I love how 'Brandon' is becoming a positive nickname.  Would be great for Joe or the WH twitter account to mock that even more.  Of all the great protest chants over time, 'the whole world's watching,' 'hell no we won't go,' 'hey hey lbj how many kids did you kill today,' 'no justice no peace,' the best you can do is let's go brandon?  Idiots.

once again, a situation where both sides feel like they’re “winning”. one because they’re idiots with the instincts of a sandbox bully toddler.

I’m a Biden fan but I think there’s a chance that Jill might persuade him to rest on his laurels as a successful long term senator, VP, and POTUS and allow them to live out the rest of their lives enjoying their family and each other. He has nothing left to prove and deserves some time off. I’m much younger and recoil in horror at the thought of having to keep his schedule. 

This is where I’m leaning.

OMG Biden is a very old school Democrat - a feature many of you hate.

And an old school Democratic Senator and Vice President and now President (a position he spent the last half of his life running for) does NOT give up incumbency.

His brain ain’t wired that way.

also he wasn't going to run.  he didn't run in 2016.  he felt a responsibility in 2020 to come in and help fix the country.

you think he looks at the country now and says, yep, all done here?  we're in good hands moving forward?

Exactly. 

Also he didn't run in 2016 because of Beau's death. 

[Incredulity 11838]

Plus the same forces that cleared the way for Biden in 2020 declared it Hillary's turn in '16.

LBJ was a power monger and he quit. Sometimes circumstances help you recognize when it’s time to go, especially when you’ve checked all the boxes career wise.

[Incredulity 11838]

Difference being he served 1.5 terms and was looking at almost certain defeat in '68

LBJ didn't want the humiliation of losing because it was a foregone conclusion.  That is literally the only reason he didn't run again.

Right, the party fractured over Vietnam and he got hardcore challenged by RFK and McCarthy.  

Pretty sure the Dems are not going to hand 2024 to Trump/DeSantis by fracturing the party, especially with rebounding approvals and big legislative wins over the summer.  

[Bama Chick 28596]

And if you’ve read the Robert Caro books, you know LBJ was CONVINCED he was going to die in his late 50s/early 60s like all the men in his family.

He GTFO and then……..

LBJ made kidney stones his bitch.

Just passed a stone, changed his shirt, and continued to kick ass.

 

[safe sex 11879]

Listening to biographies of LBJ, Truman, Carter, both Roosevelts, Grant, and moving on back to Hamilton, Washington, Jefferson, etc., ends up being depressing as fuck because we don't have politicians that come anywhere close to any of those men anymore.

Here is a quote from the speech that Harry Truman gave to Oxford University, on his accepting an honorary degree on June 20,1956:

Quote

"Every person born in the 20th century is entitled to the benefits of the 20th century. We must declare in a new Magna Carta, in a new Declaration of Independence, that henceforth economic wellbeing and security, that health and education and decent living standards are among our inalienable rights."

And look at where we have arrived in tyool 2022. What's even the point anymore?

I dunno. I still know quiet a few people who practice Christianity's original mission of peace and kindness unto others. But the last 50 or so years have certainly seemed to take up the message of grievance and "fuck anyone not like me."

Christian individuals =/= Churches

So you’re both correct.

So how does this work? Does it impact sex crimes from 20 years ago committed by  priests, or is it only going forward from today?  Could those abused by Jeffery Epstein's friends be impacted by this change? 

[Voldemort86 2259]

Seems like it has been a mixed bag recently. The house outlook seems to be improving for dems, but I just noticed that the Atlanta Fed dropped their GDP projection for this quarter from 0.5 to 0.3. A negative rating would be really bad and would ramp up the GOP recession talk into overdrive at the worst possible time. Even if it’s a measly 0.1 or 0.2, need this to be positive.
