We may have just witnessed THE most incredible eight consecutive days in contemporary America from a political standpoint.
Since July 13 the Nation - nay, World, has seen:
- assassination attempt on Trump,
-Biden asks for calm, then calls Trump a threat to democracy,
-Judge tosses out the “documents” case, declaring Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional,
-RNC convention with Trump appearance with bandaged ear,
-Secret Service under fire,
-Biden rambles thru a Lester Holt interview that digs a deeper hole,
-Dems from Pelosi on down demand Biden steps aside from the nomination,
-Vance selected as VP candidate,
-Biden comes down with Covid, retreats to Delaware,
-Trump delivers a magnificent Presidential acceptance speech,
-Biden surrenders the Dem nomination, recommends Harris gets the nomination.
And I’m skipping over a lot of stuff.
With the possible exception of
-Lee’s surrender/end of the Civil War on April 9 and Lincoln getting shot by Booth on April 14 and dying April 15, 1965, or
-Kennedy’s assassination/LBJ taking the oath November 22, Oswald’s arraignment on November 23, Jack Ruby kills Oswald November 24, and the funeral on November 25, 1963,
I can’t think of anything that comes close. And those weren’t “political” in the same sense as the past eight days.
I found this.

It’s not a good video of people lining up for Ronald Reagan. I didn’t find much.
“China must see the timing is perfect for taking over Taiwan”
They have to get out from under water. Plus figure out how to do an amphibious assault under fire.
“Iran now has the bomb, Israel is the target”
Got any evidence? Israel would be the first to know and the first to bomb them.
“Heck, I would believe that North Korea make make some moves.”
They can’t feed their soldiers. Nothing will happen.
Yeah, the debate really teed up what has happened.
I am stealing that
