Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

The polls are worse, by a lot. He is absolutely sinking and not coming back.

Would all those guys lose to Trump? Probably. Will Biden lose to Trump? Definitely. I’ll take long odds over no odds.

He could govern. No sane person can deny that Biden is not as mentally acute as he was four years ago.

I voted uncommitted for a lot of reasons, and this is one of them. Getting Biden out and having a brokered convention certainly expresses my democratic will.

Absolutely nothing about this case is a mere reiteration of anything before it.

All Biden has to do is claim that it’s an official act, because Trump is a terrorist, a threat to the Constitution, or some other questionable legal pretext. The problem is that there’s no remedy against such a claim. It could be litigated and go to SCOTUS again, who would have to decide whether it’s an official act or not. But this ruling gives no definite rule on what does or does not count as an official act.

What the vice president’s duty is is not subjective. It’s prescribed in the constitution and clear as day. Donald Trump’s specious interpretation of his role is irrelevant.

In ordinary situations, you’re presumed innocent until proven guilty. When you’re the president, according to SCOTUS, it’s presumed that the law doesn’t even apply to you because of immunity. And proving that it applies to you requires proving that what you did was or was not a nebulously defined “official act.”

This ruling will make it virtually impossible to convict a former president of anything.

If he’s such an existential threat (and he is), why the fuck are they not forcing the geriatric incompetent running on their ticket to drop out? They’re sleepwalking into fascism and it’s terrifying.

I’m against Biden but I’ll vote for him if I have to. He should absolutely drop out of the race. He’s going to RBG us.

No man it was legitimately bad. Biden did horrible. I’m terrified that we’re gonna see a significant slip in the polls after that disaster.
