I’m sure they’d handle a contested convention with zero issues

Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, has scheduled a virtual meeting on Sunday with senior House Democrats to discuss President Biden’s candidacy and the path forward, according to a senior official familiar with the plan.

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

I’m sure the NYT will get right on this https://bsky.app/profile/gregsargent.bsky.social/post/3kwk4nonrr52c

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

I went out and picked up takeout at a Thai restaurant during the debate and the city is just full of happy people enjoying a sunny summer day and not paying any attention. Life's good if we don't fuck up November

Traffic camera discourse rules, the counter argument is entirely “people should be allowed to break laws if they are driving.”

Happens over and over again. Everything we’re told won’t work or is unfair to drivers works and is totally fair to drivers.

This is exactly the kind of shit that scares me: a bunch of dumbasses all waving their guns around and on the verge of turning a block party into the O.K. Corral. It makes any kind of public life in the United States impossible, because everything is at risk.

Biden walks away from the lectern at the end of his press conference just now. Reporter: “Mr. President, can you tell us, sir: Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?” (pauses, turns back, makes this expression, walks away)

i genuinely think the smart political move is for biden to hold a rally tomorrow where he taunts trump and says america will not have a felon for president.

At some point Democratic elected officials will notice that when Donald Trump has a personal setback the majority of the population literally celebrates in the street, I hope.

they made this same polite request of Roberts last year and he gave them the finger. he will almost certainly do the same this time. the Dems are at a crossroads with the courts. if they want voters to understand this as an existential crisis for democracy they need to act like it is one.

I call this kind of thing car supremacy, it is completely preposterous to say *seniors specifically* must have cars and only cars, but car brained people see any kind of other road use as an insult to their social status

Over the weekend, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a piece full of people arguing that seniors need car-centric transportation systems. So I decided to look at what the experts at AARP say. resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/seniors-sa...

On the rare occasion that the @nytimes.com does cover the stakes of the election instead of treating it like a horse race, they use this kind of chickenshit sanitizing language. He's planning to turn independent federal agencies into political instruments and kneecap their effectiveness! Say that!

Uttering a critical word about Netanyahu's genocidal campaign in Gaza gets you smeared as an antisemite, but Trump invoking "reich" in a campaign video results in a multi-paragraph etymology excusing its use.

So, uh 1. It's still up 2. It's very prominent. 3. You're a presidential campaign. Why are you posting unvetted videos? 4. Why is anyone making pro-Reich videos of your candidate? Hmm? 4. Why are your staffers stumbling on those? Again? Hm? Like ... this isn't an accident; it's a campaign culture.

Trump is so sure he won't suffer any consequences that he found time during lunch at his trial to post a fascist video. He thought no one would notice the "Reich" reference, but they did, so he blamed it on a staffer.
