My main takeaway from the debates last night is that Trump's medical team managed to force him to only take the right amount of drugs leading up to the debate, and Biden's medical team fucked up his dosages.
The only way that can stop is if he's dead. And even then, if he pre-wrote his own

Yeah, he still told ALL of the lies, but he didn't start rambling about sharks, or electricity, or low-flow toilets, or windmills, or any of the other really bizarre stuff he fixates on. Apparently his team kept him away from whatever nose-candy usually causes his intrusive thoughts to win out.
Any and every decision made by this court needs to be thrown out and reevaluated by a new court after two of three of these folks have been taken out back and shot for being a domestic threat to America.
That'd require Democrats to have enough of a spine to actually DO SOMETHING about all of this.

If only we could have that candidate without it being a doddering old man. Democrats are going to go on at length about how democracy is on the line with this election about how this is the most important election of our lifetime and then they’re going to run out Joe Biden and show that it’s all a fucking lie. That they don’t give a single shit about democracy if they did they wouldn’t have allowed it to get this far.

Dropping Out Is Biden’s Most Patriotic Option
If he believes that Trump is a unique threat, the choice is clear.

Thing is, though, if he drops out, who could the Democrats possibly replace him with so short notice that would stand a chance?Paywalled, sorry:

Kamala Harris wouldn't be enough because America is still racist and sexist enough to vote against a black woman, without even taking into account anything else about her.
The problem is, too, that Trump is as charismatic as he is a dangerous idiot. It's largely why he has such a devoted cult. I truly don't know who could be a safe pick against him.
I have no idea. It is definitely a hail Mary pass. I would like to think people have considered options if he were to die or become incapacitated.
At this point people voting Biden aren’t going to be voting for Biden they’re voting for the D behind him. So long as they don’t choose some kind of George Latimer piece of shit it’ll be an upgrade.
I mean we said the same thing about Obama. Course Kamala isn’t the orator Obama was and has even less charisma than Hillary but you get a lady version of Obama I can see her taking the Oval Office.
And I believe that safe picks are how we got here in the first place and I don’t think they’re what are going to get us out.
Problem being a lot of these polls are just asking T v B.
Some other polls are showing Kennedy with 15-20% of support in some states. He's not going to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing a decisive role in eroding or diluting the anti-T vote. "anything better than either of these two isn't... I mean, I can't actually disagree with that.

The Supreme Court hits just keep on coming.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Justice Department improperly charged charge more than 300 people with obstructing Congress during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, including Trump’s. In a 6-3 ruling — in which two justices crossed ideological lines — the court concluded that a 2002 law, which was enacted after the Enron scandal to prevent destruction of evidence in financial crimes, only applied in cases where the alleged obstruction related to “impairing the availability or integrity” of “records, documents, or objects” used in the disrupted proceeding. The court ruled that the Justice Department had applied the law too broadly and that the physical presence of some of the rioters inside the Capitol alone was not “obstruction of an official proceeding” under the law. The ruling may force prosecutors to reconsider charges in dozens of pending cases, and judges may need to resentence some defendants already sent to prison for interfering with Congress’ effort to certify Biden’s victory. (Associated Press / Politico / NPR / Washington Post / New York Times / Wall Street Journal / CNN / NBC News / ABC News)
The Supreme Court upended a 40-year-old decision and weakened the executive branch’s ability to interpret laws it’s charged with implementing. The court’s six conservative justices overturned the 1984 decision colloquially known as Chevron, which required judges to defer to federal agencies’ “reasonable” interpretations of “ambiguous” federal laws. The ruling expands the power of federal judges to overturn agency decisions over environmental, public health, workplace safety, consumer protections, and more. The precedent, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, is one of the most cited in American law. (Politico / Axios / Associated Press / NPR / New York Times / Washington Post / Bloomberg / CNN / Wall Street Journal / ABC News)
The Supreme Court ruled that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public places. In its first ruling on homelessness in four decades, the court found that a local ordinance in a small Oregon town, which criminalize behaviors associated with being unhoused, like sleeping or camping on public property or in parks, doesn’t amount to “cruel and unusual” punishment under the Eighth Amendment even when no shelter is available. In Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent, she called laws against homeless individuals “unconscionable and unconstitutional,” saying “Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime.” Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said homelessness is complex, but the Eighth Amendment “does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy.” (Washington Post / New York Times / ABC News / NPR / Axios / Associated Press / Politico / Bloomberg / Wall Street Journal)

Okay. People need to start turning up outside these Justice's houses every night. Playing LOUD music. Shining bright lights through their windows. If depriving someone of the ability to sleep isn't "cruel and unusual" then let's deprive them of that privilege & see how long it takes for it to be reclassified as a right.
I clicked this and mistakenly started reading the replies and comments. I've never felt so ill.
All research has indicated that RFK draws more from Trump than Biden.
I do wonder what they are eventually going to offer RFK to get him to drop out so he doesn't spoil the Right Wing vote. The party doesn't have much to offer right now.

Polonium?
A Kennedy, killed by a conspiracy that actually involves teh Russians ?
Pretty sure that violates the rules of physics...
I'm officially throwing my hat into the ring. Someone make me a poster. "Necro for President: Probably lackluster, but at least he's not Trump or Biden"
Honestly, if that's on the table then giving it to Trump would solve far more problems for the party.
