I'm so happy he's back on the campaign trail! It gives me something to laugh at every day, and great hope that every time he starts his verbal gibberish puking, one more person will hear him and see the insanity on full display.

MFers, give me a break.

Good thing tfg remains sharp as tack. Or they would have you believe, in comparison. MFers, them all.

The funny thing is that Biden probably could. Turnip would go of on a rant about worms, and fish, and that Boy who cut his lawn if asked.

OMG, must be a day that ends in Y! Fuck the NYT! Everyday! But especially, today. As a lifelong NYer, the wife is very reticent to kill her NYT subscription. Maybe this will do it.

It's not the paper of record it once was, but it's all corporate journalism nowadays.

Just wanted to highlight that.

Fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution @ajc]
The AJC Editorial Board is publishing a front page editorial Sunday calling on President Joe Biden to step aside after Thursday’s debate in Atlanta. In an impassioned campaign rally on Friday, Biden tried to convince American voters that his alarming performance on a debate stage here in Atlanta the night before was an aberration.

I'm assuming the accusation of being silent meant the editorial board, though, not the news side of the house.

Kristol has been on the "replace Biden" bandwagon for a year. He finally gave it up a couple of months ago (at least on MTN, where he hangs out). So it was a short hop for him to get back up on that bandwagon.

Asshole.

"Don't think he should be running for election" does NOT equal "Should drop out" and definitely does NOT equal "Will not vote for him over the other guy who you somehow didn't bother to ask whether HE should be running for re-election."

Good points. I fall into the "Don't think he should be running for election" camp, but definitely NOT the "Should drop out" one. Strongly not.

The die has been cast. It is what it is. And all that. Now is the time to stand behind him, and build him up. Not tear him down.

NYT has a long history of being on the right side of issues.

I'm starting to think that maybe the failing NY Times Editorial Board hurted the failing NY Times.

Dana Bash/CNN/State of the Union just got walked all over by Lindsay Graham, really sad. I dunno what is up with her these days. I'm sure there will be clips.

It's different when a Democrat does it. People expect nonsense from the GOP.
