So what Cabinet position did Trump offer him? My bet is on AG.

You shouldn't play in the NFL because you are too busy moving goalposts.

You posted

It's fucking shameful people want to act like Biden is still mentally capable.

Then I posted about how he is mentally still there, but still shouldn't be President. Now it turns out you agree! Awesome.

He says he hasn't changed that much since he was in first grade, so you're not that far off.

I honestly don't think his problem is his mind. His mind is sharp, but his body is betraying him. When he slips up and can't find the next word, or mixes up some names, I think it's just his mouth outpacing his brain. When you give him time to finish his thought, he shows he still understands well.

Note that I'm not trying to minimize this. While I understand where his issues are, I still l think he's better off quitting and letting new blood take over.

Contrast this with Trump, who can't stay on topic even with a teleprompter. His insistence that Harris "started out Indian, then turned Black" can be explained by the idea that he can't tell the difference between Harris and Nikki Haley. I think Trump is much further gone than Biden is. Neither should be running

What about Libertarian political consultants?

Well, yeah, it was a rehearsed speech, read off a teleprompter, with a sympathetic crowd. Much different than a debate, where you have to speak off the cuff, within a time limit, and the crowd (if there is one) pledges to be non-partisan.

And, maybe Biden took Trump's advice and hopped himself up on pills. I wouldn't blame him for it, personally.

It's just a key part of the DARVO thing. They accuse the opposition of whatever they are getting accused of. Russia was accused of trying to interfere with the election on his behalf? Now everything is "election interference". People complain about Trump's criminal cases? Keep talking about the "Biden crime family", without evidence, as if it's a real thing. And after they tried and failed on Jan 6 to stage a coup, now everything they don't like is a "coup".

It's also the reason why "every accusation is a confession" with Republicans. If they come out with a bullshit accusation out of nowhere and start pushing it without evidence, you know its because they've either done the thing or are thinking about doing it.

After this latest round of bogus SC rulings, there was a lot of introspection into how the Court got this way. Someone pointed out that there was a book written during the Obama years accusing Democrats of undermining the Federal Judiciary to subert the rule of law -- and the process in the book exactly matched what Trump and McConnell did. They wrote it out in plain sight -- but since it was written as a baseless accusation, nobody paid attention.

I find LinkedIn useful, but absolutely refuse to install the app on my phone. I figure it's enough to give them access to my contacts and resume to monetize, they don't need my location also.

Whenever I get an email notification that I have a LinkedIn message, I check it the next time I am at my desktop. Then, without fail, after I check it they send me a follow-up email reminding me that "LinkedIn is better on the app!"

That just reinforces the idea that I will never, ever install their app.

The best part comes before this, when the author asked the Vance campaign for a comment. They didn't give one, but specifically Asked Mother Jones to quote his entire statement.

Which they did, and then the author explained exactly why the statement was bullshit.

I play NetHack regularly, but maybe that doesn't count because it's under active development again so the most recent stable drop is from last year.
