"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

On the contrary, this is clearly evidence of us NOT living in simulation since it is really too obvious and unbelievable to be included in any work of fiction.

Folks, you will ALWAYS be voting for the lesser evil. There will never be a perfect candidate. Humans are flawed. Democracy is always compromise. Not voting is not an option. kevinmkruse.substack.com/p/not-voting

Compared to what? Trump? The fantasy of "replacing" him with..... someone? Every replacement mentioned has clearly said NO. It is time to stop fantasizing about a different candidate and get serious about backing the one we have.

Yes it is. As the linked article makes clear aging can make a stutter more difficult to handle. I cannot believe people make these crazy diagnoses with no expertise on the issue on the basis of a shitty debate performance as if the last four years of governing just didn't happen. "

Experts who know that difficulties in communication are NOT signs of cognitive decline. This is not "generalities about aging," but specific to the claims about how laypeople misinterpret such difficulties, especially with stutterers, which Biden is. Pelosi is no expert.

Your ability to diagnose mental decline greatly outstrips your expertise in making that diagnosis. Real experts in cognitive ability and aging know better. www.publicnotice.co/p/biden-deba...

I wish it were true that the president might find it difficult to find a military member who would hesitate to commit murder. I have serious doubts that is the case.

Setting the bar kinda high there. How about a string of vigorous campaign appearances and a good debate in September? Does nothing matter except one debate performance in June when the election is November?

What I like to do when evaluating someone for a job is ignore the three and a half years of their pretty good performance, ignore the four years of disastrous performance of their replacement and judge them by that 90 minutes I saw them on TV and thought, "They seem old."

THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS was one of the funniest films I ever saw back as a 20-something in 1983. I'm kinda afraid to see it now. Another drawback is that the discovery of the elevator killer's identity was the greatest reveal in cinema history, and "these kids today" simply won't appreciate it.

Dear Reporters,
If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job.
