    Unfortunately he's only a stopgap to a more radical candidate either in 24 or 28. I wish him good health both mentally and physically but at his age I don't think he'll be able to beat a DeSantis or whoever they may run against him.

    Nor does he have a position in the administration, nor does he hold a position of influence, nor does he control the any Biden businesses.

    He does have a penchant for scattering broken MacBooks across this Great County. Communism like we have never seen.

    I don't think it's a position but more of a "calling".

    So about Hunter Biden's sexy laptop,


    Hunter, Buckley and Tucker. I feel like getting on a sail boat with a pink burberry shirt collar popped open.

    Biden is starting to turn it around. Gas prices are falling.

    Overall I'm not disappointed in Joe Biden, he's had a few missteps and the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster but in general I think he's done the right thing. I'm still ambivalent about him running again. We really shouldn't have someone this old as President. The job is too stressful and demanding and we've seen it take a toll on much younger and more vigorous men.

    The problem I see is no one in the Democrats appear able to hold the party together like Biden has. Harris has disappeared and much of the party and America doesn't like her anyway. Unless the Democrats can find someone else who can rally the party Biden might be the best hope they have of holding the White House.

    Also even if there is someone waiting in the wings. In the first year of your first term with majorities in Congress now isn't the time to say your not running again. That would automatically make Biden a lame duck and weaken his hand in negotiations with both the Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

    After Bullying MLB Into Boycotting Atlanta, Biden Admin Tells Corporations That Sponsoring Communist China’s Olympics Is Just Fine

    https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/10/after-bullying-mlb-into-boycotting-atlanta-biden-admin-tells-corporations-that-sponsoring-communist-chinas-olympics-is-just-fine/

    excerpt

    In April, Biden told ESPN that he publicly backed the mob pressuring Major League Baseball to move its All-Star Game from Atlanta over the state’s election integrity law, which he deemed “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”

    “I think today’s professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly. I would strongly support them doing that. People look to them. They’re leaders,” Biden said. “Look what’s happened with the NBA, as well. Look what’s happened across the board. The very people who are victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these various sports, and it’s just not right.”

    White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki later denied that Biden “called for businesses to boycott” but proudly stated that the president supported companies removing themselves from the state.​

    lol. nice ad hominem, what of the comparison of Biden's Atlanta position and what critics have termed his spineless stance toward China? don't need to slur the Federalist for that.

    this is the point of actually looking at arguments rather than just sneering at sources

    Biden Admin didn't bully MLB. That's the lie. Everything after that is whatever and not worth the time.

    White House Holds Uyghur Forced-Labor Bills at Arm's Length

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...forced-labor_bills_at_arms_length_146865.html

    excerpt:

    On the question of China’s treatment of the Uyghur people, there is no debate in Washington.

    Republicans and Democrats alike say the Chinese government is committing genocide against the minority Muslim population through mass internment, forced labor, and population control. President Biden has expressed concern and more. . . .

    . . . The House version of the legislation passed last year by a vote of 406-3. The Senate version sailed through by unanimous consent this summer.
    well, at least the President has expressed concern and more

    Biden loses Chris Cillizza:

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/2024-democrats-replace-biden/index.html

    excerpt

    * Kamala Harris: She’s undoubtedly struggled as vice president but she’s still the most likely Democrat not named Biden to wind up as the Democratic nominee in 2024.
    * Pete Buttigieg: The most naturally talented candidate in the 2024 field, “Mayor Pete” has also been front and center selling Biden’s infrastructure bill.
    * Elizabeth Warren: The Massachusetts senator is still popular among liberals — and wouldn’t be splitting the vote with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders this time around like she did in 2020.
    * Amy Klobuchar: Other than Buttigieg, the Minnesota senator was probably the best regarded of the losing candidates in 2020 — and her Midwest roots are always a plus given the electoral map.
    * Roy Cooper: Term-limited out of office in 2024, the North Carolina governor has ample time to consider his next step — starting with his service as the vice chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
    * Mitch Landrieu: Being tasked with implementing the infrastructure bill is a big (and high-profile) job that the former New Orleans mayor has taken to with relish.
    * Gina Raimondo: She made the leap from Rhode Island governor to Biden administration commerce secretary but doubts remain as to whether she is too moderate to win a Democratic primary in this moment.
    surprised Dukakis isn't on that list . . . or DMo
