After the Schumer leak, this had to happen.

It has to be Kamala and anyone thinking otherwise is dumb.

And I don't know if Kamala can win. I don't know if she could do better than Joe would do. But I know she'll do better than what would happen if Joe had a second debate like the first debate.

If nothing else, this keeps it close.

He very specifically did not say publicly that he would be a 1 term president. Talking through the idea with aides and someone leaking it does not equal a campaign promise.

This is a new decision, obviously. He is going to be a 1 term president. But he never promised it.

If the Trump campaign paid for it as an ad, I'm not upset by it assuming anyone else could have paid to promote an alternative political candidate.

If it's an in-kind donation to the campaign, that's troublesome.

Damn. Sorry to hear about that emotion a soulless corporation is having.

What a mistake that would be. You don't try to "steal the moment" from a convention. You wait and redirect the momentum right after.

Well I don't like the ham sandwich's record on gun rights but I think it'll put the right team around it.

Easy answer, yes if they are doing it of their own free will with informed consent. People can wear whatever they want.

Hard question, does heavy cultural pressure and implied threats of violence impact your ability to ever truly give informed consent?

Never heard of a Chador, looks cozy.

This drawing kind of makes a Burka look crazy, like she's blindfolded.

Part of being the police is advertising that there are police here, as a deterrent. This works well for that.

But another part is having fast, reliable vehicles able to out maneuver other cars on the road, to stop criminals after the fact. Not so good at that part.

Sounds like you didn't understand it. I'm not saying prices aren't higher than they were years ago... prices always go up long term, the target is 2% per year. That's not the question. The question is whether inflation has been tamed, meaning will prices rise wildly in the future or are we back to normal inflation rates. So going forward, will inflation be 2% like normal? Or are you claiming it will be higher?

Right now you're not even answering the question you're just saying it was higher in the past, which isn't relevant to whether it is tamed now.

That's like saying a dog isn't trained because the total number of times it peed in the house is still high. I get why you don't like that thing that happened in the past, but the point is that it isn't happening anymore.

TIL being the most influential single individual in the last 2000 years and being the front runner to get a second presidential term for the most powerful country in the world = being canceled.
