Joe Biden has shown very good judgment over the years, and he's well aware that the people telling him to step down are now, and have always been, idiots.

The important thing about people like the Disney Heiress is that they've never had to be correct about anything and people still listen to them. They don't know anything and they don't know that they don't know anything.

We put an addition on my 100+ year old home and watching them open that wall and seeing how the place was actually built dispelled a lot of my preconceptions about how Built To Last my house is.

not for nothing but if i were in the biden admin, i’d ram a whole megaton of maximizing executive orders through while every reporter in america is fixated on biden old, since they’re clearly not going to cover anything else this week.

Between this and overturning Chevron, the Court wants it so that the ONLY powers the President has are to corruptly bully and intimidate people.

This is where I'm at. I try to explain to people that Canada is in fact its own country and not just extra-U.S., and they don't necessarily want you and a few million other people to just move there.

My thoughts on this changed when I read a particularly obnoxious opinion making allusions to both the Odyssey and Joyce's Ulysses in a case involving a woman struggling without a lawyer to reclaim custody of her child from the state.

I know there was a big trend of judges being silly so law blogs would find them witty. Personally I think most judges and lawyers can't tell good jokes and any joke in an opinion is at the expense of someone. Opinions don't have to be dour, but they shouldn't make like of the parties.

I think this is dead wrong. Each case isn't just about precedent, it's about the parties involved. Someone's rights are being impacted. Too many opinions try to be Cute in a way deeply insulting to the actual litigants. If I lost my rights, I'd be extra pissed if the judge did it in rhyme.

A great thing about Biden is, you barely have to think about him either. Until this week when he sounded old in public, basically no one was on constant alert wondering what the president was going to do.

I don't want Biden to quit but I really don't understand why people think Harris wouldn't be viable. I'm in Philadelphia and she would absolutely crush it here, and there's no state to the left of PA that she loses. What am I missing?

What this shows is that Biden needs to be out in front of cameras reassuring people that this was a one-off bad night, and not doing so reinforces concerns about his ability to do so.

Trump tells his rally crowd Chuck Schumer has “become a Palestinian.” Second time this week he’s used “Palestinian” to describe non-Palestinians he dislikes as if the word is a slur. I remain skeptical of the claim that Trump becoming president next year would improve the lives of Palestinians.

I'm pretty sure Harris would get great numbers in Pennsylvania, and she's not going to lose any state to the left of Pennsylvania.

Yeah, Biden saved our economy, causing me to get a good job, used the military to get me my vaccine, gave me $300/month per kid for a year, and maneuvered Joe Manchin to pass the biggest climate bill in history, l'm not gonna let him lose to the "You're Fired" guy just because he got old.
