From #NYTimes: Elon Musk's #Politics may be pushing potential buyers away from #Tesla.

"Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also sidestepped a question on whether he takes daily naps"
So what?! Lots of presidents took naps. I take a nap. Humans are meant to take naps. Lots of cultures take naps.
#SCOTUS just made a president immune from prosecution, and the press wants to ask if he takes a nap?!
New post-debate poll shows #Trump leading #Biden 49%-43% among likely voters. 74% of respondents thought Biden was too old for the job.
Post-debate, Trump's "lead among men ballooned to 23 points. That movement was particularly concentrated among younger men and men without college degrees."

Why do I have the feeling that, if this were 1944, the #CNN headline would read:
"Some Top Democrats Want FDR to Quit Race This Week"
FDR was in worse shape than Biden. The difference was the absence of a televised debate.
Well, that and CNN has gone into the toilet as a news organization.
#Politics BREAKING From #NYTimes: Judge Merchan will hold a hearing on September 6 to decide if #Trump guilt finding in election interference trial must be dropped due to yesterday's #SCOTUS immunity ruling. If he decides no, sentencing will be on September 18.

The next time someone complains about #Biden being "old," remind them that Hitler became Fรผhrer because President von Hindenberg was "old" at age 86. That sure worked out well, didn't it.

I'm thinking that today's #Trump immunity ruling is probably the dagger through the heart of the classified documents trial. He'll simply argue that removal of the documents before noon on January 20, 2021 was an "official act."
Cannon certainly seems inclined to accept that.
Retention after NARA asked for them back? She'll probably rule that it's irrelevant because the original official act was to keep them.
We know she's incompetent. This is her off-ramp.
