It partially restores my faith in humanity when I see that other people, you and jfish69, subscribe to the New Yorker, too.

Sounds like Burghum might be out due to the 67 year old getting injured in a pickup basketball game last night.

Reminds me of my latest Ragbrai where one guy in our group got knocked out of the ride due to a keg falling on his foot on the way to the starting town, a full day before the the start of the ride. Foreshadowing of the hellish shit show to come.

Did he twist his thinking ankle? Or sprain his speaking wrist?

If I were Trump, I wouldn't attend tonight's debate either.

Lots to lose, little to nothing to win.

As the incumbent President, if I were Biden I wouldn't debate anyone other than the eventual republican presidential candidate. And, if said candidate is a pathological liar like Trump, I'd have to give it some thought before I'd agree to debate him, too.

Depends where The Defendant’s decompensation is at by then.

^^^ That's largely why I hedged.

Full disclosure: I had to scroll thru my channels to find Fox, because I had no idea which channel it is.

Bret looks more and more like Sam Donaldson with time.

Unless you are in a masochistic drinking game keyed on "woke", turn off the electronics. I am not even watching the recaps. Eck. Governmental unsuitability clown car.

It's a challenge to watch, for sure.

[jfish26]

I’m watching.

Don’t know if anyone else here would have happened to see the 90s movie Disturbing Behavior, but…ah…DeSantis reminds me of that.

Christie is basically Bill running the high-low in 2023. He knows what he’s doing, the stuff should work…and it’s just gonna be noncompetitive.

I agree, he might be among the most sane, but that pretty much makes him unacceptable.

[Shirley]

Whoa, Nikki coming out shooting!

[jfish26]

Whoa, Nikki coming out shooting!

At…her own side!

And this makes Pence, Bruce Weber.

[Shirley]

Never seen Pence like this before.

Not that it will make any difference.
