President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

He was 68. RIP. I have his memoirs sitting on my desk.

Ash Carter, defense chief who opened combat to women, dies

 

I’ve discovered that it might not be possible to get an accurate read on the Hochul-Zeldin and Fetterman-Oz debates from Twitter!

Couldn’t watch either. Seems like Fetterman had some speech issues, which was not a shock. And Oz perhaps made the biggest mistake.

Have seen little if the NY gubernatorial debate. Which is probably good for Hochul as Zeldin needed some sort of giant shocker.

 

Oh, the Dobbs leak was completely calculated and on purpose. The pro-choice wave it created will be but a ripple by Election Day.

 

BIRTH PANELS!!!!!!

 

Saw a few clips. Fetterman definitely has recovery issues. And he wasn’t a polished speaker before. But Oz being a smarmy carpetbagger and his women’s health care gaffe might make it a wash.

Fetterman’s “I got knocked down and I got back up” message could resonate with Pennsylvania voters.

As for the Fetterman-Herschel Walker comparison? Fetterman can fully recover.

Could be wrong, but doubt Pennsylvania debate changes much.

 

BROTHER!

 

It's like the potentially apocryphal Winston Churchill story. An MP supposedly saw him stumbling home drunk and disheveled one night and said, “Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk.”

Churchill replied, "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow
I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

Fetterman may have trouble speaking, but he will improve and Oz will still be a scam artist ready to do the bidding of the far right.

Alito says leaked abortion opinion made conservative justices 'targets for assassination'

 

Will destroying democracy help reduce inflation? We talked to five antisemitic Republican voters at a McDonald's in Warren, Ohio to find out.

 

Telling people at work that I go to Chicago and that I ride the L, you’d think I told them I run drugs from Colombia from their reactions.

They have many opinions about the city they refuse to go within 25 miles of.
