Sure didn't seem to be showing during last night's speech. I assume republicans will have to find a new fake thing now that "Sleepy Joe" has been shown to be as much of a lie as everything else that comes out of their mouths these days.

Do you think he can maintain that level of amphetamine use till November?
Even if you're on to something, he shouldn't have to be dosed regularly.Quote:

Do you think his handlers can rein in Trump till November, and his lawyers keep him out of jail?
No, I don't think anyone can rein him in and yes, I think he'll stay out of jail till November.Quote:

That there are some cures they can more readily afford, and have their pick of the best docs, I mean sure fine whatever. But there is no dementia cure. Amphetamines can help ADHD (if one has ADHD and chooses to medicate that way), which I've never once heard Biden being diagnosed with (but if he was, oh well), not dementia.Quote:

But it's actually more likely Trump takes amphetamines than Biden (oh I didn't say for dementia). So it's possible projection coming from him.
Really good Remnant podcast today where Jonah Goldberg attacks this weird belief that the survival of America as we know it depends on the next election. It’s called “Take a Deep Breath”.

No. I’m saying that a middling law student with a Harvard degree wasn’t destined to be a Supreme Court justice unless he also happened to also be a black man. Since there are so few people with those characteristics he was a ‘right man/right place’ kinda guy.Quote:

I agree. Or that older people have lost their useful value to society. Not that it's a relevant issue, but it's a little overdone. Or being a senior, I'm just a little sensitive.Quote:

Radical Democrats are still upset that their "high tech lynching" of Clarence Thomas nearly 35 years ago didn't pan out as they wished. Those guys seem to hold long grudges against uppity (conservative) negroes.Quote:

PS: He graduated from Holy Cross, then Yale law school, not Harvard.
I’m curious what republicans think about Thomas’s acceptance of major travel gifts and momma house purchase from people that have issues before the court but I assume I won’t get an honest response.
We hear about that "issues before the court" claim a lot but ProPublica investigated this recently and couldn't find any evidence of it being true. Maybe you could enlighten us?Quote:

I’ll take a listen to this. I like Jonah a lot but I don’t generally like his talking show.Quote:

In this particular case it's Uncle Tom on the supreme court. He absolutely would be a big fat sad nobody if he hadn't been a black man with a fancy pants law degree despite his mediocre grades in law school. If Thurgood Marshall hadn't died at the right (wrong?) time we would be fortunate to have never heard of his sorry ass.Quote:

What did he have to say about that stupid bitch that delivered the rebuttal? Imagine destroying your political career in such spectacular fashion as she did. What a moron.Quote:

Kidding now, but how about Geritol, which most of us will remember, and which I only now realize shares the same root as "geriatric." When I was a child and Geritol was popular, I don't remember knowing it was being pitched to old folks. Whatever was in it?
Some sort of liquid multi-vitamin and iron supplement.Quote:
