I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

Holy shit, the Supreme Court actually wrote that Trump telling Pence to claim the wildly unconstitutional power to single-handedly reject certified Electoral College votes, thereby overthrowing Constitutional democracy, can't be illegal because POTUS and VP talking about it makes it an official act.

The Telegraph reports that Keir Starmer, on his first day as Prime Minister, is scrapping the "Rwanda scheme,' the Tory plan to deport all asylum seekers & undocumented immigrants to Rwanda wherever they are from.
(This was a Starmer platform promise.)

This week SCOTUS killed Chevron deference, gave Trump total immunity, and Trump was credibly tied to Epstein, and it seems to me if your campaign somehow seriously can't find a way to then change the topic of conversation in the newspapers or stop your party panicking, what are we doing here exactly

All this reminds me of being in law school, in ethics/professional responsibility class, and the canons re: not fucking clients As a 30 year old married grad student I was very frustrated having to explain to my classmates, “do not focus on the exceptions. Treat it as a categorical. Do not fuck”

Tell me I'm wrong: A bunch of the media and donor class panicked, for good reason, after the debate. Made a big coordinated push to make Biden step aside. Didn't work, wounding pride of lots of big egos. Now too miffed to concede so stuck denying that Biden can win to justify continued aid to Trump.

The Presidential Purge ruling gives him the perfect excuse to bow out. “I can’t be president, run for president, AND deal with the SCOTUS insanity all at once.” Pick two: I’m bowing out from the reelect.

The article says that Biden wasn't "old" (aka displaying these new symptoms) in 2023, but a review of @washingtonpost.com 2023 Biden articles definitely has him as being too old for the job then. So which is it? If you were wrong last year, why should we believe you now?

I do think we should make accommodations to local usage — for example, that Iceland the preferred mode of address is first name, since surnames are just patronyms. Eg Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson should be referred to as “PM Bjarni”

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

I think One Punch Man is on both Hulu and Netflix. Normally I don’t like anime, but I find it hilarious. It satirizes the superhero genre. The eponymous One Punch Man, Saitama, is just a guy in a suit who is completely invulnerable and can destroy any adversary in one punch.
