Now I understand why YankGuy predicted Trump will win the Presidency.
Meanwhile, the SCOTUS has reaffirmed its commitment to stare decisis. Or not.
I suggest that Joe has lived long enough and honed a fierce political intelligence over six decades, which will allow him to be self-aware and confront that he can no longer think on his feet when it s called for. I think there is a growing probability that he will in a few weeks formally step down from his candidacy and name a torch-bearer, most likely Harris. I am noticing prominent progressives, like Nick Kristof, who are suggesting he step aside. Others are speaking with silence, never a good sign.I really thought Biden would do better, and wonder if the no audience format put him at a disadvantage. He seems to thrive more with a crowd, even one instructed to silence. But generally, I think the Office has worn him out. Would I be thrilled by a roaring comeback in the second debate? Of course. But I dont see it as likely.Quote from: Hairy Lime on June 28, 2024, 10:36:19 AMMeanwhile, the SCOTUS has reaffirmed its commitment to stare decisis. Or not.Torpedoing the Chevron Deference? Thats the sad story I am reading this morning. Harder for agencies to do their jobs - continues the retarded redneck nose-thumbing at expertise generally.

And stare decisis is a meaningless doctrine if it only applies to decisions you agree with.

For the love of God, Buddha, Mohammed, Brahma and democracy, Joe, please step down at the August convention and endorse someone else...Harris, Whitmer, Newsom, Beshear, Booker, Klobuchar, anyone who can rally voters and does not have vacant moments.
