    I know Biden is old, and his slurred speech has been a known issue at times for quite a while. I still think he would benefit from working wih a voice teacher &/or public speaking specialist.

    Biden can give an important speech that lacks impact.

    NPD Trump can give a meaningless speech that has great impact.

    His speech right now is closing.
    But I liked it. Everything he's saying is true. Minimal slur in speech. No gaf yet..almost done.

    I know the lost won't believe it's sincere. But I do feel like he's sincere in this talk, in his belief in the words he's saying.

    Hopefully it'll pull a few more away from the lies of the GOP.

    I think Biden is definitely sincere in his work for the entire country, not just a select few at the top, or those at the bottom.

    Hopefully he'll get re-elected, then release some fire on NPD Trump and the Repubs standing with (more like behind) him.

    Repeat
    Repeat
    Repeat


    Until it seeps into the thick heads of the public and voters.

    And hopefully with enough energy and passion that the media plasters it everywhere every day.

    It’s going to be a long campaign.

    But this was a good speech.
    Keep it up, Joe.

    I'd prefer to be voting for Gavin Newsom with Andrew Yang as vp.
    No idea what psyco nut job T might hook up with for vp. It won't be little Ronny or Nikki -I think.

    Clearly some folks want him to continue.
    Haven't donated to him.
    I sent $25 to the big black capital cop who's running, and signed a petition to get Clarence to get out of the ca

    New Biden administration rule boosts 'gig' workers

    I love this, because companies take advantage of it so much.
    In the IT industry I'm in, I can't tell you how many jobs are contract workers. (there's no security, it's all "at will" and no benefits...no health, no PTO, no sick days...do or die)

    It's only if they make you perm, an actual employee, that most will give basic coverage.
    Even if you're paid well, if any happens, you're screwed.
    You're used as a mercenary.

    I wonder if this will make thise who already have terms under all inclusive, transition to more coverage?

    The GIG workers employment situation sounds a lot like the early industrial workers. Just more formal, & replace factory with office.

    New Biden ad on Truth Social hits 'confused' Trump — MSNBC

    Biden and his campaign getting in the mud
    In a brilliant way :D

    The audacity to put a hit ad in Truth Social…
    (uhhh, y’think someone may be fired on the floundering media site??? Maybe they needed the money :rolleyes: )

    And to put a Dark Brandon pic at the end.
    Hilarious

    Whomever thought it up was smart
    Get the interest of cynical hipsters

    And the fact Biden approved it, definitely shows his snarky side.
    He should put it out there more.

    At least make the campaign more interesting
    And funny.

    I like it!

    I also like how Haley is calling NPD Trump out to debate her.

    Many items on the list are:
    Pending approval, a very serious hurdle.
    Have been approved but have yet to be implemented.
    Haven't reached their start date.

    That's not to detract from the many good things the Biden administration has done and is doing. It's just the list is somewhat misleading by blurring the distinctions between actual accomplishments, pending actions that will happen, & hopeful future actions.

    One very interesting link in the article I'll be sure to read later is to the similar list Politico did for NPD Trump.

    Takeaways from special counsel’s report into Biden’s handling of classified documents | CNN Politics

    Man, he just cannot catch a break...
    Unemployment goes down...but all over the media, is this report...with it and them, waving a flag about Joe's poor memory. :rolleyes:

    Frankly, with the papers playing gotcha in this...I don't recall him having any poor memory or capacity
    Hell, I know made speaking mistakes while presenting today at work.
    It happens, especially when the cameras are on you 24/7. (unless, you're super smooth and a speaking genius like Obama)

    He'll just to wait for the next news cycle.
    But the papers love to trot out this narrative...it's easy money.

    Followup...
    Supposedly, Robert Hur is a life long Republican who clerked for Supreme Court judge William Request, and was appointed by Donald Trump to be the Attorney for the District of Maryland.
    Which makes total sense, considering the tone of the report.

    Note that media forgets to mention this. (messes up the narrative)

    "We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur wrote."

    So, Robert Hur, how would NPD Trump likely present himself to a jury? Perhaps as an antagonistic, opportunistic, elderly man with profit & power in mind?

    And all the aides are saying the voluntary interview between Hur and Biden went very smooth with no issue, they were happy with it.
    So there seems to be a discrepancy.

    Almost seems like a hit piece.

    Chump would muck it up, as he's done before. (IF they allow him to sit for it, that is)

    There's definitely a double-standard.

    Some are saying Hur's report is basically to give an excuse to Chump to get his case dismissed. :rolleyes:

    Video to back up Biden's version would be nice.

    If Hur were to interview NPD Trump:
    Would Hur throw lollipop pitches?
    Carefully spoonfeed dimwitted
    NPD Trump questions
    containing the answers?*

    I could see Aileen Cannon-Trump using any excuse to dismiss the case against NPD Trump. More likely she will find a reason to declare a mistrial, so the process would have to started over again (or maybe not!).


    *The combination of NPD Trump's short attention span, knee jerk reactions, & general dislike of being questioned (King Dictator The Donald's decisions are always correct!) could make getting him to give simple correct answers to favorably loaded questions difficult.

    Note: My response is focused mostly on NPD Trump. By the time this dawned on me I had tapped in, literally, too much to start over in the Trump Documents thread.

    Opinion | I’m a Neuroscientist. We’re Thinking About Biden’s Memory and Age in the Wrong Way.

    Not that this is going to be considered by the media.
    It disrupts their narrative that sells news.

    Or the normal street person...most don't read the "back pages" of the New York Times.

    Or any politician...to them it's just spin and agenda.

    Biden is just going to have to push forward.

    Don't wait for the General Election, and get out on stage and talk a lot. Show again and again that he's vigorous and well.

    Joe rides bikes and more...WTF does Chump do??
    There IS a double standard.
    And people are stubborn to give up on their myths.
