They will justify it by the downturn in the polls, which they themselves helped create. Will never occur to them that the polls are reacting to their panic and not the other way around.

It's West Wing Brain. Sure, you could write it up as a compelling TV show arc (Biden steps down in midseason finale, candidate chosen in season finale after overcoming your points) but zero actual thought into how it looks in reality or the real people in charge of executing it

Just saw someone near a Florida beach where trucks with MAGA flags are found regularly standing on the corner of an intersection waving, wearing a "Honk if you think Trump is a moron" sandwich board. Not sure if it was a Die Hard With a Vengeance situation or if the tides are turning on the streets

Yeah because the White House was working on a bill to help those with Parkinson’s disease that was signed this week. This is literal far right disinformation from the New York Times.

What NYT doesn't realize -- and this is already giving them the benefit of the doubt about their motives -- is that when you treat every Trump scandal like it's nothing, you lose all credibility with the public when you fire up the scandal machine for someone else.

Really interesting conversation to have about voters uniting in the face of far-right doom to defy polling and predictions and whether that could translate to America that has a less than zero percent chance of happening in our political media

The demands for a "blitz primary" aren't serious suggestions, they're designed to set the table for delegitimizing Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside for her

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.

We know Biden won't take any of the suggestions on official acts he should now carry out, but if Dems don't make the election primarily about today's immunity decision and drive unprecedented turnout to keep the absolute power of a king away from Trump, the party needs to be replaced in totality

The party that answers every crisis with "Americans must vote their way out of this" knew how old Biden was and ran no one of note against him in the primary. The moment he displays his age elite Dems want to bail and pick a candidate at convention. Couldn't be any more insulting to voters.

The most obvious reason this shouldn't happen is why should we trust Dem leadership to come up with the right candidate when they've Sideshow Bob stepping on rakesed themselves to this point against a party running a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist?

I'd say the answer is to primary every Democrat but we're seeing a handful of Republican sleeper agents take those supposedly Democrat nominations as well. We truly need a realignment of American politics around two new parties and I hope one is unabashedly progressive

I just watched Madame Web, and while I'm not here to say it was good, I don't understand the level of hatred for it. The casting of the hero and villain was terrible, and the direction was somehow worse, but there is the potential for a great movie in there if it gets remade in 20 years.

That should be the message, and if he doesn't, the trials stalled by Trump's collaborators must be expedited so that the American people get the answers they deserve prior to the election so to have a full, clear picture on his actions in office. Anything less amounts to obstruction of justice.

One pick I haven't made on @SportsLine yet today is Carlos Rodon Under Ks. I locked Under 6.5 -170 in at my book but for the site we had it at around -200. I'm hoping to get 5.5 with plus odds on the Under. Here are the picks I've locked in today (+1130 in L118): www.sportsline.com/experts/1489...
