If I can use it selectively, I’d like to not convert Tanner’s parents because it would be funny.
But do convert Tanner.

Trump is just nervously inching closer and closer to Joe
And then they kiss
The Democrats knew this was going to happen. There's no way they couldn't. And I don't mean Democrat supporters, many of whom were vehement that Biden was fine like so many anecdotes in this thread recount. I mean the Democrat leadership, who manage his campaign and more than likely manage his presidency. Unlike the public, they have access to him. They have his medical records, the reports of his doctors and caregivers, everything. There's no way they didn't know this would happen if he debated.
They might start seeding support for a different candidate into their supporter's discourse after this, but they will have been planning for this outcome long ago. And when a left-leaning (left from a US Overton window) news platform hosts a debate that shows him up that badly and then publishes commentary like this, you have to wonder if that caused friction with the DNC or if they assented to it.
As the party starts singling out a replacement, the question I hope people start asking is why they didn't replace Biden earlier? Did they need to wait until the urgency of imminent elections made their new candidate more palatable? And if they don't replace Biden, why are they letting Trump win?
Forked-tongued ghouls, all of them.

Not living there currently. ~~She~~ They was born and spent their childhood there and speaks the language natively.
He gives lots of reasons, but if one of them isn't "oil-producing countries are starting to escape US hegemony and your gas-guzzling motor industry is on borrowed time" then I don't think he's really appealing to the US government's interests.
They should start calling them seasons, and produce teaser/release trailers and behind-the-scenes interviews with the sanctions architects to build up more hype and anticipation for each season's package drop. Maybe that way, the Russian economy might actually be interested. Or affected.
It's hard to believe. But it's easy to believe the lack of attention this news is getting
Not pictured: everyone discussing, making efforts to understand conflicting positions, making compromises, and arriving at a course of action everyone is willing to move forward together on.
Liberals prefer this: for any divisive issue, a line in the sand is drawn: for vs against. Everyone chooses a position on either side of the line. Sometimes, additional unrelated issues are added to the same line. You can vote in favour of both, or against both, but you can't vote for one and against the other even though they're conceptually unrelated. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. Anyway, everyone votes for or against and the winner gets everything they want and the losers get nothing. Even if they're 49% of the population, they get nothing. Then everyone goes home to watch war movies about how 'no one gets left behind.'
