The July 4, 1942 edition of the "Pinedale Logger," the newspaper written by inmates of the concentration camp in my hometown of Fresno, CA, describes a "Gala Fourth Festival" & features a masthead motto from Thomas Paine: "Tyranny, Like Hell, Is Not Easily Conquered."

I think it’s probably both accurate and ass covering. Sadly there will be significant decline every six months for the rest of his life.

I think that’s all true. And I think people who haven’t seen a member of their family deteriorate from dementia can’t wrap their minds around the fact that Biden can be cogent one minute and confused the next. They think there must be some other explanation.

I’m honestly suspicious of any anonymous person advocating for Biden staying on the ticket at this point but I’m sure there are at least some Dems who still earnestly think it’s a good idea

"Overall, more voters thought Mr. Biden should remain the Democratic nominee — but only because more Republicans, perhaps emboldened after the debate, said they now want him as their opponent."

"her animals have been injured..." I get the sense a lot of violence has been committed by Trump supporters over the past year that just hasn't been reported on yet for fear of inspiring more.

New CBS poll: "Nationwide, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they will definitely turn out in 2024. And Republicans currently have a similarly sized turnout advantage across the battleground states, undergirding Trump's edge with likely voters there."

I think she’s a mainstream Dem who’s under the age of 65 and can legally inherit all the cash Biden has raised because it’s her campaign too. If Biden bows out she’s the one.

I think Harris is the strongest choice for a lot of different reasons, not least of which is that she's currently polling the strongest and ahead of Biden.

Yes, I agree. Trump winning any generation is a failure but the millennials one stings when you're in it. But at some point we probably have to confront the fact that Americans in general just aren't good people.
