Tough part for his campaign is that the reason he can do the job (unelected bureaucrats can do all the real work so it’s fine if the president is a vegetable) isn’t something they can say out loud

for me the Biden conversation is entirely about whether he can win in November. i’m not worried about whether he can actually do the job because i don’t think it’s a real job.

This is very much where I am. I am not being paid to worry about this, so I'm going to mind my own business and vote for whoever is running come November

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

For real though it sucks that Britain, a damp rock the size of one of my city's medium sized parks, has a legislature with more representatives than the United States. We deserve better.

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.

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"

I would just say that a young live-in nanny on her first day during a pandemic shutdown when this is now her housing has a questionable ability to consent to her rich famous employer, leaving aside all other considerations

Leaving aside all other considerations, starting a sexual relationship with your small child's nanny is gross, and doing so on her first day is ????

I found s2 of The Bear to be really uneven. I am a little worried that The Bear has fallen into the same trap as Ted Lasso (great first season, and then progressively worse quality as it buys into its own mythology)

in my area, a lot of the trump guys are like, people who have lived in a rural area that was, until recently, really depressed, so it's not that surprising they'd be conservative. but they're also not fucking freaks, and the republican party is the party of fucking freaks these days

the idea that it's a hyper individualistic and specifically American flaw of character to want to leave a country falling into fascism is so funny because that is like morally one of the best reasons that people have had, historically, for moving to America!

One reassuring thought I have is the reason the Republicans are frantically trying to do all their evil shit now is they've made themselves a cult of personality around Trump, and there is no one waiting in the wings to be the center of that cult when he dies

I get that Sulzberger is really pissed that Biden didn't give him an exclusive interview, but you'd think that an unelected panel destroying several basic functions of our democracy would worry him enough to devote headlines to it instead of his personal vendettas

The Ford pardon of Nixon would have been totally unnecessary. A million other actions and arguments in American history assume presidents aren't immune. It's a totally new idea, nowhere in text or American tradition. Arguably the least originalist major SCOTUS decision in American history.
