That is hilarious. It'd be even funnier to see the regional stats.

I have schadenfreude down pretty well; it's backpfeifengesicht I still have to look up every time.

This is true. trump has blown through so many norms, it is good to see Joe reminding us

that at least he still observes them. You don't kick someone who is in the hospital with a potentially deadly illness. Still keep the campaign going, of course, but in a civil fashion. It shows decency and respect for the office -- even though trump himself doesn't really deserve it.

Biden can still get plenty of good ads out without having to stoop to negative ads against a sick man. The effort probably won't get the credit it deserves from the MAGAs, but that's not the point. The point is to do the right thing.

00:26 - "This is their new hoax."

He frames it very carefully, although unfortunately there is an audio cut there. Still. It's the seed that grew later and I think he knew exactly what he was doing when he said it.

YES - prosecution is not only worth it but required.

This level of brazen, intentional lack of governance has wrecked our country economically, left hundreds of thousands dead, left the US seen as weak and untrustworthy on the world stage, and likely changed if not destroyed some of our alliances for good.

The last four years under his administration has has seen trump ignore any and all norms of lawful behavior, merely for the entertainment and enrichment of a family that would and have sold this country's secrets for their own financial gain, without thought or care to the national security ramifications involved.

"It might be seen as political" - Oh, my! A corrupt president, political? Sure it is. So is national security. This situation also very, very personal to the people of this country, those who are still living.

Tonight it has been reported that in the state of Mississippi 1 out of every 1,000 residents is dead.

These authors are far too full of themselves and too proud of their own opinions and ideas. Screw their mental masturbatory castles in the air about what is political to them. Screw their stupid book. Independent prosecutors are perfectly capable of sending genocidal murderers to jail without Biden having to spend "political capital."

Investigate, prosecute, and lock these thieving murderers away.

When they walk around armed in public, the military calls them terrorists and insurgents.

Rejected.

Yep. Here it comes, a well-timed foreign entanglement waiting in the wings...

Yoiks.

The rest of the DB article is a largely a breathless regurgitation of Russian talking points, a bit unsettling in the matter of fact way they are provided. It puts Putin's ongoing psychological warfare against the US on full display.

Still:

It's about time.
