Allied forces setup a fake invasion force in southern England, across from Calais France, which is the shortest point for crossing the channel. You can see across the channel in Calais, so they use cardboard tanks, etc to see the rouse.

My house backs up to a wooded area. In the summer I sit on my back deck and watch the lights show as the all flicker against the night sky. You can come for dinner sometime & watch. I’ll make cronchy fries!
