the speech had been made solely to serve private, rather than public, interests.

I’m perfectly fine if Biden is ensnared in this shitshow just enough to sink his last chance at the presidency. His self-inflicted wounds were piling up before this scandal started and he wasn’t going to be the nominee anyway, so it’s better to clear him out of the field early.

Baguettes and Gauloises.

A series of mini-strokes can lead to dementia-like behavior. Don’t rule it out.

Well, I can’t wait until Georgia prosecutes a white, Republican woman for having a miscarriage. Because I’m sure that’s going to happen. /s

It would be funny if this was the little thing that finally and conclusively broke his brain. It’s clearly in pretty dire shape already.

The bean industry managed to get an exemption years ago so they could continue to refer to their product as “pork & beans” even though it has almost no pork. (This label doesn’t even bother to include a pork-like blob in…

I’m certainly not a youth, but I’m also not particularly keen on Joe Biden. He doesn’t seem to be able to think on his feet, for starters.

I’m very happy that she’s coming forward to speak in her own voice.

Things aren’t shutting down in any way

The record for the shortest tenure as British PM is 119 days. There’s plenty of time for Boris to break that record. He certainly appears to be trying.

There’s just enough room. I encourage him to try it very soon.
