It's good to see how toned down the rhetoric has become.

Well said

Public and private reps

I know these things take time, but shouldn’t SOMEONE from the Secret Service been relieved of their duties by now?

It’s almost impossible to get fired from a government job. My late brother in law spent his entire career working for the federal government. The things he would talk about seeing go on were maddening. When he got enough time in to retire with a full pension, he jumped at it. They tried to convince him to stay, but he had had enough. He used to joke, but was just a bit serious, that short of killing your boss, you couldn’t lose your job.

Well, Trump was shot at and almost killed by a 20 year old kid who failed to make his high school’s rifle team, yet somehow out maneuvered the secret service and law enforcement. Wouldn’t this be, yunno, a special case or something??

And in other news, Biden has announced he will not run for reelection. So…

Here's hoping they pick someone decent.

Should also add that he's not going to resign, hence you will not see Kamala Harris ascending to the Presidency right away.

What's unclear now is whether or not he releases his delegates to Kamala Harris or whether or not they have a 3-week vetting period between other top Democrats like Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, etc. It's the first time since 1968 that a sitting president that's not term-limited is not seeking re-election.

I for one would be THRILLED with “Decent”!!!

Nothing he said was untrue

Except for 90% of it being speculation and opinion.

All of this is pure speculation/opinion...all of it. People really have trouble discerning fact and opinion these days


-now he would blow trump on nat'l tv.
-God is saying "go fuck yourself"
-He will fire everybody just like he did with his own admin.
-Your passport renewal will take 3 yrs.
-He will release the J6 cop killers, do putin's work in Ukraine and defund nato.
-we can do much better.

Guess the dementia talk will turn to trump now.

You're the betting expert; what are the odds now that Biden will no longer be the Democratic nominee?

Let's have George Clooney decide who should run for president, talk about threat to democracy... What a joke the Democratic Party has become. If the Republicans would have thrown out just about anyone other then Trump this would be a landslide victory
