  1. Surely he's not too chickenshit to own up to falling for some extremely obvious nonsense.
  2. All of her public statements before and after he dropped out. I don't have time to catalogue them all, but this was just a few days ago: Pelosi, Obama, and their donor friends they helped organize their pressure campaign with didn't want Harris to be the candidate because they feared (much like a lot of us did as we were discussing the possibility) that she'd be a weaker candidate than Biden (and the donor friends thought she was too progressive). Carville sure as shit didn't want to run a progressive black woman with similar to worse (at the time) favorability numbers than Biden. I'm as shocked as anyone at how quickly and effectively the party rallied behind Kamala and how quickly she's been able to both increase her popularity and effectively diminish Trump in the public eye. I shared their doubts. But one thing I did know before Biden stepped down is that a contested primary would've been an absolute fucking disaster, and it absolutely would've been, while that whole crew was trying to force Biden to step aside but their entire plan for after that was some underpants gnomes nonsense. Biden and Harris saved us from that insanity and I think we'll likely look back at the 24 hours after Biden announced he wouldn't run as one of the most pivotal moments in American history.
  3. It’s a serious problem among conservatives.
  4. Guys, Nancy Pelosi and James Carville aren’t responsible for the Dems getting their shit together. That’s 100% Kamala and Biden. Pelosi and Carville both wanted Biden to step aside, but they didn’t want Harris to become the Democratic candidate. They’re not brilliant puppet masters, they were desperate and stupid and are very lucky Biden was smart enough to endorse Kamala immediately and that Kamala was able to secure enough support among the party to immediately eliminate the idea that it could be anyone else.
  5. For no real reason I ended up watching on ABC and in the minute or so after the speech that I caught their team praised Biden quite a bit.
  6. I hate reverting to my baser instincts, but one of my favorite things about Joe is how much he fucking hates all of America’s most contemptible people.
  7. “Old ghosts in new garments” is one hell of a line.
  8. Hey @markstanco since you’re back posting in CR, what was this about?
  9. Wait Jasmine Crockett is 43?!
  10. Second pitch to Pena was the worst call I’ve seen all season. Jesus fucking Christ.
  11. Is Yordan ever going to homer at Minute Maid Park again?
  12. Twice, man, you have got to resist this urge every one in awhile.
  13. I never thought I'd say this, but Alex Jones is right. All conservative Americans should move to Russia where they don't have to put up with gross woke communists.
  14. Oh good, Zeus posted a video. I’m sure it won’t be insane.
  15. *CRs thread, bitches about other people CRing the thread*
  16. FIFY
  17. On the double-standards WRT Israel vis a vis other democracies: I'm pretty sure that those of us here who are upset about Israel using mass starvation of a civilian population as a method of war would also be pissed if, say, Canada did the same thing.
  18. He HAS assured us that his history is unassailable.
  19. From Ezra Klein's interview with Pelosi: It's pretty clear Pelosi wasn't behind Harris as the replacement candidate and wanted there to be some sort of contested primary. She can claim credit for the pressure campaign to force Biden out of the race, but it was Biden and Harris that turned what really should've been a fucking disaster into a great move.
  20. I'd bet good money every fucking one of the Texas Rangers involved in the investigation is working a side hustle on the public's dime.
  21. This might be the dumbest thing you've ever said. It's got a whole lot of competition, but goddamn.
  22. https://www.nj.com/bergen/2024/08/nj-woman-was-holding-a-water-bottle-not-a-knife-when-cops-killed-her-family-says.html: Cops are nothing but rabid animals and it's hard to imagine any arguments at this point why they shouldn't all be imprisoned for the protection of ordinary Americans.
  23. I'm guessing this decision wasn't made at the White House level.
