    Now President Biden hints he may not run. That would be nice. He is too old. He is making so many errors in speech that even mainstream media is now covering it. Looks like he’s not their darling any more.

    He said this during the recent 60 Minites tv show interview:

    “Look, my intention as I said to begin with is that I would run again," the president said. "But it's just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen."

    There should be a mandatory retirement age for politicians and judges.

    This morning he was speaking at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health and wanted to recognize someone who was a past co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus. He looked around the room and asked "Jackie are you here? Where's Jackie? I think....she was going to be here". He apparently forgot that Representative Jackie Walorski died in a car crash nearly 2 months ago.

    Agree 100%.

    Yeah that’s another incident, they pile up.

    Yes because I don't think most people who voted for Biden care about that AT ALL. I mean he wasn't many people's first choice in the primaries (nearly my last choice though a few who went absolutely nowhere were worse). But hey lot's of dumb voters in this country and he was the Dem nominee - shrug, what can you do, this country and it's dumb voters. And the states given strategic importance in the Dem primaries mostly don't vote for Dems in the general anyway, so it gives a pretty skewed (but more electable? who knows) take.

    But after he was the nominee, I and I'm sure I am far from alone figured we would rather have whatever was the Dem machine running things than Trump. Even if Biden ran little, Dem machine versus Trump. So it never was really about Biden at all. Now did I anticipate they would do a better job than they have? Well yes, in terms of basic competence (not some super high expectation), I expected the Dem machine to do better, but we definitely didn't have that with Trump either.

    Yeah, but it's only real premise is for a few people to attempt to publicly justify their hatred for anyone without the correct political ideology. It got boring about 900 posts ago.

    I don't hate the "never-Trumper" Republicans and former Republicans I'm aware of (and it seems there are a large number of them), even though we have areas of disagreement ("the correct political ideology"). I'm not particularly inclined to hatred, but I make exceptions for bigots and bullies.

    I don't hate them. I pity them.

    What trauma happened to drive them to their behaviour? At one point, they were happy little kids without a care in the world, and then something changed...

    They were probably miserable little wretches tormenting small animals for fun...

    OK--I acknowledge your position, but I wonder what Tucker Carlson was like as a child--Little Lord Fauntleroy? Lauren Boebert--the Bad Seed? Potential party game.
