Patrisse Cullors is wanting this to happen

My wife is a teacher and she's had it pretty good but is ready to retire when she can in a few years. Our youngest daughter right now claims she wants to be a teacher, I'm going to do my best to discourage that.

You realize that this reads, "If only the public were as smart as me, the guy I like would be winning". And while you can believe that, I admit I often have low regard for the general public at times, it's horrible political messaging. I think the Democrats have come across this way a good bit recently. I disagree with your statement in general, but to be as mild as I can be, your guy sucks on immigration. The public knows that, and while age and inflation are eating his candidacy up, even if he survives the age thing he was already behind because of immigration. I know you like open borders and unlimited immigration, but the average American doesn't. It's really that simple, and it's why Biden was already behind. The age thing just was tossing an anchor to an already drowning man.

Over Biden yes, but I didn’t vote for Trump in the primary either. But I would because we’ve seen the policies of the people running things for Biden, and no I don’t believe he’s in charge. I would absolutely trust Burgum or Rubio more than the Biden administration.

That's true. It's also true that Trump openly stated that, prior to the 2016 election.

Hell, at least now we can agree that's a good thing.

The existence of colonies/states goes back to our founding, including the Declaration of Independence being ratified by each. This whole talk of abolishing states rights, the electoral college, is nothing different than those who talk of packing the court. These things are desired to serve a political goal. And it's merely just a political exercise because smaller states are never going to voluntarily reduce their influence on federal government and their limited degree of autonomy. That's one of the things that always leaves my mouth agape like Biden's at the debate... when I hear people on MSNBC and the like rail on the dangers of Trump and how he wants to take away our country in one breath, then advocate for packing the court or in cases like this, changing the fundamental way our republic was set up in the next.

Nah I was just kidding, it's fine. Actually that area produces some extremely good baseball players. Lots of state titles and MLB players have come out of there in the past 30 years or so. You would have to deal with the occasional rural meth head. I grew up in a similar area. Usually a warning shot does it for those guys.

Knowing where Falkville is, I wouldn't stay there very long without that same backup in weaponry.

Has anyone started the squares pool on when Joe is going to be forced out? We may need to have each day split into AM/PM. Unfortunately for him, democracy really was on the ballot and just winning the majority of the delegates isn't gonna work out.

We have idiots running around outdoors here with the masks still on. Granted not too many, but it makes me realize they are mentally compromised. My all time favorite was looking beside me at a traffic light and seeing a woman in her car by herself with the mask on.

You're not kidding. Think of all these healthcare costs that are debated that we could save.

This one along with inflation is why Biden was trailing Trump even before the debate.

Hope so man. I have a buddy in CA who was better off than anyone I know well, got took for seven figures by a business he was invested in. State of CA is prosecuting him, he’s suing, all that good stuff. But I suspect like with most thieves when it comes crashing down there’s nothing really left. He’s most likely going to jail just may not do as much time out there as he would do where I live.

Agreed. Clyburn has already put the marker down saying she should not be bypassed. Identity politics requires it. They have way better candidates than Harris but she is going to be the replacement, in the 80% likelihood that Biden drops out.

Cheap fakes

Biden and Harris are now both +550. Roughly 2/3 likelihood for Trump, 1/6 each for Biden and Harris individually.

Not tons of times, but a few. Mostly middle school. Only got one in HS. 9th grade year we were shooting in the gym and the rule was when coach blew the whistle you hit the locker room. I made the mistake of launching a 3 after the whistle, he yells as it's released "you miss it that's 3 licks", the damn ball rattled out.

I grew up in a county where peaches were the main crop and have never heard of this. I can tell you though, working in those fields for a summer job in the July heat picking those things is no fun at all.

Bad food and at least around here girls that can't cut it on OnlyFans needing to make ends meet.

It's going to get worse as more polls come out. People running down the ballot don't want to be sacrificed if they think it's going to be a blowout. Representatives and eventually some in the Senate will likely continue to come out and call for him to step aside. The fact he still hasn't fielded live questions makes me think the ability of him to do so is wishful thinking more than reality. It will have to go way beyond some softballs from Stephanopoulos as well. Bovada has been moving away from Biden and more toward Harris all day. The numbers for a general election win are now Biden +425 and Harris +700. Trump is now down to -185, which vig adjusted is probably a 70% favorite over the field.

We will see. It just really feels to me like the train is already rolling. He does have to go along to make it happen, but I think enormous pressure is going to be brought to bear. The leaks of what Obama is telling people, what Whitmer is telling people, suddenly now Clyburn is saying he would back Harris should she take over and Biden step aside, etc, etc. All of that isn't one big accident in my view. He may not acquiesce to it, but I think the pressure is going to get turned up a bit. He could be done prior to the interview, or could use it to step aside. It appears now Harris is already polling better against Trump than he is. All speculation obviously but it seems that the media has turned on him and there's no walking back things that have been said.

It just feels to me that steam has picked up even more this evening for Biden to be thrown overboard. My best guess would be for Kamala Harris at this point but who knows. I think the identity politics issue for the Dems is going to force their hand there though. They can lose with Kamala just as easily as they can with Biden and it checks that box for those who are keeping score. At this point I think she has a better chance than Biden anyway.

Him not taking questions tonight may be the equivalent of throwing in the towel. I don't get what the plan is for Biden if he isn't even going to try and field questions. The problem isn't just going to go away.

I honestly don't know that answer. I've read differing opinions, not shockingly depending on the side of the author. I've seen a few crossing that line in their opinions but given that I don't really know enough about the law in that area to have an opinion, I'd have to look at it more before I would feel comfortable.
