Sixty-seven years ago this weekend, two teens met at a church gathering and changed the course of history. That meeting is this week’s reason to smile. From 1962 to 1970, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote approximately 180 jointly credited songs, many of which went to number one. — Dan Rather

Friends in Blue — Please read this very thoughtful opinion I read this morning in The Washington Post comment section for a story about the possibility that President Biden may step aside and the Dems will nominate another candidate in his place. The comment was written by a gent named Jerry Weiss:

(3/3) “Moving forward, however, all former presidents will be cloaked in such immunity,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. “If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.”

“I am proud to support Joe Biden as our [Democratic] nominee and I am behind him 100 percent in the fight to defeat Donald Trump. Not only do I believe Joe can win Michigan, I know he can because he’s got the receipts.” — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Let's hope so. 🤨

Friends, in the wake of this morning's SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity, these United States appear to have reached Whiskey Tango Foxtrot DEFCON 1. This is seriously, undeniably, and without question "effed up to the extreme." 😬

If only Justice Amy Coney Barrett were half as funny (and half as just) as she'd like us to believe she is. 🙄

Good afternoon, sports fans! Is anyone out there watching or interested in this year's Tour de France cycling race? It's the Indianapolis 500 of cycling (except that the 2024 race route covers 2,170 miles [3,492 km] during 21 days of racing). Here's a Stage 1 summary video: youtu.be/7gM9JI0ikyg?...

Saw a window sticker that said "My truck identifies as a Prius" but the font kerning was so bad I thought it said PENIS and I was all, "oh, they just straight up admit it now, good for him".

Saturday's online edition of The Washington Post has at least 6 articles, opinion pieces, or short videos suggesting the Democratic Party is considering or should immediately consider dumping President Biden from the ticket and replace him with someone younger and more mentally agile. Traitors! 😠

apparently the old guys from the muppet’s balcony got in a big argument last night?

"Trump has a track record of lying prolifically, but that doesn’t mean Biden never gets fact-checked on CNN [...] The simple truth is, if Trump said fewer factually untrue things, he wouldn’t get fact-checked all the time." — The New Republic staff writer Talia Jane

The former guy is hoping tonight's televised debate will give his floundering campaign some much-needed help.

Analyst Jay Kuo: "At a recent rally, Trump challenged Biden to take a cognitive test, bragging that he had recently passed one administered by his physician, Ronny “Johnson.” He repeated the name several times incorrectly. Yes, indeed, [Trump] got the name of his own cognitive test doctor wrong." 🤣

NEW from The Washington Post: The Biden campaign won a coin toss and chose the lectern position for tonight's debate. The president will appear on the right side of viewers’ screens. The convicted clown will be on the left. The lecterns will stand eight feet apart. 🤨

Good morning, Post friends! Can anyone please tell me why my profile page says I've authored 38 posts, when in fact I've put up just two original posts? 🤔 Also, is there an easy-to-navigate user's manual for this platform? I'm flummoxed about the way posts and comments are ordered. Thanx 🤷‍♂️

Hi, friends! Didja miss me? I've been using Openspace.social for nearly a month, now, and yet it seems like so much longer than that. Between 9 am and 5 pm that place is like a morgue. And after 5 pm it's not a whole lot better. 😬 I miss your company and I'll be moving over here very soon. 😏
