Yikes! The guy does not deserve four more years as president"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

This is an interesting podcast with Kellyanne Conway and David Plouffe. Nice to listen to two people on opposite sides of the aisle be able to have a civil, somewhat objective conversation.

Stories like that make me angry. Skipping important meetings with international leaders in the middle of a European war is inexcusable, much worse than looking like a vegetable in a televised debate.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

It won't be helpful to our "democracy" to have conspiracy about the MSM and Democrat Party conspiring against the American People to be confirmed right before folks' very eyes. I know the preservation of democracy is such a hot issue to many so I have no doubt they will be all over understanding the implications of this one.Originally posted by YOhio View Post

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Biden needs to step down. Jeff was right. I underestimated the seriousness of his decline, by pointing out the pass Trump has gotten for his senior moments. Side by side, Trump isn't sane, but he has more life and confidence. Elderly people can be notoriously stubborn. Trump's dysfunction isn't an excuse for Biden; rather it makes addressing it more urgent.
Still, I'd vote for Biden over Trump no contest. I'd vote for my cat or or dog or a newborn infant or house plant before I'd vote him.
And RFK Jr is not an alternative. Like Trump he has been immune from ordinary life because of privilege and fame. He has less malice but he is kind of dumb. He seems like he wants to be a Green Party candidate one minute and a Libertarian the next while not quite understanding the ethical framework of either movement. He's like a yoga mom who has discovered a neat blog or podcast and suddenly believes they are enlightened.

Indeed. Just a prelude of Trump planning NATO's downfall. German intel is already planning for this. They should have upped their defensive and security spending before this though.Originally posted by YOhio View Post

Also, I don't really have any awareness of Kamala Harris have any gravitas in terms of foreign policy. That doesn't inspire confidence.
We need skilled diplomats more than ever.

There was an interesting opinion piece in the Journal this morning about how under current election law Biden needs to stay in it until he is the official nominee and then he can step down and the $100M raised by his campaign can go towards Kamala. If he steps down now then he can only route $2K of his campaign fund to another candidate.
Lawyers would of course litigate all this and who knows how it would all turn out, but it was an interesting read all the same.

It seems the Dems have all their differences worked out concerning Grandpa Joe…
They’re “riding with Biden”…

Any young democrat who dares speak up against the boss gets taken behind the woodshed and straightened out quickly. It looks like the Biden crime family is going to survive the sfida al capo after all."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Here is Grandpa Joe's chance to win this thing... All he has to do is beat Trump at his own game.
And Trump is even giving him 20 strokes and bathroom breaks."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
