President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I wonder if the smartest thing Trump did was avoid a second debate with Harris close to the election. I wonder if the dumbest thing she did was not continually challenge him on that.

 

Good gawd I don't even want to think of what his state funeral will be like. The SOTU he turned into a game show was bad enough.

 

My fellow Americans, and they feel so distant right now, watched Trump infect them all with his greasy feels and said, “Thank you, sir, may I have another?” That’s the cold, awful truth I’m left to stew in this morning, and many mornings thereafter.

Democracy died in plain sight

 

I read Whik first thing this morning. Fantastic column.

Whik picked McMahon. I might have used W.C. Fields: “If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”

 

... because maybe he would have talked about Arnold Palmer's dick and acted like he was blowing the microphone and that would have swung the election?

 

".....come on down Mr. Jackson...." How soon can we get him to higher office?

 

Debate was not going to change the vote. Frankly IMHO these latent nationalist views are baked in and those voters were never going to give them up. At least that's what a minority is conditioned to think and to surmise.

 

Friend of SJ, Charles P. Pierce, on last night and our future …

I’m Absolutely Sure America Is About to Get Exactly What It Wants

 

I don't usually make outlandish statements, but facts is facts: Trump is Trump. He beat two women and lost to a rather generic man.

 

True, Trump won't be able to implement most of the crazy, but he will get to install two crazy SCOTUS justices.

 

I'm not so sure about the former, but the latter is almost definitely true.
