At this point, I'm starting to feel less revererential to the elderly statesman and more beginning to feel a "let's go Brandon" vibe. IS IT CULTURAL APPROPRIATION TO USURP THAT TERM?

WTF! NO!!! That is NOT what this is all about! His arrogance is astounding!! Reminds me of Trump in 2016 and ever since then, claiming he alone could solve all the world's problems. Not gonna lie... kinda feeling "let's go Brandon" vibes rn.

"As the interview neared its end, Mr. Stephanopoulos pivoted back to realpolitik. “If you stay in, and Trump is elected...how will you feel in January?” “I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all, and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” Mr. Biden said."

It shouldn't be about race or gender- just the electability of a decent person. I guarantee 99.9% of the people who don't want Kamala as the nominee aren't making that decision because they are racist.

Nerding out for a moment- Passive voice. Bane to a high school English teacher and apparently to Democracy. i.e. "mistakes were made" or "you get hit" Also, use of second-person pov i.e. "you" not "i"

That being said, I really like Biden. I was all in for him despite my reservations about his age. However, after seeing him implode last Thursday, I can't keep saying he's the right man for the job while also blasting right at wing leaders as sycophants around Trump.

Respectfully agree to disagree, After Thursday's debate, for me it's not just if Biden can win the presidency again, but should he. Of course, he's 1000x preferable than Trump, but he's clearly diminished greatly. We need a better leader for the next 4 years- not just someone "better than Trump"

This does NOT say “President Biden is up to the job and I have full confidence in him.” Maybe I’m over-reading but it seems like the Democratic Party’s most respected elder statesman is giving himself room to maneuver, which is itself quite telling.

Plus, all the millions they spent in attack ads against Biden to be aired before the election would be moot.

But now it's all been "laid bare"- the emperor has no clothes. And if the Democratic leaders can't acknowledge that but rather keep insisting everything is fine, they are no better than the Republican sycophants propping up Trump.

I agree 100%, but this is no time for the leaders to be coy or hedge their bets. First of all, I feel we've been lied to- people around Biden knew his abilities were not up to the task. Through managed appearances, they somewhat assuaged our anxieties about Biden's age.

Maybe. I'll still vote for him if he is the candidate against Trump. But I wanted him to be successful. You have to admit, Biden doesn't seem capable. We need someone able to not only address Trump's lies but also hold a cogent thought

There is no spin to this. Biden is too old. Trump has a black heart. Biden, please step aside if you care about democracy.

Here's a dem (independent but liberal leaning) not blaming the moderators. Biden isn't fit. But Trump is 1000% worse. But any capable candidate could answer Trump's lies.

Honestly, at this point, if Biden doesn't sep aside, I will- a Gen Xer- be taking a cue from the Gen Zers and "quietly quit" giving a shit about politics. I'll still care, but I can't follow this

If most of the Supreme Court justices are Originalist, how can they justify their own legitimacy to serve on the Supreme Court? In the 18th century, could women, people of color, or even Catholics been allowed by law such positions of power? I'm not asking rhetorically. I'm legit asking.

And now, apparently, not the right to send your kids to public school without being exposed to Christian Nationalist indoctrination. If this bill passes, I will refuse as a teacher, to obey it. We have to draw the line somewhere

I am a public high school teacher in Texas. I have nothing against religion. But I do have a huge problem with government mandated religion. I will get fired before I am mandated to teach in a classroom with the Ten Commandments forcibly displayed. Egregious Constitutional violation

But I think some of their flavors are really great. Blackberry Cobbler and Wedding Cake. PISTACHIO ALMOND! Omg...so good! And I'm not really an ice cream fan.

YES! Mystery solved! Did you like Blue Bell when you were here? As you know, it's kind of a "national" Texas treasure, but my only organic, food snob husband and others thumb their noses at it. Corn syrup ingredients and what not.

Saw this today at the Bandera Dollar General. Someone at Blue
Bell must be a listener of your show because I've never in 50 years of living in Texas seen this Blue Bell flavor before...
