This whole thing is so breathtakingly stupid. Biden did get that prosecutor fired, but that was the position of the US government (hence Republican support, too) in 2014 because that prosecutor WAS corrupt. Doing so actually put Biden’s son at greater risk though, not less risk.

Exactly, not to mention all the additional egregious stuff he’s done just these past two weeks. We can argue about all the stuff before this story broke, but what can’t be really argued is that his behavior the last two weeks is very clearly in violation of the Constitution and a danger to US Citizens and…

Much like the “no collusion” thing, Trump latches onto these words or phrases and beats them to death to ensure his followers have deniability unless Trump literally says those words. 

So like...I get that Wohl is a moron, but who exactly is this even for? Like 70 year old Elizabeth Warren paid for and received consensual sex from a bodybuilding 25 year old former Marine. Did I miss the kicker here as to the problem with that if it was even true?

It’s no different than what is happening to the country at large. Focus people on small grievances that have an almost material negligible impact on your day to day life, but that you’re passionate about, while crumbling the very bedrock of society under yours or others feet. I mean you have current politicians now…

Wait, so Darren Rovell is arguing against what would be essentially unregulated capitalism? It’s because the benefactors would be young and primarily non-white I imagine, because this seems like the sort of behavior he’d normally bust his nut for.

Totally normal behavior from an innocent man.

Honestly this ought to quash the idea that Donald Trump is playing any form of chess. The general goal of rooting out corruption and further investigating US Election interference is on its own a commendable approach. They could have done this in an official capacity and be lauded for it by pretty much all sides! And…

And let’s remember, and it’s important here, no one leaked anything. This was a legal and formal internal escalation of a whistleblower following the proper procedure that blew up because they stone walled the Intelligence Committee.

I think what I find to be most interesting is, naturally the logical conclusion of never holding the President to task would be his continued escalation of abuse of powers...BUT also that the as to now lack of need to have shown any reasonable competence in defending themselves, they were also likely to escalate to…

Didn’t Jeremy Stephens spend like $60k to train in Mexico City to prep for the altitude? Seems weird to go thru all that effort to duck the fight in which he received no win or performance bonus to make up for that.

And now we’ll hopefully get to see the impact on Republicans as they’re actually forced to support straight up corruption. The arguments against impeachment have continued to ignore the political capital Republicans will need to burn to make a stand with Trump rather than just talk around it.

Joe Biden, he of 2 failed Presidential campaigns and a potentially floundering third...that guy is who I think about when I think about electability.

Actually I think the talent in Pittsburgh, both offensively and defensively, is too high for them to end up with a top 10 pick.

Reading these comments basically validates completely the need for this article...holy shit.

Is your argument then for those competing against Biden now, for the nomination and for whom each believes is better suited to be the nominee, to *not* focus on arguably Biden’s most significant disqualifier (his very cognitive ability)?

A lot of this argument seems to also come from a place of concern around pivoting too far to the left (which is of course, insane). Never Trumpers, Centrists, Neo-liberals, etc. want a return to the idea of collaboration and bipartisanship. But the US has traditionally been a pretty conservative country and as we…

The kicker is the reports Kraft wouldn’t have signed him if he’d known...of course now that they have him, may as well play him right? It’s staggering how dumb they think people are.

You know a significant contributor to suicide? That would be pain and suffering from chronic illness that people can’t afford to get proper care for due to our terrible healthcare system. I’m sure that’ll come as a shock to Ben.

I think the problem with this idea is that, his pivot keeps pivoting. The start of one stream of thought ends in a totally different stream of thought.
