Watched a bit of Vance’s speech and it’s pretty disheartening to compare the guy who was thoughtful, bright and insightful 10 years ago who now just sounded like a shameless plug for Trump. I know it’s part of his new role, but wow what a contrast.

Not a good look by MSNBC, IMO

This speech by JD Vance is just flat and uninspiring. This is a complete dud.

Biden looking looking pretty rough today; not sure how much longer they can keep this facade of him acting like he can be President for 4.5 more years going. Also, cruising around with an active COVID infection and not even making an attempt to prevent spreading it is a nice touch:

To think Gaetz is so against lgbtq rights, but shows up looking like a drag queen in that time between makeup and costume change.

Was Trump shot? Ya not a direct hit but it did braise him. Was this an assassination attempt? 100% The shooter wasn't aiming for people in the crowd but did hit a few of them as well.

As for his medical reports, there has been enough mainstream media reports that Trump was taken to hospital and checked out with a precautionary CT scan and was evaluated by medical personnel.

I am an old school media guy and trust them but things like this are so obviously playing into the emotions of people who just want him dead and are sad the shooter missed.

Brutal all around. Media across the board in America and a lot of other places has gone down the drain.

The other sliding doors moment is, what if the NFL allowed Trump to buy the Buffalo Bills. He probably doesn't run for president in that universe.
You're right. I think the story is that Obama advised him not to run...but what Obama's motives were (I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he was looking out for Joe - though Obama's view was likely biased by nearing the end of his own 8 year grind) and how Biden views it now is anybody's guess.


There is a chance that if Joe ran in 2016 that he would never have become president. I believe he would have needed ~three of: South Car, Penn, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona - most of which needed less than a 1% swing in 2016 and Joe won them all in 2020.

This is clearly a conspiracy. We must investigate all the chefs.

Yeesh, please tell me that video is slowed down to make him look worse.
Ironically, he probably doesn't want to put a mask for fear of looking weak.

John Malone and David Zaslav have turned CNN into fox 2.0

If you think CNN is pro-Trump you really must be out in left field.


Anyway, in other news Joe won't listen to Nancy either.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/17/polit...ion/index.html
Quote:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sources briefed on the call.

The president responded by pushing back, telling Pelosi he has seen polls that indicate he can win, one source said. Another one of the sources described Biden as getting defensive about the polls. At one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.
This guys gotta go or he's taking the Senate down with him which would not be a good scenario.
