JFC, I think Biden might be doing a good job as POTUS but holy shit, I canāt believe a guy that is 107 years old is going to run for reelection. He looks like the crypt keeper.

Now imagine what heās going to be like a full 5 years from now when his 2nd term would be up.
This is a legitimate issue.

I think itās mainly the stutter that makes him seem worse. I mean he just flew across the world on a red eye to do multiparty middle east diplomacy during a crisis. Very few people could do that. Still, he will get no quarter from opponents.

I didnāt think we kink shamed here.
He seems very aware of his frailty and has surrounded himself with competent people, including representation for progressives, probably as many as he could get through the Senate for confirmed positions with Manchin effectively vetoing some. This is better than a younger, more capable individual trying to micro-manage while surrounded by loyalists.

Very few people could go on a 12 hour plane ride on a private jet? What am I reading here. If you mean few people could do diplomacy better than Biden I guess you have a point. Like 95% of Americans couldnāt find these places on an unlabeled map.

Yeah, I kinda think a 12 hour red eye in a 32" pitch seat is way different than a 12 hour plane ride on Air Force 1 where thereās a presidential suite with a bed and a shower.

"Pizza Reporting: The Meeting That Never Was
Earlier today House Republicans were supposed to hold a caucus meeting. Boxes and boxes of pizzas were ordered and rolled into the meeting room in the House basement for the occasion.
Time passed, the smell of the pizza lingered. But there were no lawmakers in sight. A while later, as I waited outside the meeting room, staffers started walking out carrying boxes of pizzas ā still sans lawmakers.
That planned GOP conference meeting never came to be. Itās unclear if it was canceled or postponed or if the ordering of massive quantities of pizza was simply a mistake.
But the boxes of pizzas were distributed across the building."

I wonder where they get their pizza from, because I think the pizza down here in the DC area sucks.

Ledoās is like ballpark pizzaādecent taste, but skimpy on cheese and with a crust thatās too thin.
Oh please make kay. Granger speaker of the house.
What does it take to temporarily empower a speaker? This means no one holds this position in line for the presidency? Jordan thinks heās in a better spot come January?
