An instantly historic image of the scene, captured in time by an Associated Press photographer, shows Trump stumbling off the stage, dripping with blood and surrounded by Secret Service agents.

Down-ballot Democrats, local elected officials and party strategists say Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Virginia - all of which Mr. Biden won comfortably in 2020 - could be in play in November after his miserable debate performance last month. On Tuesday, the Cook Political Report, a prominent elections forecaster, downgraded New Hampshire and Minnesota from "likely" wins for Mr. Biden to only leaning in his direction. And in a meeting at the White House last week, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico told Mr. Biden that she feared he would lose her state, according to two people briefed on her comments. read more

In the YouTube video "Trump Makes REPREHENSIBLE POSTS after RALLY SHOOTING," the speaker criticizes Donald Trump for his dismissive attitude towards legal indictments against him, including those related to the January 6th insurrection and sexual assault allegations. The speaker expresses concern over Trump's self-centered behavior and its threat to democracy, citing past examples such as fleeing to Scotland to avoid testifying in a civil case and criticizing the judge in that case. The speaker also criticizes Trump's continued claims of a rigged election and his praise for a judge who dismissed a case against him for alleged theft of nuclear secrets and war plans. Noah Rosen Blum, a professor at NYU, is featured in the video expressing concerns about Judge Canon's alleged bias in favor of Trump due to his divisive language and rhetoric. The speaker also criticizes Trump for posting a video of President Joe Biden being gagged and hog-tied, implying it was a call for violence. The speaker urges viewers to judge for themselves and emphasizes the importance of upholding the values of democracy and respect for one another.
So you can stop playing "centrist" now, right?

I just call them like I see them. Joe already had his work cut out for him. Then the debate happened. And now this.
And if you think calling him "Sleepy Joe" makes me a Trump supporter, then I guess Colbert is one as well.
despite Democrats doing a better job than the opposition at trashing Biden's age. [...] #157 | Posted by horstngraben
Yeah, I had posted an article about that earlier (which was removed): "In deep-blue L.A., Democrats feel worried, betrayed, stoic about Biden's future" www.latimes.com
Plenty of Biden's supporters believe that he wasn't honest about his cognitive deficits. Thus the feelings of betrayal.
That's the kind of person I want Social Services to help. She died with her boots on. #2 | Posted by Tor

"In a tribute on Facebook, Canal Winchester Schools said Stakely was a dedicated speech-language therapist in the preschool program at Winchester Trail Elementary. 'Alexa was passionate about children and speech-language therapy. She was smart and compassionate, and she cared so much about helping children develop their ability to communicate,' the district shared. 'She was a great mom who was incredibly dedicated to her son. Ms. Stakely made a difference in the lives of the students and families she worked with and will be missed by so many in our community and beyond.'"
[...] As for the actual topic of the thread: Biden should have stepped aside at least two weeks ago. It appears to be all about him for him now. Really did expect more from him.

Joe feels under attack and he's therefore shrunk his inner circle post-debate to soothe himself: "Current and former Biden aides are worried that the president is surrounded by a shrinking group of "yes" men and women who block negative information from getting to him." msn.com
Much of that inner circle? Family, particularly Jill and ("former" coke head) Hunter. And apparently Jill hates Kamala ("first lady's grudge is so deep that the only thing worse than Joe stepping down is the VP replacing him.")
So, if this turns out as feared, Trump could waltz back into the White House while Joe's stubbornness costs the Dems the House and Senate, cementing into place GOP control of our entire national government. And history books can add on Jill's petty animosity as one of the reasons.
Would be nice if Trump and Menendez got to be cellmates ...
Wonder who would be bottom bunk.
