And whatever’s in the war chest gets transferred. Yeah., a new candidate would enliven the base. Fundraising wouldn’t be a problem.

The interview last night was not a total disaster, but it wasn't great and definitely didn't help him. If you feel Biden's not fit, the interview didn't change that. If you feel Biden can keep going, the interview didn't change that. If you were unsure, you probably are still unsure or thinking he can't keep going.

Biden has always been the definition of typical self-serving $$$ DC politician. He's an aged out one now. He's never been anything more than a puppet for bad policy.

Democrats want to jettison him, but can't figure out how. Can you imagine Joe and Hunter getting mad and turning into whistle blowers.

Senator Lee says democrats are not going to pass the Save Act, which would prevent non-citizens from voting in the 2024 election. Then they are going to register them and harvest their ballots.

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act): This bill seeks to amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It aims to prevent non-citizens from voting and strengthen the integrity of the voting system.

Ha...There would be a memorable "car accident" somewhere on the dangerous streets of Delaware shortly after.

Crazy but not all that surprising. We are fortunate that the shooter was off by a few mm. This is another step in a bad direction for our country.

I think he should offer his resignation. Would be the honorable thing. Whether or not it should be accepted, I’m not sure. There’s a lot going on with protectees over the next several months, might not be right timing to have the head of the agency axed. But an investigation and those directly responsible held accountable for mistakes seems reasonable.

I’ve been tracking this closely trying to read anything credible. Seems like a loner with issues got ahold of dad’s gun. Plus bomb making materials. Hindsight is always 20/20, and seems there were signs that weren’t interpreted about the shooter that could’ve maybe avoided this. But a lot of people who knew him shocked by it, too.

Same for secret service. How does that vantage point go unsecured?

The Director of Secret Service is like most of Biden's appointees, she is unqualified for the position. Most of his appointees were hired based on DEI, and not on merit or other qualifications. With many of his appointments, the #1 requirement seemed to have been, the person hired had to be gay.

You have probably realized by now that "he" is, in fact a "she".
She actually has an impressive resume, with 27 years in the SS before taking the job with Pepsi, but she has done an awful job, prioritizing DEI over everything, with her #1 goal being to have 30% of agents female by 2030.

Who the shooter was or his motives is irrelevant. There is no way in HE** anyone other than a SS agent or LE officer should have been on the roof of a building within shooting range of that stage. The culpability for that lies with the ranking SS person on site.

Well, the classified documents case against Trump has been dismissed. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith violated the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

For a while I was thinking Trump might use this at the RNC, but probably not. It's fantastic IMHO, but probably would not fit with the "unifying" tone it looks like he will be going for.

None of you are concerned with how often Trump shows up in the Epstein files? And the testimony from the woman that alleges that he raped her? That doesn't bother any of you?

Interesting.

Ah, thanks for the link.

Confirms that Trump has taken several flights with Epstein and includes the claims about him. Yeah, pretty gross stuff.

Yea, of course it does.

Is there nothing about Joe Biden that alarms you?

Oh there is, but it's not even close when it comes to the stuff that alarms me about Trump. Sadly, these are the choices we have and neither of them would be my choice if I had my druthers. But here we are.

I believe he knew him in the 90's. Kicked him to the curb over misconduct he witnessed.

Welcome to 3 years ago. Democrats already tried this before. This dog won't hunt. Try the Project 2025 DNC talking points next time.

Sure. Let’s look at all the Epstein logs. We do know Trump kicked Epstein out of MAL so there’s that. But sure, let’s release the Epstein book and flight logs
