President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not precisely a ringing endorsement.

she wasn’t very good. But I’m not sure it really matters much. Major political candidates Are basically functioning like celebrities, Many of them have stopped doing non-fawning interviews altogether.

 

And the walrus was Paul.

 

Socialism for me, not for thee.

Poor babies.

 

The Cools vs. The Podcasting Cools!

 

My sense of the media mood is this: Trump is awful. He needs to lose. And once he does, Kamala Harris will be held unusually accountable for a Democratic President, in part because we spent years using kid gloves on Biden because Trump was so awful.

Biden was a means to an end - of Trump's presidential reign. He did not have a good four years and in any other non-Trump time the stuff involving his son would have been an unmitigated media maelstrom.

And Harris will bear much more criticism as a result. It's too bad. But it'll happen.

 

Reach out, reach out and touch someone …

 

It's my middle name (and FWIW, I've pretty much always gone through life downplaying that fact)
