The Plot Thickens

Well, at least nobody bothered with the usual leaden rituals of American presidential debate.

There was no "spin" ...other than this fairly half-hearted post-game revelation from NBC News:

NEW: Two sources familiar with the situation say "President Biden has a cold." — Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) June 28, 2024

Apparently, the poor chap came down with a "cold" forty-five seconds before airtime. Maybe that rebound Covid he's prone to, or the avian flu.

And there was no "fact-checking", because we're way beyond that now:

"There was no inflation when I came into office" - Joe Biden, accepting full blame for inflation driving up costs for Americans — Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) June 28, 2024

On the other hand, he did claim that he "finally beat Medicare".

And, most significantly, there was none of the usual pushback when the subject of Biden's "cognitive decline" comes up. At that point, the bigshots fan out to assure us that I've worked for fourteen US presidents and Joe is undoubtedly the sharpest; he's always the smartest guy in the room and on top of every brief and, whenever I think I can skate by on a few generalities about Ukraine, Joe peppers me with incredibly forensic questions about troop movements in towns in the Donbass I've barely even heard of; etc. Not a lot of that last night, even from Kamala:

Kamala has ONE MONTH to campaign for herself and appear strong and presidential.
If she fails...

Oh Noes! not the “Hair Apparent” Gavin Nuisance!
Perhaps he will promise to do to the rest of the country what he has done in his own state. That’s a winning platform. At this point I think Trump destroys him too.

I may be wrong, but I believe today is a deadline for Garland to hand over the audio tapes of Biden’s interview with Robert Hur.

Of course, he may refuse, but that could get ugly fast.

If the audio tapes become available, and if the audio is drastically different from the released transcripts, then that will be very embarrassing.

Seems like everything is blowing up in the face of the Establishment.

We all know that Joe gets a daily armful of junk. What if the people who administer that stuff decided to use a placebo instead last night, and didn’t tell Jill?

I mean Joe sounded (and looked) worse than ever last night!

Ain’t nobody in the media or on heaven and earth that can put lipstick on that pig last night. Unspinnable.The media went one minute with their prearranged spin to call Trump a liar with their mendacious “fact checkers” and then spent the rest of the evening panicking with how the hell to we get our pig off the ticket.

Maybe. I thought it was the 26th, but am not positive.

And that’s always a dangerous time, as there’s no knowing WHAT they will do to stay in control.

And took his “cold” to Waffle House after.

He was put out there to fail. I don’t think he was medicated at all. Whenever I see an obvious hit job like this I think Arkancide.

Must remember that today is also the day (in just under two hours) where the USSC is likely to publish the most critical rulings of this term.

If Joe won’t go they could indict him on the documents scandal.
