I've been a gun owner for 30 years. Every time a Democrat gets elected, moron right wingers claim that "They're coming for your guns!" Funny thing is, I still have my gun. No one has come after it. Not Biden. Not Obama. Not Clinton. I'm not worried about Democrats taking my gun. I'm worried about Republicans taking my Social Security.
“Looking back over the last quarter-century, there’s been no intervention that has caused a decline in overdose deaths of this magnitude,” said Nabarun Dasgupta, a senior scientist at the University of North Carolina and one of the authors of the analysis. “It’s unprecedented.”
Just one more thing they'll blame Biden for. I hope.

Presidents don't talk like this. Lazy.

I love that Pete Buttigieg was thanked by the union for his work on helping to avert an ongoing strike that could have helped some nut getting elected in November. Damn, Pete's good at what he does. Bright future for that guy.

One non-answer that spoke volumes. Lawrence O'Donnell quote: "JD Vance is the first Vice Presidential candidate that does not know who won the last election. JD refused to answer that question.

To answer my own question - it's complicated. Here is an article that speaks to the possibility:

Does anyone know if there is a precedence for dealing with a second hurricane/storm of the century occurring on/or near this year's election?
An updated Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Good review in the Guardian today.

The war on women has been a thing for decades now. These are scary times. This article addresses that fact.
I'm thinking he might be a no-show. Trump's handlers really can't think he's going to show well in a debate.
Should be a fun VP debate. Should I send this article to Coach Walz?
Just watched VP Harris' talk on economics. Wow, she just gets stronger every day. Her plans are optimistic and based on building the working middle class and small business outward to grow the economy. Given the opportunity, she's going to be a great President. The huge stark difference between her vision and her opponent's was remarkable.
