Long press conference. When it kicked off, I went to the grocery store, also stopped at the car wash. Got home and it was still going on. Ed fucking O'Keefe. We call him "the smirker" because he's always got one on his mug, but today he was just going ballistic badger on Jean-Pierre. It was abusive. She called him out for it and he barely backed down. All I could think of was how he wouldn't have done this if a man was behind the podium. Asshole.

Yesterday on one of the Sunday shows, Swalwell was asked if he thought Biden should drop out of the race. Without batting an eyelash, he said it was his opinion that Trump should drop out of the race.

I think this is called Jiu Jitsu. Whatever, we need more of it.

And I used to like Swalwell. I wonder who is his idea of the one who can beat Trump? Cuz ya gotta have a solution if you're say that kind of crap.

The Admiral mentioned the increase in defense spending by NATO members. Having a fascist aggressive warmonger state like Russia at your doorstep will do that.

Worrying that your closest ally might become an aggressive fascist state will do that also too.

OT: So hot outside, we've gotten a High UV warning for the umpteenth day.

We go straight from a two-month autumn to "brutal heat the rest of the year." There is no spring or winter here.

This heat is just intolerable. Some of us don't even have the respite of a job in an air conditioned building for 8-12 hours a day or even the comfort of the AC inside of a personal vehicle. It was too damned hot to get any sleep again last night and the combination of fatigue and the miseries of this unwavering heat it doing bad things to my mind.

Bad timing. Just gave away four window units and free standing unit that was a beast. I live in a converted barn and the very high ceilings and constant breeze serve us well. On bad days we run through the sprinkler.

We have an LG room AC that works well, but that is over $500. A wee Chillwell 2.0 is rated best of the air coolers by Consumer reports and can be found online for around $40.

Isn't it in fact true that when President Biden isn't out in public, his staff props him up in the corner to shake and drool on himself?

To paraphrase Hal Sparks, according to Repubs, the man is completely incompetent and also the most conniving, skilled person ever.

tehbaddr's avatar

Nah! He's just got very clever conniving people to do his will. He controls them through a thought transfer process that doesn't work so well on account of his being senile. That's one of the reasons the debate went so bad!

Actually they keep him in a cryogenic oxygen tent. And the adrenochrome.

(and maybe they need to up the adrenochrome dosage, I know he's 300 years old, but he's looking a bit old.)

I wonder if any of the press will care that a children's hospital in Kyiev was bombed by Russia last night. I'm going to guess not. Today on the NYT's:Biden’s Strategy to Make the Race About Trump Is Suddenly in Doubt -The Biden campaign’s effort to raise questions about Donald J. Trump’s ability to be president has boomeranged into a referendum on the president’s own competence.

And how this happened is a mystery, isn't it NYT's. It's a strategy failure by the Biden campaign rather than a full-on campaign by the NYTs to get Biden to resign. It's him not us.
