The long ball to lonely Díaz counterstrike strategy does not seem likely to yield anything good.

As has been noted a million times before, if Joe Biden loses in November, a lot of the things he expended political capital on are not gonna be given another look at by future Democrats for awhile

All the postgame trashing of the dreary, slogging, uninspired play of France under Deschamps *almost* redeems the Euro 24 coverage on Fox.

Good news, everyone. You can get out of admin roles by sending rude sarcastic messages about the content of meetings you're sitting through— which means, for a lot of people I know, just leaking the messages you've already sent.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.

It's hard to communicate how radical this is. For 200 years every politician in America wanted the federal government to pay for things so they could take credit for it. It's a fundamental defining feature of American politics. But now owning the libs is more important. 1/2

If for any reason Joe Biden can't complete a 2nd term, we know who will take over. Her name is Kamala Harris and America already voted for her once. If Donald Trump can't complete a 2nd term, we have no idea who will take over because he TRIED TO HAVE HIS LAST VP MURDERED.

Money well spent, but even in the unlikely even they could get through to the final, is there any world in which they could beat *any* of the four (ok, now three) teams on this side?
