They mistook his inability to handle local press questions for competency.

Michael Bloomberg is still pissed that Democrats didn't roll over and give the nomination to him.

Blinken advised him to go hard on supporting the Iraq War which is why he...kept him around forever and made him SoS. Biden stopped finding new voices decades ago.

I have an inordinate hatred of stupid balls and strikes analogies. Just because John Roberts made a terrible one does not mean you have to compete to find one even dumber.

Are you arguing that these leaks are not deliberate, considered actions by the people being quoted?

In fairness, they definitely think that about everyone. Andreessen, especially, is happy to let everyone knows that he thinks people who work for their money are sub-human.

Seems like a quarter of your face missing should make it not work.

It used to be that we would say, "How can we live in a country where someone can point a rifle at you and they haven't committed a crime until they fire?" Now we live in a country where even the police and secret service are unconcerned until after they fire a shot at someone running for president.

Hitler was a barely literate, failed artist whose biggest political accomplishment was a failed coup. Stalin was a petty criminal and mobster. The people who bring down systems of government are rarely the people who got there normally.

"Many of us support Biden, too, but they are also telling you that you should support Trump. What? Why are you laughing?"
