Me.

Yeah, it delays the trial and we won't get a conviction before the election. But you know what? We are sentient human beings capable of drawing our own conclusions. You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows.

BREAKING: Judge Aileen Cannon halts some Trump deadlines in the Mar-a-Lago proceedings and creates a substantial delay in the case by setting a briefing schedule to precede deciding whether there will be supplemental briefing regarding the effect of Trump v. U.S. on the case.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.

If you paid attention to Trump's side of the debate, he had the same underlying problem Biden did, where over and over he would start a sentence and realize he couldn't say or remember the words that would come next, but where Biden stalled out, Trump just switched to blurting something unrelated

Donald Trump has good days and bad days but increasingly only bad days. He's lost it - he can't focus and his brains are leaking out his ears, but the press is very impressed with him because HE CAN STILL SHOUT

This is pretty good news, and I hope the poll isn't an outlier. Maybe it will get even better once people learn about the "2nd American Revolution" plans. I can't help but wonder what's up in Pennsylvania, where the gap widened.

Biden trails Trump by just 2 points across key states, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows, even as three in 10 Democrats say he should leave the race trib.al/GlWZVox

Tried going furniture shopping with my wife this morning; I couldn't make it to more than one store. It's a tough day to be out on concrete sidewalks. I went home.

Can someone tell me where NYT hid Trump's attempts to disown Heritage's fascist project? I mean, holy hell, that's the only reporting on Trump they do anymore?

I want a Phoenix. I want Biden to drive a steamroller over this NYT narrative. With or without the aviators, "I'm comin' to getcha, mother****s"

There ain't no other ship. People talking about replacing Biden are like the people who went to the roofs of the WTC on 9/11, thinking big airplanes and helicopters would save them. No; this is it and we need to make sure this horse wins.

Thanks, Mom.

Why I Don't Vote (OK, I Do Vote, but I Would Like to Discourage You, NY Times Reader, For Doing So For Some Reason) Via @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

IMO the biggest problem with Biden's age is the fact that Trump wants to be a dictator on day one and it doesn't look like there's anything or anyone in our institutions that are willing or able to stop him.

Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?
