That won't happen. I'm not attractive like Sky's Kay Burley or Fox's Sean Hannity. Even Twitter's Tucker Carlson.

Top Democrats won't join calls for Justice Sotomayor to retire, but they still fear a Ruth Bader Ginsburg repeat
As more liberals urge Sonia Sotomayor to step down this year to ensure that Biden can pick her successor, some Senate Democrats are voicing fears of a 7-2 conservative majority.
www.nbcnews.com
"With that humbling history in mind, some liberal commentators say Sotomayor — who is 69, a lifelong diabetic and the oldest member of the court’s liberal wing — should retire while Joe Biden is president and Democrats control the Senate, echoing similar calls directed at Ginsburg a decade ago that went unheeded.
Democratic senators who serve on the Judiciary Committee remain haunted by the Ginsburg precedent. None are publicly calling on Sotomayor to step down, but they say they hope it doesn’t happen again and create a 7-2 conservative majority."
You mean Biden may lose? So little faith.
“'Run it to 7-2 and you go from a captured court to a full MAGA court,' Whitehouse said in an interview. 'Certainly I think if Justice Ginsburg had it to do over again, she might have rethought her confidence in her own health.'"
Yes - speak on behalf of the dead who can't speak for themselves.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is all about drama queen energy and antics. But there is so much at stake in 2024. Defeating Biden is the real goal, not burning down the House.

Of course it won’t invalidate state laws. But it does pave the way for state law reform.

“Ate part of his brain”? Wtf?

I think he is exaggerating a bit. his mercury poisoning around the same time would be more of the cause of his brain fog and memory lapses than the bug that ate his brain.

Mercury poisoning from eating fish?? Is he a fucking whale? Or was it the mercury that we are sneaking into the vaccines?

I don't give much Creedence to the mercury poisoning either, but he said he had suffered from it from eating too much fish, so that would lead to neurological/mentation issues versus a brain bug.Mercury poisoning from eating fish??

Time passes, but Germany is still divided (AfD is the far right antisemitic pro-Russian party).

They may or may not be antisemtic, but I believe they are very much pro-Israel, officially at least.

Hard to imagine anyone maneuvering around Harris to get the nomination now, but I guess there are still some long shot contenders like Newsome.
Who gets the VP spot will be interesting. A lot of the people being talked about might not want it - either because they want the top spot or nothing, or they don’t want to be tied to Harris’s failed campaign bid.

No one will run. They’re throwing Kamala to the wolves because they know it’s already over.

She has to have a running mate.
I read that the Pennsylvania or North Carolina governors are strong VP contenders. I’d never heard of either of them, which tracks

They’d have to take the campaign funds away from her. They are in both Biden’s and her name
He and everybody else jumped on her and are endorsing her.

is right. No one else is going to jump in and get crushed ruining future runs.
You get a black female of South Asian ancestry. She is the dems poster child if she doesn’t speak. Plus stepping up is what a VP is supposed to do.

Think about it. It’s the smartest thing you’ve heard all week.
Grab that Republican vote that can’t stand Trump but would never vote Democrat/woman/non-white/etc

Romney is even less electable than Kamala is. The idea that he'll somehow energize the ticket is absolutely laughable.

To my surprise and her team’s credit, Harris has a had a really sharp campaign line these last few weeks and seems to be doing a good job raising funds and getting younger people interested.
It’s gone from a Trump win to a contested election in the last few weeks, but there is still plenty of time for Harris to flounder badly.

I have noticed a big change in tone in the Fox News comment sections. Lots of “regular” republicans bashing MAGA and Trump. Best line: “the country didn’t want Biden or Trump. Now it doesn’t want Trump”
