Alright, @JoeBiden. Challenge Trump to another debate asap. He’ll try to avoid it, but no one will believe it’s because he feels sorry for you. And it will show you and your team are confident you’re up to it. What’s the downside — if you’re confident you still have it in you?

Today would be a good day for a fiery, at least partly-unscripted Biden to come out swinging hard against the extreme MAGA Supreme Court and the wannabe dictator it’s determined to empower and protect.

There would be a 7-2 center-left majority on the Supreme Court today if narcissists and fools hadn't voted for Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in 2016, or sat out the election entirely, because they told themselves that "the lesser of two evils is still evil."

Ignore calls to replace Biden with anyone not named Harris that don’t mention the $$$ and ballot access issues involved.

I’m so old I remember when Ron DeSantis was going to crush it on the national stage because he was a young and popular governor who cruised to re-election.

I’m so old I remember when Ron DeSantis was going to crush it on the national stage because he easily won re-election in Florida.

If only our elite, highly-educated media class thought at least part of their job and responsibility as citizen-pundits was to defend the relative importance of superior presidenting over superior campaigning, and not adopt what they take to be the shallow motivations of voters.

I guess it makes a kind of sense that the same newspaper that can’t call Trump a liar called on Biden to drop out of the race.

Many are down on Kamala Harris’ political skills and appeal. Not unreasonably. But to many of those same people she seemed like the Second Coming of Obama until she actually ran for POTUS. My point? Whitmer et al are also unproven on the national stage until they actually run.

Shame on Jake Tapper, who was the first reporter to get John Kelly on the record that Trump told him wounded and dead soldiers were suckers and losers… and sat silent while Trump denied it and called Kelly a liar.

How Trump and Repubs work the refs and get Dems to self-censor: There was a huge gap between Trump’s affect and energy last night compared to recent weeks in court and on the campaign trail. And he’s a known drug user. But no one asks what he was on last night.

Fun fact: Trump led the GOP to a fluke victory in 2016 (with assists from J. Comey, V. Putin, and E. College) followed by GOP defeats in every national and off-year election cycle since (with the lone exception of the Virginia governor’s race in 2021).

Three key developments yesterday: *Sinema bows out in AZ, ensuring @RubenGallego beats Loony Lake *NC GOP nominates vicious Holocaust-denier & gay/trans-hater for Gov, putting NC in play *CA Dems avoid expensive divisive runoff in Sen race, freeing $, energy for House races.

If they can expel George Santos from Congress for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign donations and spending it on luxury items and porn, they can do it to any of us.

I was obsessed with this when it was first published - The Beatles in 1996 as imagined by Mad Magazine in 1976.

Lee, Biden already beat Trump once. Which 2020 Biden states do you think he’ll lose in 2024 vs. Trump that Phillips will hold on to?

That’s not entirely untrue, but not in a way Barton and presumably Johnson mean. In a highly sectarian world made up of dissenting sects that fled England and the Anglican Church, the Founders did want to protect any sect or sects from using state power to impose their will upon the others.

Disagree. If you represent rightfully image-obsessed stars like Tom Cruise you need to curate your own public profile, too. (Wish I could underscore or italicize “represent”.)

She gets paid a lot of money to represent the biggest movie stars in the world. This was professional malpractice on her part. But she hasn’t been doxxed, harassed or fired, let alone worse.

It’s also a misunderstanding of what it means to be the adult in the room — or a parent — if it means always placating or capitulating to the children in the room.
