@ManuclearBomb I lived in a French speaking country for several years as a kid and that Merovingian monologue with the cursing had me on the floor. Art.
I'm sitting next to a Lincoln impersonator at the airport bar. He's watching MSNBC reporting on yesterday's assassination attempt. This is easily the most surreal thing I've ever witnessed.
@ettingermentum oh damn if only we could figure out where these whispered "doubts about her governing chops and reliability as a politician" were coming from, surely not these very same people
@ManuclearBomb Learning a bunch of Thom Yorke's guitar parts taught me similarly the value of chords that are like C shapes up the neck with the thumb over the root as an alternative to barre chords. It's great
in the most literal sense, the fact that all of our money goes to pay for weapons and bombs for foreign countries and isn’t reinvested in the American people means foreign policy is a make or break issue for every voter, whether they realize it or not
It's just crazy that a large number of Democrats convinced themselves the New York Times was sabotaging Biden because it wanted Trump to win. Anyone who was saying so should feel shame and be shamed
Folks with large followings on here, whom you may have trusted before, were lying to you for weeks and expecting you to follow them. Reality should come first. They were hurting everyone.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
@CharliePatrick @JStein_WaPo @ryangrim He left out the most likely option—they call for him to stay in, as they have done, he stays in, as he has done, and he loses, as seems very likely. Now they don’t get anything they wanted AnD it’s easy to blame the left for blocking a pivot to a younger candidate
Four Democratic sources tell CBS News that they expect dozens of Democratic lawmakers over the next 48 hours to issue statements calling for President Biden to step out of the race, @margbrennan reports

there was no primary. there was no debate that might have served as an early warning sign. there was a coronation for a guy whose aides knew was no longer up to the job
