Apparently I don’t live at my house anymore. This will drop when I’m in Epping NH working the Area 7 match.
This week has a higher than usual amount of activity, and a surprising amount of that is actually good signs. The three best planets (Sun, Venus, Jupiter) are all aligning on Sunday and Monday, and also during that time we see a full moon, so that is an excellent time to engage in proper/wholesome activities. This should be a window of opportunity when good deeds go unpunished. The day after that brings the full force of felicity to our feline-signed friends what with Mercury and Venus being fully active in that sign. The day after that though… it could still be an auspicious time to begin new endeavors and/or work domestically, but you’ll need to be cautious. The problem is Saturn retrograde. It’s one of those two-faced transition signs meaning both ending and beginning as well as unexpected consequences. It’s definitely a warning to pay attention to wtf you’re doing and not go on autopilot. You can make the Mercury-Moon-Saturn retrograde interaction work for you, but let to its own devices, it’ll probably work against you. Regardless of how you deal with Wednesday, on Thursday we see a tilting of the luck plane towards Virgo. Leo is still doing boffo for the beginning of its month, though perhaps not quite as well.
Leo: 7 of Coins – Stewardship/practice/investment/etc yields (good) results.
Virgo: 3 of Wands reversed – The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.
Libra: 4 of Swords – Vigilance, retreat, solitude, hermit’s repose, exile, tomb, coffin.
Scorpio: The World reversed – Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence..
Sagittarius: 4 of Coins – The surety of possessions, cleaving to that which one has, gift, legacy, inheritance.
Capricorn: Death – Kind of self-explanatory. If you want to feel better, it can be metaphorical death in the sense of transformation.
Aquarius: 5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.
Pisces: The Magician reversed – Physician, Magus, mental disease, disgrace, disquiet.
Aries: Ace of Swords – Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, great force.
Taurus: 2 of Coins reversed – Faking enjoyment, literal sense, handwriting, composition, letters of exchange.
Gemini: Strength reversed – Misuse of power, or a failure of what was supposed to be an easy success.
Cancer: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.
Sorry for no Lily content. It’s been miserably hot/storming/locusts so she’s been wanting to play indoors which gives me no real opportunity to take vids.
Sagittarius: 4 of Coins – The surety of possessions, cleaving to that which one has, gift, legacy, inheritance.
I’m going to be buried with all my possessions, like an Egyptian pharaoh.
So, your tomb will be looted wwithin months?
I want a viking funeral.
I’m sill trying to decide between a large obelisk and a statue of me on a horse.
An obelisk on a horse?
Bernini already did a variation in 1667.

It just dawned on me, OMWC usually does links Sunday morning but didn’t today. He also alluded to a date last night. Sound like things went either really good or really bad.
It’s just a misunderstanding. I’m sure it will get cleared up soon.
That’s what I told the cops too.
Lost handcuff keys.

These have got me out of a few uncomfortable situations…
I know that the average Glib is not unintelligent but the fact that you did not write “eluded” made me smile and warmed my heart.
OMWC failed to evade the calendar event.
No, that was just an illusion LOL
I also hate seeing “diluted” when the person clearly means “deluded” (and I see that one almost as often as the “eluded” error)
Gdragon, you’re a regular pendant, ya know?
Of course, “phase” for “faze” is an almost universal error. Why, I’ve even seen it here!
Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.
I’m not even going to Vegas.
Oh dear, that means you’ll be visited by an agent of the government.
Shouldn’t be a problem.

From dedthred:
@GT, the Splenda is sufficient to retain the pucker of a really tart lemonade.
@Don, no, like other arts, romance is packed with proggies. The transgression is simply being “a feminist” and writing/reading romance, which is a tool of the patriarchy. All sorts of social justice gets woven into romance as penance.
All sorts of social justice gets woven into romance
I’m sure you’re right
I am not aroused
Arts are that way. The thinking is driven primarily by emotional intuition. That carries over into what should be rational pursuits.
Have you made it with Splenda? I’m thinking a cup of Splenda would make the lemonade WAY too sweet.
Yes, that’s the only way I make it because otherwise I can’t drink my calories without blowing up like Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China.
It is not too sweet.
🙂👍🍋
I mean, you can always adjust to your taste. You’re not out anything but a cup of lemon juice and a cup of Splenda.
Have you tried stevia at all? My folks and I have switched over to that (largely organic) zero calorie sweetener compared to using splenda, sweet&low, etc before. Seems to work pretty well even if I need to use a little more comparatively in some mixes – a bit more inherent flavor too, but doesn’t bug me.
I’ve heard Stevia has a bitter aftertaste, and I’m very sensitive to bitterness, so I haven’t tried it.
Never noticed any bitterness or any aftertaste in general. I’d suggest picking up a box of 40 packets for coffee, etc – rather than the larger canister.
You can also look for the “zevia” stevia sugarfree soda at walmart, etc.

I had reason to look up the inflation calculator of a laptop my husband bought in 2014 that’s still going strong and slowly being rendered obsolete by various vendors of products we use (specifically, Dropbox). He’s on Win7. Yes, yes, he is. (I’m pretty bitter about Western Digital deprecating my sufficient hardware.)
ANYWAY, it came out to almost double the price. 10 years, 100% increase. Shit’s crazy, man.
Yup. But inflation isn’t real.
Not at all.
DOOOOOOM
A Sheepish Lion and of course When Lions Team Up.
Twitter reporting Biden quit, but I can’t back it up with MSM sources. https://x.com/ap4liberty/status/1815082498571026567?s=61&t=h5BOKTRU9mc6OIfm7REElw
Depends on what counts as Mainstream.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/21/biden-ends-reelection-campaign/
It’s a really short stub of an article.
I found some reports that are more verbose. But the bottom line is the same – not resigning, but no longer running
President Biden said he was ending his presidential run, after failing to quell a Democratic rebellion against his candidacy following a catastrophic debate performance, according to a letter he posted on social media
https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/biden-drops-out-presidential-race-6b1c74fd?st=ecjvrugnclb3iaj&reflink=share_mobilewebshare
The wall street journal doesn’t load for me.
Which is BS.
If he’s incapable of running, he’s incapable of his present position.
https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815080881981190320
himself
You mean his intern.
The official Biden tweeter released it, but the official POTUS account hasn’t mentioned it. Odd way to announce such a thing.
I haven’t even ventured to guess this because things have been so unpredictable. It will be interesting to see how many people are getting this right. Scott Adams was wrong this time.
It her turn, guys.
NBC News reporting Biden will step aside for re-election and just serve out term.
Dammit I was just back in the “Biden stays in” side of the bet.
I can’t say either outcome would have surprised me.
Bets on who the Dems decide on? Kamalalamadingdong? Gruesome? The Hildawg?
Buy popcorn futures…
Gonna be Romney.
Sorkin’s letter changed everything.
It’s going to be an all-out war between Hillary and Kamala. Someone call Dana White and see if we can reserve an octagon.
Me too.
Unsurprisingly, endorsing Vice President Twofer for the big chair.
Hmmm she was super unpopular so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Too feeble to run, too feeble to serve. I expect them to pass the
torchorb and scepter to Kamala, to give her the massive head start of incumbency.They’ll keep him for a couple reasons.
They don’t want her.
Resign now, Joe.
Yeah, I’m out $100 if he finishes his term. 😕
NYT says Joe is OUT
He escaped the secret service cordon and wandered off?
Jill Biden hardest hit.
On the same note as progs in arts, I saw a really fabulous artist on Twitter and I wanted to drop her a couple of bucks because I feel like if a busker makes you stop and watch, he’s earned some money.
Anyway, I went to her website and saw “Donate to Palestine,” and noped right out. All she gets from me is a retweet.
The next poll should be interesting. “Trump vs. anybody but Trump?” I’ve got plenty of popcorn.
‘patzie!!! 😃

wellincoherent.The avatar and username change are excellent.
Hey, DEG! Right before I retired in March, I got the “superstar” award (not making this up) from my employer, prompting the name/avatar change. Now that I am a layabout supported by Mrs. Patzer and the taxpayers, I probably need to come up with something else.
Patzer, you are living the good life.
Nah, keep the name change in honor of the good life.
Too bad Trump won’t withdraw as well.
He does have a few kids…
LMAO – now that would be funny. Trump announcing if Joe won’t run, neither will I!
The unnamed candidate always wins.
Has fewer flaws than any other candidate.
Exactly, people are actually optimistic when they visulize the unnamed candidate: they fill in the blank with their ideal choice. As soon as you name someone the wheels start to come off.
Gemini: Strength reversed – Misuse of power, or a failure of what was supposed to be an easy success.
Trump is a Gemini. Just sayin’.
Will Biden preemptively pardon his family, now?
Why? Republicans will never do anything even if they win.
Democrats might, though
After the recent lawfare I’m not sure that’s still the case. The old rulebook has been burned and the ashes flushed down the toilet.
My favorite version of the lion sleeps tonight is by Leno M
https://youtu.be/xKxIHyWrx6s?si=LM7lNzdlXuV3L7fS
Nope. There is no good version of that song. It was my high school’s fight song. Seriously…
The high school football team (up until my senior year) won 1 game a season (against a team that had the state record for most losses in a row IIRC), so the fact they didn’t quite understand the point of a fight song kind of fit.
I once again offer to be emperor of America. I promise to lower taxes and conquer Canada.
No, you ahve too many silly Euro-ideas.

We can fix the guns thing with one weekend range trip.
I’m on board with lower taxes, that’s great. On the other hand, conquering Canada will involve a lot of bloodshed. That’s… also great?
I’ll vote for you if we get to remake Canada in our own image.
Stewardship/practice/investment/etc yields (good) results.
Not sufficiently shitty.
RC Dean, to answer your question about mail in voting/absentee ballots in NH: Generally speaking, no mail-in voting. Absentee ballots to get mailed out and mailed back, but that is it for the mail and ballots in NH.
Absentee balloting in NH was wide open during the Rona Panic. Basically, if you wanted an absentee ballot you got it no questions asked. That’s not true anymore. It’s not as tightly controlled as I’d like it to be, but it is not wide open anymore.
It looks to me if there is a substitute candidate due to death/withdrawal, and you’ve already submitted your absentee ballot, you are shit out of luck.
All those pre-printed Biden ballots, gone, like tears in the rain…
That’s OK. Kamala will just go down to Kinko’s and order a reprint.
Heh.
On a serious note, it’s too early for general election ballots or either the normal kind or pre-printed kind. The state primary is in September.
Ballots will come with a blank stick on, cover Biden, vote your write in choice.

Throwing her under the
busTrump Train.My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
Hilldawg must be fuming.
I’m picturing broken wine glasses.
Why? Does she automatically head (heheh) the ticket?
Doesn’t Killdawg have just as good of a shot as Seeds Whitmer or Big Mike?
The only person who can use Biden’s campaign war chest is Kamala.
No, the DNC can get it. I’m not sure what paperwork needs to be filed, but I’ve read from multiple reliable sources that it can go to the DNC, which can then use it for whoever the nominee is.
Can you post a link? My understanding is donations to the campaign belong to the campaign. Since Biden and Harris are the campaign, it can only be used by one of them. I think this is related to FECA’s cap on campaign contributions to a candidate. Wouldn’t bet my license on it, but that’s the way I understand it.
They will get the money, come hell or high water.
I mean, who is gonna stop them, and how would they do it? A lawsuit? Standing, bitches!
If he’s not fit to run is he fit to hold office? They’re going to force him to resign.
Yes. The whole “he should drop out of the race” narrative after the debate was a limited hangout.
If they do that, then they are admitting that he hasn’t been functional for a while. And that would get a lot of people riled up against the D’s.
They are trying to have it both ways, or they would have enacted the 25th as soon as the debate ended.
More importantly, it means Kamala will be president, and if you think that she has a bad chance now, just wait until she’s in charge for a couple months.
I didn’t read the press release from shit for brains.
Did he formally release his delegates? If he didn’t, they are still obligated to vote for him on the first ballot.
No.
You and your silly preoccupation with party rules. The party will rule, not be bound by them.
He announced his intention to withdraw from the race. He hasn’t formally done it. I’m sure Reid Hoffman’s lawyers will ensure he releases the delegates when he formally withdraws.
He may wake up tomorrow and not even remember dropping out.

A big “fuck you” to the party on the way out the door.
I hope they return the favor and drop the hammer on his money laundering.
Antiracists, assemble
The Democratic party will be taking a historic gamble if it now turns to Vice President Kamala Harris to become its presidential candidate, betting that a Black woman can overcome racism, sexism and her own missteps as a politician to defeat Republican Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden, 81, announced on Sunday he was ending his campaign for reelection, while staying on as president for the remainder of his term. In a separate post on X, formerly Twitter, he endorsed Harris.
It’s an appeal to the anti-merit voter. Let’s see how it goes.
And thus the tone of the new race is announced (if she actually gets the nod of course).
“Vote for the black woman or you’re a racist and/or a misogynist.”
You’re certainly not voting for competence.
I think Stacey Abrams is still looking for a job.
They might as well go full DEI.
My money is on a double bonus hole ticket.
What’s Lori Lightfoot doing these days?
She returned to the sea to be with her people.
My bet is on Whitmer for VP.
Of course, I thought Joe would gut it out, too. I can’t imagine the threats that were made to get him to drop out.
Lori Lightfoot is the special counsel in charge of investigating Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s corruption in Doulton, IL. They do not like each other, despite being sistahs. It’s delicious
Already what her campaign for the Dem nomination claimed – and that was only talking about Democratic primary voters.
a Black woman
Barely.
can overcome racism, sexism and her own missteps
She’s got a lot of praying to do…
Her own missteps as a politician…
Pull the other one, it smells like fish.
OFFFS.
So, what are the betting sites saying today?
“Vote for the black woman or you’re a racist and/or a misogynist.”
And that’s how you unite the nation.
These are the Dems we’re talking about here amigo. Divisiveness and subdivision are a plus in their book.
Call people that enough times – first it will lose all it’s sting. Eventually they’ll embrace it and wear it as a badge of honor.
It’s already lost its sting but it’s all they’ve got and they’ll play that hand like never before if it’s Harris.
“Well, if I’m a misogynist anyway, I might as well just share my opinion of Abortion Barbie, a governor who has to punch above her weight to be mediocre.”
So are Joe’s delegates now committed to Harris? Or are they free to vote for anyone they want in an open convention?
Hoping for the later so the DNC is absolute chaos.
Isn’t it the latter? Delegates are pledged to Biden as a candidate and they don’t automatically fall to her even if that’s what he wants.
Harris was not on the ballot. Biden was on the ballot. The delegates are committed to vote for Biden on the first ballot unless he releases them.
I don’t know if he can transfer title to his delegates to Harris. Given her family’s history of slave-owning, that would probably be a bad look, though.
Voters across America: “Wait. I guess what really I meant was ALMOST anybody but Trump.”
WP
And exactly how would that have stopped the shooting?
It laid in wait for 11 years, and suddenly pounced!
The father had already called the police to report his son was missing and had his rifle.
It… um… hey, look over there!
That’s some pretty fast work to identify the gun shop where the firearm was shipped and pull the record book*.
*obviously they didn’t. They used either the background check information, in violation of the law, or digitized gun shop records in violation of the spirit of the law.
From a closed gun shop…on paper records. Seems…unlikely.
Useful information provided: exactly fuck-all.
They had to make sure it wasn’t sold by the ATF to the Mexican cartels and found its way back to the U.S.
That would make me furious, and fast.
It’s a jerk move by Biden.
He should have resigned a year ago, and given Harris some time to claim on-the-job experience.
He did not choose this willingly. His anger over the past week or so at being asked if he’d step down was genuine.
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when they finally got him to let go.
And who wrote the letter?
I think he died, already, and this is the best plan they can come up with on the fly
That would be quite fascinating, cav. I don’t mean that in a derogatory manner. I highly doubt it, but it would be *fun.
*add further chaos to Team Blue. I don’t like Red either, but I wish it’d get people to open up and see ALL the bs. My generation and their progeny, perhaps hardest hit.
I don’t really think he died.
I just saw someone post that we needed proof of life for Biden, and I thought it humorous.
Someone in the DHS/FBI/CIA had an ‘enough is enough’ chat with Dr. Jill PhD., with some photographic negatives for visual aids?
I was kind of expecting it to come in at the time to give Harris the longest time before the election, and to allow her to run for two full terms after that.
He shouldn’t have run four years ago. He was mentally incompetent then. And everyone covered for him. It’s time to pay, bitches.
Hoping for the later so the DNC is absolute chaos.
Exactly. I want to see blood in the aisles at the convention.
Unfortunately for Kamala, POTUS isn’t a position you can sleep your way into. Unless she’s gonna sleep with around 4000 delegates. She’d better get started.
Poor delegate #3,999

Kamala wouldn’t dare go to sleep. Ever.
President Kamala: “Miss Hillary, Oh what shall we do about this awful thing, you know, in the Middle East?”
VP Hillary: “Damn it, I told you to never wake me up before noon and I have time to make myself pretty”
“This is Velco, the preferred weapon of our enemy. It makes a distinctive sound when removed.”
Testing The Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump
good info
Lol.
“That’s assuming the average competent shooter has one thing the would-be assassin did not; more muscle mass than a 7th grade cheerleader.”
Damn, Trump’s PAC already released an antiHarris ad:
https://x.com/AlexThomp/status/1815102088646668639
On point.
If they didn’t have oppo ready to go out of the gate, they weren’t playing the right game.
Which for once, we knew they were with the “We won’t set a debate time for VP cause we don’t know who Kamala’s VP will be” a couple days ago.
After four years of the “Biden-Harris administration” and treating her as bestest most powerful vice-president ever, now the shills are claiming Biden really had nothing to do with her and she wasn’t involved at all.
I predicted Biden would bow out this weekend. I’m not sure he makes it to November. Kamala is going to pick Whitmer has her running mate. Girls against boys and she’s the only one other than Gavin that has any name recognition. And Gavin can’t run with her.
Will whitmer be willing?
If she isn’t, Kamala can rouse up an FBI team to ‘make her’
Hahaha. Roll her up on a carpet, throw her in the back of a van, and drive her to DC.
Would make sense as Team Blue needs MI.
The psychopath and the authoritarian ticket.
I popped over to Reddit to relish in some wailing & teeth gnashing. Not disappointed.

Why will your head honcho need to step down?
He’s being demoted to butt honcho
Maybe our head honcho will be Kammie’s VP pick 🤷♀️
I thought it might be my head honcho. The most qualified gay man in America.
Very possible
I almost feel bad for Kamala. She is so far out of her depth it’s frightening. The 2020 Democratic debates were awful for her. Her campaign is going to be a dumpster fire.
That’s what happens when you have to rise to power on your knees swallowing jizz from mediocre males.
Moj from the top rope!
Yeah, we’re done here.
Willie Brown was no slouch.
Is there another Presidential debate already scheduled? Trump v Harris, I can’t even come with a mental image of how that will go.
If he tells her to take her best shot, I’ll be satisfied.
“I heard she’s sucked a lot of dicks folks and she’s really good at it…big, beautiful blowjobs…the best…”
If Trump whips it out and said “you guys are always claiming I screw whores…”
DED
Bravo, Stinky.
Bravo.
Err, come up with a mental image.
I don’t feel sorry for her.
“The left are not okay.”
“gEE wHYcOmE pOlitICaL vIOLeNce!!!???”, the press wondered aloud.
Again..you cannot reason with that. Cannot discuss, talk, see their side, etc. It is absolutely insane. Not that the right doesn’t have the same level of crazy.
I actually don’t think the “right” does have the same level of crazy. Show me righties talking about gobbling mind-altering drugs and paranoid about getting sent to the camps because they, I dunno, have their original equipment, a job, and a spouse, and we can talk.
There were plenty of crazies that thought we’d be put in camps for not taking the shot, Obama would reeducate us, etc.
Fair point, enemy.
It happened in Australia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though..I believe we were closer to camps with the shot than with Trump and trans folks…which on the surface, he appears to not care unless you are grooming.
Of course. The latter is narcissistic brainwash material.
Difference between progs and conservatives. The conservatives would be buying ammo.
Fair enough, but let’s not gloss it over too much – twenty years ago (!) there were a shitload of rural conservatives who knew somebody’s cousin’s brother who was hired to weld shackles to the inside of railroad boxcars. I hung out with these people. They weren’t crazy. They were just wrong about where the threat was coming from.
ES: agree. And before that it was the 60s radicals who thought they’d be put in camps.
Jesse Walker has a great section in internment camps in The United States of Paranoia.
xhe has completely lost the ability to even
So I believe that’s a fairly normal day for that person. The lie is this is extraordinary.
I like hanging the administration’s record around her neck. What’s she gonna say? “No, I was just decorative. You know, a useless functionary who had nothing to do with anything.”?
Agreed. Every fucking announcement of executive action they put out was headlined “Biden – Harris Administration”.
Make her own it.
Border Czarina!
The conspiracies about the drop out are already in full swing! It’s from his personal account, no POTUS; it’s on plain letterhead; WH knows nothing about it. So. Good.
Go long on popcorn.
If we’re in the best possible timeline, Biden will try to walk this back tomorrow.
Did this happen after 4 DC time?
Well if he does, this will be awkward
Interesting that Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala.
Has Hilary either?
🍿 🍿
Yes.
Obama says he has “extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”
Peak Obama. 🙄
“Hey, why you looking at me for leadership? Its not like I was the President or something.”
She is a horrible candidate, and he knows it.

Getting banged for politics? You must be a Kamalama supporter!
Dang it forgot the 2 link max. Anyway, the major MSM outlets are trying to actually toss Kamala’s salad at this point.
I’m half expecting them to double down on her DEI cred by saying she’s bisexual, too – she didn’t just go down on the male power brokers, but the females, too.

Dear DNC-
You painted yourselves into this hole, now lie in it.

Sports Night sucked donkey balls, too.
Wait… it doesn’t run on Fresca and quips?
Oh Ted’s….
I’m sorry if your taste was poor enough to like Sports Night.
Benson and Sabrina Lloyd more than make up for the failings of the actual show.
He has the best chance of winning-it’s actually not such a bad idea for them. Other than abortion he’s really one of them anyway and he’s somewhat polished and absolutely spineless.
And controllable by the deep state.
Romney/Cheney ’24
He is a racist and misogynist.
/dems in 2012
He scripted this moment. Josh and Toby wrung their hands behind closed doors, CJ bent the press over and shoved a few witty one liners, Charlie played chess with the President, and they successfully turned their cover up of the President’s health issues into a referendum on Republicans for daring to call it out. Cue the dramatic music.
Oh man. My brother cannot understand how I am so gleeful. “This isn’t good for Democracy(tm).” No, but it is great for a republic! Hell, throw the Republican party in disarray because this will be the last chance for folks to open their eyes to the two-party bullshit.
“You just don’t get it OBE!”
I feel for him. He was a BernieBro

Democrats plan to hold a virtual roll call to formally select their nominee as soon as Aug. 1 and before Aug. 7, ahead of the party’s Aug. 19 convention. The party initially planned the early roll call to ensure Biden would be on the ballot in Ohio, which previously required nominees to be confirmed 90 days before the election. Ohio has since revised its law, but it doesn’t take effect until Sept. 1, so Democrats have said they will move forward with the early nomination anyway.
The approximately 4,700 Democratic delegates will choose a new candidate by majority vote. About 4,000 delegates are “pledged” to Biden, but by stepping down, he effectively releases them from their obligation to vote for him. The 700 “unpledged” delegates—also known as superdelegates and can vote for whoever they please—are allowed to vote in a second round if a candidate does not secure the majority votes needed to win in the first round.
It’s not clear to me that it’s that simple. I think he has to public release them.
“effectively”? What does the rules of the DNC state?
From Ballotpedia, which I would trust. How does that sit with moderate voters though? The die-hards, sure…
https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_delegate_rules,_2024
The Democratic and Republican parties do not formally nominate candidates until delegates vote at the party’s national convention. The Democratic National Convention will take place from August 19-22, 2024, and the Republican National Convention took place from July 15-18, 2024.
A party’s presumptive nominee, meaning the candidate who receives an estimated majority of delegates after state nominating events, could be replaced at the convention. Delegates could elect a candidate who they were not initially bound to at the time of their state’s election. Both state law and party rules govern how a delegate must vote at the national convention, including whether a delegate remains bound to a withdrawn candidate and for how many rounds a delegate remains bound to a candidate.[19]
Both parties also have delegates who are not bound to a particular candidate at the convention. The Republican Party has a total of 104 unbound delegates, and the Democratic Party has a total of 739 unbound delegates. Democratic unbound delegates can only vote if a convention proceeds past the first round of voting.
Clear as mud.
The recently inserted OMB Clause allows them to do “whatever the fuck it takes” to beat a certain candidate.
https://ballotpedia.org/What_happens_if_Joe_Biden_drops_out_or_is_replaced_as_the_2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_nominee
Democrats will have an open convention. Delegates will participate in rounds of voting until a new candidate receives a majority of convention delegate votes.[8] The Democratic Party’s 2024 Delegate Selection Rules do not provide specific guidance for how delegates should vote if their candidate withdraws. The rules say the following about how a delegate should vote:
“ No delegate at any level of the delegate selection process shall be mandated by law or Party rule to vote contrary to that person’s presidential choice as expressed at the time the delegate is elected.[9] ”
—Rule 13.I (p. 15)[10]
“ Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.[9] ”
—Rule 13.J (p. 15)[10]
Fourteen states have laws binding presidential convention delegates to vote according to how they were allocated after the state’s primary, but 12 of those states allow delegates to be released when a candidate withdraws or after a specific number of rounds of voting at the national convention.

Tulsi stomps on Kamala, once again.
Where is she that’s it’s dark out already?
Rome I think she says at the start
I missed the beginning due to fucking with my phone.
If you’re going to use portrait mode like an idiot, leave it boxed. I hate that triple image BS.
Amen!
Would.
Time for some family bar time…I am sure it will be all abuzz since my Gov is in the talking head circles as a possible VP candidate.
An open primary is the deep state’s worst nightmare. It creates the possibility of them not controlling any of the top 3 candidates for POTUS.
If the IC doesn’t have plans in place for this eventuality, they’re even less competent than I feared.
Yes?
Oh, that we are were we are already says that this is a complete shit show.
As if there weren’t enough reasons to want Joe Biden to die of a massive ass hemorrhage. NBC just cut away from the end of the race.
They know race fan demographics and this was just their way of sticking it to them.
I think the race fans were saying, “Let’s go, Brandon”.
Meant to post this yesterday afternoon – anyone seen coozies for tall cans? Nearly all cans I buy now are oversized, but all my coozies are 12oz size – other than one bottle coozie I have.
Civilized people use glasses.
Yeah….depends if I feel like doing more dishes or just drinking something light – lager/ale/etc vs porter/stout (definitely glass).
Civilized people drink wine, not beer.
Those don’t fit well in the cup holders in my car.
Civilized and cultured people drink both. But not at the same time.
I have several. For 16 ounce cans, 19.2 ounce cans, 32 ounce crowlers, and a handful of slim 12 ounce can ones. Strangest coozy I’ve got is for a specific pint glass.
I bet that Hunter Biden has a hell of a story about the strangest coozy he’s got…
“oversized, but all my coozies are 12oz size – other than one bottle coozie I have”
Damn sailor, you’re a busy boy. How are you sticking it in so much cooze?
At their convention next month, the Democrats should nominate Mitt Romney.
Not Mitt. Liz Cheney.
Why not both?
OMG, that would be awesome. And within the realm of possibility.
Too bad we can’t put Adam Kinzinger on there as well.
That’s more likely than Romney. That crying cunte Kinzinger is Liz Cheney’s bitch.
Another thought re: one of the star wars posts this morning.
We’ve discussed and seen discussions before on how so few writers in tv/movies/etc these days have any actual life experiences to draw from – vice the original Marvel/DC guys serving in WWII or Korea, etc, etc, etc.
I think it was on one of Critical Drinker’s excerpt group video clips I saw a couple days ago where a participant mentioned that the difference with the post-Lucas Star Wars is that….the writers are big star wars fans. Specifically in the context where – originally Lucas was inspired by WWII fighter flicks, samurai films, westerns, Joseph Campbell, etc – but the new writers are just fans of star wars – they don’t have any other life experiences or outside inspirations to bring to the table. That does seem extremely relevant in this context as well as in a lot of other popular media.
I like this point. I may steal it. I will give you credit if I do.
Yep, I’ve already done it myself (with full credit given)
they don’t have any other life experiences or outside inspirations
I guess that’s how they got that Crouching Space Witch Hidden Laser Sword scene.
Meant to post this yesterday afternoon – anyone seen coozies for tall cans? Nearly all cans I buy now are oversized, but all my coozies are 12oz size – other than one bottle coozie I have.
Drink faster.
Biden endorsed Commie-la. Tomorrow CNN will be reporting that Bill Clinton accidentally walked into a door.
A wine bottle shaped door.
Today has been just delightful.
It has. I hung out with my daughter. We played card games and then I took her to see Inside Out 2, which was surprisingly good.

I’m emailing my critters and Joe that he needs to resign, 25A, or be impeached.
Can you give him some good ideas? Tell him Barack really wants him to cut 2/3s of the administrative state by executive order on his way out. He’s just senile enough to do it.
GL, you’re really trying to get me on another list, aren’t you?
The left aren’t the only delusionals.
Boy that is delusional. Go home MAGA supporter, you’re drunk.
I agree that she seems too aware to choose a political “side” and fuck with her brand but if she does it ain’t gonna be the MAGA side.
She’s Team Blue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_impact_of_Taylor_Swift
Obvious engagement farming is obvious.
I predicted she would get the Dem VP nod six months before she did, and I predicted she would take this one over the day after the debate. I have been calling an all female ticket, most likely Whitmer, but maybe they will go elsewhere. She is a far stronger candidate than Biden, despite what the polls say. The media is just now getting started on the greatest tongue bath propaganda effort in history, it will make their treatment of Joe in 2020 look downright impartial in comparison. I still think Trump can pull off the win, and this will be a better win than beating Biden if he does. If it happens it at least may cause some bit of a retreat from the DEI obsession with the Dems and maybe even a curb kicking of the most hardcore progressive.
Selecting Biden was supposed to be kicking the hardcore progs to the curb – and look where they wound up. Dug in the staff corps like ticks.
I knew Biden was going to be a third Obama term and window dressing for the progs. But losing has a way of shaking up a party, especially losing to T Dog. If she somehow wins this country will be in the fast lane to becoming California.
I dunno. Kamala is a crashingly awful campaigner/candidate, and the DemOp Media’s reach has been reduced significantly in recent years. Yes, I think they will try their bestest. But I don’t think they still have the horsepower to drag an anchor like Kamala over the line.
Now, election fraud? That’s a different question.
fraud is the only way Harris wins.
We are about to see a propaganda campaign that would make the Joseph Goebbels blush.
theI was about to say “the Nazis.”
*sigh*
There’s nothing they can say that makes Kamala look better. Nothing. We will see them double-down on TDS, and then double-down again.
JI is absolutely right.
My guess is Jay Inslee. He isn’t running for governor again, has previous experience running a presidential campaign, and he wants it. He has name recognition similar to Governor Greaseball, but without any sort of bad press. I could see him being presented as smart and sane.
Mr Gun Control can piss up a rope.
Fear Inslee. He’s a far left nut job but can come across very sane and moderate in commercials and debates.
All three of the left coast governors are like that.
Last time a sitting president announced he wasn’t running:
https://youtu.be/CJeLoMCF6Jo
At least LBJ could show his face. Joe isn’t competent enough to quit on his own.
Newsom endorsed Kamala.
The only way out if this for the Dems is to nominate an actual black woman.
We all know what that means.
Stacey Abrams?
She said woman, not Hutt.
That also rules out Big Mike.
RuPaul ?
Oprah?
Sheila Jackson-Lee can still vote Democratic, but she can’t run.
I got it. It has to be Hank Johnson. He ain’t a
birthing personwoman but they need someone to make Kama-la look smartish. The law of political relativity.Tyler Perry?
this is the most important news of the day
because it means he isn’t in the race and Hillary’s endorsement wasn’t a one-off
*grabs popcorn*
Senator Joe Manchin says he may register again as a Democrat (he’s currently an independent) to run against Kamala Harris.
That might have worked better if he didn’t get epically played by Schumer and company on the “Inflation Reduction Act” (how’s that expedited permitting for non-green energy going there, Joe?). Now the Republican voters think he’s a caving ass and the Dems already thought he wasn’t Commie enough. So I don’t see where he thinks he’d draw support.
Trump campaign already putting out Kamala stuff. They knew.
I wonder if someone in the WH staff is feeding them info (probably)
They’ve been doing it since last week. See the Vp debate statement.
I dunno if they knew, but any competent operation would have this teed up.
Everybody knew.
Working on neurology today. It is AMAYYYYYZING to me how much the cardiologists and vascular surgeons push statins and how much the neurologists push back on it. *smh*
Why do the neurologists push back?
Statins can mess with your head, cognition, decision-making ability, lucidity, stuff like that. They also mess with nerve endings (like, they can cause or exacerbate peripheral neuropathy).
Thanks! There’s my justification for refusing a statin ‘scrip for my borderline high cholesterol! 😁👍 (Hasn’t happened yet, but now I’m ready!)
Yeah, they’re a high-risk medication for a relatively low-risk (and natural) condition (although they do sometimes rx it for high blood pressure) and I have had them put it in my chart I will not take statins under any circumstances.
Watch the documentary “Fathead”.
Cholesterol is essential to survive
My doctors have been trying to push them on me for almost 15 years now (although my current doctor has at least not pressured me after my refusal). They’ve all told me “You don’t need this but since you are Type 1 diabetic someday you definitely might sort of need it so why not get started now?!”. Fuck that I say. Glad to hear another voice seemingly endorsing my decision.
Take fish oil and garlic.
Also, cinnamon for blood sugar
The funniest detail is that I actually have low cholesterol!
Low blood pressure as well.
This guy is a little young to be such a low testosterone simp for Kuntemala.
BOOM! This Kamala Harris ad from 2020 SLAMMING Trump is going viral right now! It still applies and she is the right person for the job. HARRIS 2024!
She didn’t get a single delegate in 2020. Even Democrats hate her.
She dropped out before the first primary.
And as many delegates as Joe got in 88 and 08, yet he’s president today.
I guess they will have to pretend everyone is
Ridin’ with BidenKackling with Kamala.Trump campaign needs to avoid overconfidence. Harris will be spun by the media into a combination of Harriet Tubman, Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, and the Virgin Mary by September. And the low info voter who doesn’t know anything about her, yet will decide the winner, will lap her up.
I dunno, creech. She is a singularly terrible candidate, and more and more people aren’t lapping up what the DemOp Media serves up.
“Harris will be spun by the media into a combination of Harriet Tubman, Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, and the Virgin Mary by September. ”
She’s definitely blown more people than all of them combined, they could always frame it up that way.
I’ve been on X a fair bit this afternoon. Many prominent dem politicians have rushed to endorse Harris, but Obama has made it fairly clear that he thinks the Dem party will find a way to do a new pick at the convention.
Makes me wonder if there is a bit of a civil war brewing, and if some Dema are sick of Obama continuing to run the show behind the scenes.
In other words, the real coup is happening right now, in private.
Power vacuum, or perceived power vacuum, and one time opportunity.
There is every reason to think there is a Clinton versus Obama fight going on right now
Cav, I believe you are right. And they likely have large “teams” of people we’ve never heard of taking sides.
I haven’t heard anything from Valerie Jarrett in a long time, I had forgotten her altogether until her name popped up in conversation a couple of weeks ago (the brother of a girl that I went to high school with is actually married to her daughter).
Kamala and Pete Bootygeig. That’s who it will be. I have laid my bet.
Now, what can we afford to bet, and where do we keep the betting pool?
VP Leave of Absence
VP “It’s A Boy!”
The Kneepad Ticket
Kackle n’ Twink?
SF’s stories will write themselves.
400, baby!

Democratic Party Leaders Vow To Save Democracy By Overruling Voters, Staging Coup
When I was in the kitchen making dinner I overheard some male Dem politician on TV say “Well, this is democracy with a small ‘d’ “. I guess he didn’t get the memo about phrasing LOL.
Aides Struggling To Figure Out How To Break The News To Biden That He Dropped Out
Ha!
I don’t know if this is accurate but I read that Dr Jill is in Paris for the Olympics (she’s part of the ceremonial “delegation” for the US).
If so, the timing of Joe getting pushed out is NOT a coincidence.
Hunter probably read those stories about all of the sex going on in the Olympic Village and tagged along.
was at a bar tonight and as patrion proudly claimed to be a huge Biden supporter even though the state currently because if his decisions
“was at a bar tonight” – This part definitely checks out LOL 😉
lol
Trump put on Truth Social that Biden never had Covid
Over 400 comments on a Sunday night.
What is wrong with you people? Don’t you have lives?
Actually, it reminds me of the old days on TOS, when someone (Robbie Soave?) would throw up multiple articles on some topic, and I would accuse him of trying to bump the comments to 500+
Still pales in comparison to the days of woe that was the plague of the WI and his/her relentless gamboling.
Oh lord I had completely forgotten about WI and his gamboling problem. But somehow I still remembered the days of chad and Tony on the other site.
Tony! I remember a Tony, now that you mention him.
The only one I remember was Palin’s Buttplug.
How many years ago was that?
There was a John, as well, but I can’t remember if he has a second name, or not. I got into an argument with him about Lincoln.
John went by one name. He came over here but got hammer-banned by sp.
There was also “Pete”, who went by a different name. The Catholic fellow, who liked T.H. White’s The Once and Future King.
He quit after an argument.
Is there anyone who didn’t come here from Reason?
It’ll hit 500 with the early morning crowd.
Don’t give up on us GL. Late nighters got it going on.
I made chicken fajitas…sort of…tonight. They taste great. I always overcook the veggies.
We made Chipotle-style rice, pinto beans, and Rotel corn as sides.
A Kamala impersonator.
I don’t know how close she gets, because I’ve never watched Kamala make a speech.

You are missing out.
This one is classic. And I believe she was drunker than OBE when she gave it.

Geez, I’ve seen bar rats slurring less than that. All she needed to add was a “you’re my best friend!”
Hunter dropped his lawsuit against Fox News. LOL
My mother is just beside herself (she now doesn’t think Trump can win), and I told her to laugh. I’m finding this entire thing hilarious in spite of myself and I’m over here cackling like a green-skinned warty-nosed witch.
Remind me I said this on November 6.
But mojo, November 6 is so many tomorrows away from today!!
Only Kamala can interpret the comings and goings of time for us…
Hillary jumped right in to endorse Kamala.
Just a couple of weeks ago her lackey Huma married Soros’s kid.
Joe drops out.
Coincidence?
Joe is still alive, so I think so.
Kinnath’s relatives appear to be looking for him in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Ann Arbor.

Biden makes a statement.
I don’t think this is real, though.
https://x.com/RubinReport/status/1815144007040684406
Totes legit.
Would have given me a smidge of respect if it were real.
Also, drugs, ass, you know the drill.
And the thing.
It’s so funny to me that even when you alter the words and content of a Biden message the funniest part is still “End of quote. Repeat the line. “!
Frightening videos from doorbell cameras:

No way am I watching that before going to bed.
I think the Obama non endorsement of Kamalamadingdong is not necessarily due to intra-party fighting, but could just be part of the plan. The Dems currently have to make it seem like it’s not just a coronation of the Kackling One, as they pull exactly that. He will fall in line for the convention, but they need a bit of ambiguity now while they line up the delegates to do what they are supposed to do.
I think it’s definitely sign of infighting. They are going to anoint the candidate no matter what. No small folk will have cast a single vote for the Democratic Party’s nominee. And I don’t think the average mouth breathing Dem cares one iota about that.
What makes most sense for the Democratic Party right now is to present a unified front and for everyone to quickly fall-in line behind the chosen candidate. Obama’s failure to do that says a lot.
Trump donated $5 grand to Kamala Harris in 2011:
https://www.therpgsite.com/the-rpgpundit-s-own-forum/trump-survives-assassination-attempt-at-pa-rally/180/
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-donated-to-kamala-harris-twice-as-private-citizen-2020-8
Trump was a Democrat, so it’s not a surprise he gave money to Democrat candidates.
Also, as a businessman, he might’ve had the motive to butter up law enforcement to keep them off his case.
The defense company I worked for in Minnesota had a PAC, and they often donated equal amounts to two competing candidates in certain districts just so that when all was said and done, they could correctly claim to have donated to the winner.
🤷♀️
The PM of the UK is Keir Starmer? What kind of pansy waisted nancy boy did those clowns elect? Ah, a fucking socialist piece of shit. No surprise. Go ahead England, lie back and think of yourself.
Here’s what happened.
Labour got less votes than it typically does, but the votes for the other parties cratered, so Labour picked up a lot of seats in Parlement. Parlement picks the Prime Minister, so they installed their party leader.
The people voted against the hard left policies of the Tories and ended up with a harder left government.
Need to put a little bit of the stick about.
Example 574833 of government overreach, too local
https://www.blm.gov/announcement/bureau-land-management-issues-emergency-fire-closure-lane-county
BLM is not just closing their managed land* but closing county owned roads across private property. Good cause and all, but they do not have lawful authority to do so.
*most of these BLM managed lands are the O&C Lands, stolen by the federal government over a hundred years ago and should have been returned to private ownership long ago

They just took back what wasn’t theirs to give away in the first place.
Morning all — what a day (yesterday, which is not today… which we must live as if today were the tomorrow we want, not the yesterday we remember today… every day) to be out with a migraine.
Headache is still there as a dull ache (that’s a metaphor for the country…), but enough lollygagging.
This is interesting (especially with the discussion upthread about him having croaked).
But what doesn’t make sense to me about him croaking/stroking out (NOT THAT WAY, HUNTER!) / etc. is it seems that invoking the 25th would have been easier all around and given Kackles a few months of Official Presidency to run with. So while I don’t think he’s any less a pudding brain, it doesn’t make sense for him to be more incapacitated or dead to me.
But what do I know?
Living as if today were the tomorrow we want, not the yesterday we remember today.
This is at least interesting in the question of “Why, then?” — if HairGel really is all aboard for the Knee Pads Train (and boy, there are some potential jokes there – I know), why is he cancelling everything for the next few days? I don’t think Harris is going to appreciate the help or anything (if anything, she should want to keep his spotlight stealing / CA reminding butt far afield).
And normally I’d also ask… “So who exactly is minding the state while you’re playing party / national politics?” — but like PPP, every day this ass isn’t actively trying to sabotage California is a better day.
But if the article is right and he’s part of a faction sharpening the long knives for the convention… interesting times indeed.

Morning, Sean… SNAFU continues to be the word of the day, imho.
☕✊
2024, vote bonus hole!!!!
-Democrats
Good morning, Sean and SDF.
I’ve been listening to Nuclear War: A Scenario.
Happy thoughts for this morning:
The sole authority for the US to launch a nuclear attack rests with POTUS.
Is Biden alive? Incapacitated? Vegetative?
Who currently is POTUS?
Who would make that decision this morning?
Can the US, right now, even launch a retaliatory strike?
Good morning, Chip, Sean, SDF, and rhy!
I haven’t had nearly enough coffee to even begin to ponder that nuke shit.
My apologies. I didn’t scroll up enough to see that rhywun was here. Not an intentional snub.
Only briefly before insomnia faded.
I think he is alive — probably no more vegetative than before. I suspect his staff would step in in his name (without letting lower folks know he’s not really issuing the orders) and worst case, the Chair of the Joint Chiefs would issue the order as if the President did.
After all, the Chair’s taken foreign policy and whether he’d obey lawful orders in his hands before — this is just a small step further towards “We know better than the supposed President!” Cynical… but those are the times we live in.
But only after warning the target.
You may be right.
But, from a game theoretic perspective, the uncertainty is a problem. If there’s even a small chance that the US is currently unable to retaliate, Kim may decide this is his moment and be all “FILE LOCKETS!!!”
Now you’re just being pendantic about the situation.
“We know better than the supposed President!”
There was a bit written up several years back about how the military – as the only trusted institution in government – ended up in charge via a very soft coup.
Kim knows when that hotrine bring, it can ownree mean one thing…
Utterly rhetorical point, since it’s obvious that Biden hasn’t been running the country, but if he’s unfit to run, he’s unfit to be President and should resign.
Of course he won’t, but y’know…
Yes. Also unfit to stand trial.
No one has mention amendment 25 in his staff.
even launch a retaliatory strike
At that point, does it really matter?
Sure does!
We ain’t chumps!
🙂
Alexander Haig had a son, right? Maybe he is in charge 😉
Defending Our Democracy™ by torching our own primary process and switching our candidate at the eleventh hour!
All our politicians are part of the “We know Better Than You” party after all — they’re just being a bit more obvious about it lately.
The plan was to get Biden in and then hand it over to Harris or just continue to run the country by using him as an empty vessel into which they could pour themselves but the debate and the subsequent fumbled appearances blew that up. If they had undergone a true primary process Biden would have been revealed but they really had no choice now. Will their supporters and run of the mill Democratic Party members care? I doubt it.
Moderates in the Dem Party have to stand up if they want to be taken serious. Their party has become what they complain Trump did to the Repub party otherwise.
They have never been concerned about having double standards.
Trump did to the Repub party
That’s exactly what most Dems were afraid Bernie was doing, you know, with actual votes.
Bleah.

Morning, Glibs.
Morning, UCS.
Good morning, U. How goes it?
I stupidly stayed up intil the wee hours of the morning and I think what sleep I got barely counts as a nap.
Oh, dear! Hope you have plenty of Dew! 😟
I think I do.
That’ll help you deal with a Mountain of paperwork.
I just now finished getting my nonprod online (We skipped nonprod friday because prod was down)
“Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS”

Well that’s one way to a avoid overreliance on the cloud.
Yeah, I’m still betting that’s actually 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups) at least. No one ran 3.1 after 3.11 came out.
Also their tweet how they actually run their ops on a commodore 64 out of a warehouse in Arlington was gold.
Nice to see this come out. I still have a copy (don’t ask me the edition… had it for years hoping my son would eventually be interested..) — but never play it because I can just imagine the fun the cats would have with the board state when our backs are turned. (Especially the youngest practical physics cat… she’s always testing gravity!)
The only time I won A&A, Inwas playing Japan and the assistant RD was playing Germany.
Fun times.
I’m pulling a sick day. It’s rainy and I just wanna blow work off today
No judgement here, OBE — enjoy your “mental health day”.
As we approach 500 (hopefully) before the Morning Links (where I’m hoping Sloopy spares some time to call Verstappen the whiny bitch that he is), have to say that an option to “Sort threads, Newest To Oldest” would be nice for this platform. But honestly, just glad when the squirrels don’t start rejecting comments or pulling the whole site down, so not worrying too much about it.
This whole kerfuffle puts Kennedy in play. I also just don’t see how Kamala has a path forward. Even with a choice VP candidate.
She has no command of anything in terms of policy.
Couple with the fact that she either has not been around Joe so has no idea on his presidency or she was around him and also conned folks on his health.
She’ll have the solid 40% of “Water Glass” Jackass voters, I expect — whether there’s enough to get her close to the Margin of Fortification, I suppose we’ll see. I can’t imagine folks haven’t picked up on how awful she is already, and if they haven’t — they will as soon as they listen to her idiocy. But if they could drag a brain dead daughter showing corrupt puppet across the finish line, and if 2022 showed the AWFuLs will turn out in droves if their Moloch worship is threatened… I don’t think anything is off the table.
Schlichter put it well this morning:
Some moms really try to push their kids too early…
“But it’s from the Puppy Einstein line!”
Ok, which one of y’all was this?

whats goody
From Anonymous Conservative:
”President Biden’s announcement that he was abandoning his reelection bid was just hours old, but Bill and Hillary Clinton wasted no time in giving their full support for Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.” Clever. Kamala is Constitutionally ineligible. But she is the only one who can access Biden’s campaign cash. She accesses the cash, transfers it to a dual ticket of her and Hillary, and then has to drop out, and there Hillary is. I wonder if some of this drama is being inserted into the script to draw more attention, and involve more people. Because the great script is useless if nobody is paying attention.
Now, Jill Biden is on a plane to France.

I’m curious if this was these are the kinds of discussions that passed back and forth on the streets of Rome just after Julius Caesar was murdered.
