    This is the hard part for committed progressives and political junkies to understand: Biden was never particularily popular, but represented a digestible alternative for low information swing voters to Trump's invective and boobish presidential term. They could swallow his age then. Increasingly, they can't now, and by staying the race and showing the candidate energy of a near corpse, he's letting the GOP slowly convince the same low information swing voters that maybe they can live with another Trump term, since they are clearly stating they don't think Biden is capable as either a candidate or a elected official.

    No, No. You don't understand: There is a close knit circle of advisors and family members who REALLY understand what America wants, and see that Biden is actually WILDLY popular, all polls are wrong, and he's got the Mo, Jack. The vast bulk of his party being in the dumps, depressed, and resigned to a second Trump term and future GOP autocracy is just Elite (TM) talk.

    If the GOP convention suddenly looks like the 2004 GOP convention, and Trump comes out playing peacemaker on Thursday....then we will have some news that worth paying attention too. If it's the same swamp of conspiracy theories, "FAKE NEWS," nonsensical anti-leftest drival, and Trump comes out and does one of his stream of consciousness brain dumps that include sharks and weak showers(with added NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE [TM]), next Monday we will likely be back to how do the Democrats get rid of Biden.

    One of my sons plays D&D, so this is a nerd reference, but spot on: Trump rolls nothing but Natural 20s. It's frankly unbelievable. He's basically Domino from Deadpool 2.

    Dude is the luckiest person alive. How is he not playing the Powerball every week?

    You’ll get no defense out of me of LBJ as a human being in daily life.

    Yes. And Dallek.

    Sure, buddy. Also, Robert Caro spends an awful lot of time hating on a man who did this:

    Do you think Biden would have survived that SS tackle or are you chortling at how feeble he is?

    I’m not sure, barring Trump coming out with some sort of Kum-ba-ya Reaganesque “we all need to come together to save America and I’m the first to moderate ” moment, this changed things all that much, other than making him look much more physically robust than Biden. What reliable likely voters are most likely to change their vote based on Saturday: older white men who consider themselves Reagan Republicans who are likely to rally back to the GOP flag. The question is whether they stay there when the crazy starts to creep back in. By Wednesday we are going to be shoulder deep in GQP conspiracy and angry talk. Maybe, Trump’s folks will tone the convention down, but what in recent memory has shown any indication they ever take their foot off the gas? Maybe the entire country will Rally to Trump like Johnson in 64, but that seems….unlikely given how deep our political divisions are.

    Also: it’s often a box you check in closed primary states when you get a drivers license. I did it last year when I moved back into the District.

    I was not going to post here, but it sorta confirms the rule/joke that you can get anywhere by carrying a ladder and looking official.

    I mean, I guess remaking Winter Soldier is a creative choice, but it doesn't give me any confidence that Marvel has shaken itself out of the rut it is in.

    Honestly, this is a better gif for the city rn. I'm going to get absolutely shit ass tonight.

    The House decides. By state delegation. Assuming you don’t have a faithless elector.

    Dude, that is not the preferred nomenclature.

    Real Talk: It's not clear to me that Joe will be able to be publicly sworn in next January even if he wins. This is why he's gotta step aside: It's more than a little fucking morbid that there are people on this thread who are essentially advancing a "Joe is just gotta win, then he can drop dead" line. Let's be honest, that was the line in 2020, when we all just needed him to get sworn in, then democracy saved. The fact that he is running again after that was the game plan 4 years ago is appalling.

    lot of too soon Charlie Strong and Mack Brown failing Texas football references in this thread.

    This. How many times do I have to say there is no Peak Trump. It's never going to happen. He could shoot Biden during a debate, take a shit on stage, smear it all over himself, and fuck a goat and 45% of the voting public will vote for him.

    Veep is a documentary.
