- Somebody help me out here, but I can’t find a link to when the New York Times must have called for Trump to drop out of the race for the good of the nation? Maybe it was way back when he announced his campaign on November 15, 2022 less than two years...130 comments 364 Recs
- Can’t write in detail due to weekend work, but just saw the first major post debate poll from a credible source — Morning Consult. While most voters including a 47% plurality of Democrats want Biden to step aside, Biden is also still ahead of Trump by...292 comments 404 Recs

- So at the start, let me confess that I have not watched even a second of this week's presidential debate. Not live, nor a video clip of the highlights (probably because there really weren't any other than maybe the "alley cat” remark). And that is...29 comments 121 Recs
- K, I just got a couple of thoughts. I have listened to pundits yap like baying dogs for two days now — and what I haven’t seen is a single prominent Democrat, Operative or Administration member who says that it’s “Lights Out” and time for Biden to pack...201 comments 210 Recs
- After receiving some positive feedback on a comment in another story, I decided (against my better judgment) to expand and rework it somewhat and make it into its own story in order to give it more visibility. I’ve been a member of this site for about...359 comments 763 Recs

- And should be. I saw this headline a few hours ago and knew that it was over. And should be. No matter what risks and uncertainties lie ahead, Joe Biden can’t be our party’s leader to counter the threat of Trumpism in November 2024. I saw what I saw....26 comments 2 Recs
