I'm honestly very worried that Biden may not be able to catch up to Trump.

I mean, there's only ~4 months to go, and Biden still hasn't done even a single felony!

It's growing less and likely that he'll be able to commit--much less be convicted of--almost three dozen in the the time remaining.

We may have simply have to accept that Trump will always be the stand-out leader in this category.

34 felonies, before the election.
Especially considering he is immune from prosecution for any official presidential business.

If he starts felonying right now, and he really applies himself, I'm sure that he can close the gap in no time.

How could he be convicted of a felony even if he tries very hard?

NOT ONE.

It's fucking unfair.

Donnie is famous for the word-salad speeches he gives at his rallies while President Joe has the annoying habit of making clear, coherent speeches that make sense, whether you agree with him or not.

But worry isn’t going to help is it? I’m probably going to have to take a break from politics . I am losing my cool. I was very cool yesterday and most of the day.

As dismaying and infuriating as the corporate media’s pile on has been, I do see a ray of hope: distraction.

No matter what Trumpies might think, the corporate media can’t stay focused about President Joe’s age for the rest of the campaign season. It is in their nature to go find new stories and new distractions to keep up their ratings. That’s how the market works.

And Joe’s a straight guy in the old sense of the word. No (meow) grabbing, little obscenity, he’s monogamous, and honest. Unlike a certain Republican politician whose personal life resembles the seven deadly sins put into practice and whose further activities are being made known.

I don't know why we celebrate polls that show a tied race. Biden was never in this hole in 2020. He was always ahead and still BARELY won the big states.
