A week on [from the debate], and Biden has said he isn't going anywhere, but a trickle of major Democratic donors speaking out against the president has grown into a stream. read more
Sources revealed Biden told Democratic governors behind closed doors that he, the most powerful politician on the planet, has asked his advisers to no longer schedule events that begin later than 8 p.m. It's a bombshell revelation, first reported by The New York Times, that further calls into question Biden's fitness and position atop Democrats' presidential ticket. read more
Hunter Biden, who was with his father in the White House Wednesday afternoon, and First Lady Jill Biden have both urged him both to stay on and to fire his staff. One source of tension was that Dunn and Bauer had urged Hunter Biden to keep a lower profile for the last year. read more
"He just quit, you know"he's quitting the race," Trump says, sitting in a golf cart. "I got him out of the"and that means we have Kamala." Trump continues, "I think she's gonna be better" as an opponent. "She's so bad. She's so pathetic," he adds, plucking at his gloves, then appears to say, "She's so [effing] bad." read more
But it also made clear the danger for residents of the historically Black town of North Brentwood if they crossed the border into majority-white Brentwood, a "sundown town" where they would be at risk of violence after dark.
Infamous Brentwood.
Either we win with Biden or hand ------- the presidency #2 | Posted by truthhurt
The Dems are not winning with Biden.
"In deep-blue L.A., Dems feel worried, betrayed about Biden [...] Daisy Williams, who voted for Biden in 2020 but said she wouldn't participate in November's election after watching last week's debate. "I've never seen something so crazy in my life. We in trouble ... That debate was a joke."
"Democrats fear 'MAGA trifecta' if Biden drags down House and Senate candidates" www.cnn.com
The Dem donors' pause likely adding to those previous worries.
"Biden's comment left several of the governors in the room frustrated, sources told CNN" www.cnn.com
"Biden also made a joke to the governors that didn't go over well: I'm fine - I don't know about my brain, though."
Which is actually very funny, IMHO.
"Dr. Alvin Dandan described his aunt as a 'brave, independent woman' who moved alone from the Philippines in the 1980s and put him through medical school. For more than 40 years, Dandan was also a 'cherished employee' at the [hotel where she worked]." www.sfchronicle.com
Seems kinda biased. I think we should hear about all of the contributions the alleged murderer has made to society. #AllLivesMatter
If there were ever a song for the State of the Dem Party right now I think it would be this ... youtu.be

Was expecting yaketty sax. Leaving disappointed.
Welp, according to BellRinger's comment here, it appears that replacing Joe in a number of states, including Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin, would be difficult at this late date, if not impossible.
So I guess we're stuck with him.
Yay!

Winning. Winning is what matters. If not the presidency, the House or Senate to stifle Hair Furor. At least until Trump starts executing them as his official acts.

I don't see it getting better for Joe. Even if he performs as well going forward as at his State of the Union, the damage has been done. People see him as an old man who has good days and bad days. And the bad days are really bad.
Unless he digs up 2019 Joe that he's kept in the back of his closet, of course. Don't think that Joe is around anymore, though.
And for those in denial about Biden's chances, the swing-state table I posted earlier from a poll that LampLighter referenced. Biden wasn't doing well to begin with, but after the debate even New Mexico is in play.

And Pennsylvania? I guess they decided one mentally encumbered individual representing them meets their quota.

The summary was changed from my original post, but the price/cost was mentioned because of the criminal investigation.
Basically an issue of worker exploitation despite the incredibly high profit margins for the billionaire owner: "Prosecutors said these companies exploited workers to pump out bags for a small fraction of their store price. Investigators found evidence that workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock, Reuters reported. They also tracked electricity-consumption data, which showed work was being carried out during nights and holidays, the report said."
