In a nutshell:
President Biden is old. By any measure, he’s proven himself more than capable for the job.
Donald Trump is insane. He’s also an adjudicated fraudster and sex pest…facing 88 felonies.
He borrows from Nazi propaganda to stoke fear and division. He aspires to be a dictator.
He’s called for the suspension of the Constitution. He attacks anyone and every institution that dares to hold him accountable.
He commands an unhinged cult that holds him above the rule of law.
He’s also old.
The choice is between a stable America and explosive Diarrhea.

Breaking: Louisiana Republicans just approved a bill that would add two medication abortion pills to the state's list of controlled dangerous substances — making possession without a valid prescription a crime punishable by a fine, jail time or both. @MSNBC

Trump can't blame the Democrats for him being an idiot.
This is verbatim:
Interviewer- "Do you support any restrictions on a person’s right to contraception?
Trump- " We’re looking at that and I'm going to have a policy on that very shortly"
It's the worlds easiest f*cking question and he completely botched it.

What the fork?!
"The super PAC backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got another cash infusion from GOP megadonor Tim Mellon... Mellon is the largest GOP donor this campaign cycle...and has now given the...super PAC backing Kennedy’s long-shot...presidential bid $25 million."

This is a really good, but long article from Adam Klasfeld. Click on the xit to read, but c'mon, who doesn't love the Dr. Strangelove reference?

Amen Joyce!
The audition process for Trump's VP pick is growing tiresome.
Judge Merchan got an opinion from an ethics panel at the start of the case & it approved his participation.

This is so petty. So of course they (Rethug SoS Frank LaRose) is pushing forward. Ohio Moving to Exclude Biden from Ballot. meidasnews.com/…
In 2010, the Ohio legislature passed a law creating an arbitrary deadline that candidates for each political party must be nominated 90 days before the election to get on the ballot. That provision has never been enforced to keep a candidate off the ballot - until now.
Both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions took place after the 90 day Ohio deadline in 2012 and 2020. Both times the legislature passed a bill to extend the deadline so there were no issues. However, 2024 is the first time that only one party has their nominating convention after the deadline, and it just happens to be the Democrats which will nominate Biden on August 22, two weeks after Ohio's arbitrary deadline.
The Republican supermajority was asked again, just like in 2012 and 2020, to extend the deadline so there will not be an issue. They have refused to do so. Now, Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose has just send a letter to the Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party stating that he does not believe the legislature is going to grant an extension so the DNC is going to be forced to either change the date of their nominating convention to satisfy Ohio Republicans, or take them to court.
