Re:    election

Forbes out with this:



"Selecting from a female-only pool sends the message that if the decision were sex-blind, he wouldn't have chosen a woman - that women couldn't earn this position on their own, without some help.

"If Biden had chosen the best candidate without regard to gender, it's still very likely the candidate would have been female.  And her appointment would not have been diminished by his narrowing down the field by gender beforehand."


Exactly.

Plus the best pick might still be a man - and then what do yo do - after boxing yourself in?

... lethargy and complacency.  Many Americans breathe bad air,  eat shitty food, and embrace a car culture that deprives them of the most minimal exercise.  They are thus tired and passively willing to go with the flow,  no matter how foul that flow may be. ..,,,,,,,etc. etc.

LOL!
The latest soundbite of garbage from Barton, the Elba philosopher who preaches  against “soundbite culture!”

It may be garbage (though you don't actually engage with,  or rebut,  any of my comments) but four paragraphs is not what "soundbite" means.   If you clip something from a longer post,  it is YOU who create the soundbite.
LOL!

RE:  Joe's virtual campaigning - and as Trump rallies


"There is serious upside to Joe Biden not being in the news"


-   Stirewalt

Bonus:

"Joe Biden is not going to win the Presidency based on his hipness, currency and virality"


heh - well said
Indeed, why should Biden distract from the spectacle of Donald Trump publicly pissing all over himself? The best strategy at this juncture is letting Trump drive up his own negatives, while not giving Trump the opportunity to drive up Biden's.

If being hip, current and viral is your standard for the office, congratulations to President Chrissy Teigen.

That's exactly his point

Joe would be the "caretaker president".

Biden has come out with a statement on the Georgia case

Doesn't look good for the assailants.



I just hope THIS case gets as much publicity

Why do you hope a murder-suicide gets as much publicity as a murder?
