Wait a minute, are you saying that people who want Donald Trump to be within a mile of a government job ALSO believe and/or pedal deceptive BS about his daughter ?
I'm shocked. Shocked.
This idiot has absolutely no idea Ashley's diary was real and has no idea what was in it and he thinks he doesn't live in a bubble.
lol.
^ this idiot is sitting on a treasure trove of evidence of D crimes but refuses to share them with his R heroes

There you go Troll! the only issue with your argument is that Ashley (the young girl molested by her father) actually wrote a note to a federal judge confirming the diary is real. I’m sure you’d like to think you know better but the reality is that you support a child predator of the worst kind, one who thinks incest is best.
At least until I read Bret Easton Ellis's "this is 'meh'" take on in his hyper-relevant and underappreciated "White." In which the author, a gay man, gets invited to speak at a GLAAD event, then uninvited due to his controversial viewpoints (later told not to attend a GLAAD event as someone's date due to offensive tweets...really, among the first to be cancelled).
As for the Democratic party...it won't exist in two election cycles. It may have the same name, but you've got way too much tension between the progressive wing, who I hope even Biden-backers can admit have control over the party that outstrips their numbers, and the rapidly vanishing moderates who, when they don't own stock portfolios that are amassing wealth despite the higher cost of living, look at Trump and say, "He may be repulsive, but I'd like cheaper gas and a mortgage I can afford." Not to mention blue-collar workers, Hispanics (many of whom are *Catholic* and pro-life), and black Americans who pay a disproptionate cost of policies that defund the police.
Biden is a perfect exemplar of the Democratic party woes: too old to reach the young, who just want the opportunities their parents had, not enough charisma to charm the no-longer-young (I'll put myself and admit that when it costs $60+ to fuel my car, I don't say, "Eh...Putin's price hike!"), and old enough that the best he can do is say, "Don't worry poor America that lives on Social Security, we're not going to make you any poorer!"
From a broader perspective, the Democratic brand has been seriously wounded since Jimmy Carter. Then you've always had a young and charismatic candidate swoop in and save the day for them (Clinton in 1992, Obama in 2008). See anyone like that now?
I'm gonna keep bloviating a bit longer and say...I kinda do: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. He's got something of the Trump ethos in his defiance of norms of attire. He's not afraid to take a stand for Israel, entitled college brats be damned! And he's much more computer-saavy, and therefore able to campaign using meme warfare. Stands up to his own party, to boot. Here, for the sake of comparison is the woman who acts like she's heiress to the throne, missing the point of Fetterman's cutting, humorous, and "somebody had to say it" barb:
Which one do you think could actually win the electoral college?
I’ve probably seen that commencement speech a hundred times. The fish parable is in IJ as well. DFW is kind of a meme at this point and he’s been cancelled posthumously for abusing a girlfriend and not being very progressive in his portrayal of women and black people (which is not really true but whatever).
Fetterman seems like a good choice. He’s a got a good look for it. Very working man. I haven’t seen much of him on stage but I think that’s important. It’s good to have a meme game but it can’t be all you have (Ron DeSantis). I think Pritzker will make a run. Mayor Pete’s been working on his faces.
I’ve always been torn between the progressives and the moderates. The progressives usually hate me, a white guy with a lot of opinions, so I’m driven to the moderates who celebrate lowering the price of one drug by $50. Wow problem solved guys.
If there is an afterlife, I hope DFW DGAF, because I just read up on his two decades-long battle with major depressive order, which he did not survive. He's suffered enough in his time on this earth.
Pritzker definitely has the ego (and the money) to make a run, but underscores the irony of how the Democratic party has become the one with deep pockets. Mayor Pete will probably have his record as Secretary of Transportation used against him, when he probably should never have taken the job, since it's unmanageable (same for Pritzker as Governor of Illinois).
The only truck I have with progressives is my conviction that policy be tested by results, not how it makes us feel about ourselves. (An idea I admittedly cribbed from Thomas Sowell.) Moderates still exist, and I think they outnumber those at the extremes. Your point about them made me chuckle, but...there is a lot of chatter about how independent voters will make-or-break the next election, depending on who you are rooting for.
I'm watching Biden give his commencement address at Morehouse, and somehow surprised that he's using it as a stump speech. It feels like light years ago that Obama said:

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

Trumps Chef (who i know): “Simple man who likes grilled cheese and hamburgers, never complains”
Just finished Infinite Jest which has kinda been my white whale for a long time. Can’t say much about it that hasn’t been said by a million other people but I’d say I liked it even though it was pretty tedious at times.
Democrats have until 2028 to figure out a direction to go and I’m not confident they will. Party of complainers.
Looks intersting, but also get the sense of the challenge:

The D party may change dramatically, but it won't be driven by internal issues. The trump-led Rs will keep pushing the envelope with trying to destroy democracy and overturn election results, and the Ds will have to lower their standards of ethical behavior to compete.

Ha! HILARIOUS! Trump can't cry about the judge being unfair here anymore, AND he has to go to the graduation that he really couldn't give two sh!ts about! Ha! Ha! Ha!
"Oh, I have a day off from court and I can't go golfing all day?" Ha! Ha! Ha!
What are the odds that Trump is "sick" that day and can't go to the graduation?
Ha! Wrong about what? I didn't say he WOULDN'T go. Just wondered what the odds were. Also, it's HILARIOUS that he had to go. No way in freakin' hell that he wanted to go to that.
"Judge, if you please, Sir, can I go to my son's graduation?" Ha! His freedom is restricted. Because he's a criminal and a loser.
What motivates you to waste your time trying to have a fact based exchange with any Trumper? These posters just come back 5 min later repeating the same exact lies they started with. They are dumbfks, case closed.
Good question! I’m mentally ill.
Maybe she tied phrases together, granted but still, I cannot imagine a man who would shower with his daughter at that age. that’s awfully far outta control, and why would she hide it, and now have it exposed? other than revenge. no girl wants to live with that memory
“You know, FDR 16 years — almost 16 years — he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” Trump quipped at the National Rifle Association annual meeting, speaking before a crowd of gun rights supporters.

You are clearly so invested in this that you desperately it to be something, but it's not working. But do keep up your hard work!
