i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

Trump’s public schedule showed that on most days, he worked (“worked”), like three hours a day. And this isn’t even a “Biden can’t work late at night” issue. It’s a Biden is pulling back on SCHEDULED EVENTS that start after 8pm, which is actually a good idea for most people.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

“Doggett, who was 21 during the 1968 convention, said he was not concerned this year's DNC would fall into chaos as it did that year.” Sick burn, Texas Tribune.

I'm not trying to be flip here but is Doggett also planning to step aside? I think this is a good time for a lot of these folks to retire from office.

An appreciated presence during my years in Austin. I saw so many shows in those days, I read so many of his pieces. RIP.

As an Official act, Biden should seize all of Trump's properties and and use them to house the homeless. This will prevent them from going to jail because they are homeless.

Is it an official act to order Seal Team 6 to arrest (with extreme prejudice) a domestic terrorist? Asking for an acquaintance who keeps texting me but who is too old to be on social media
