As you would expect, CNN isn't talking about it, so I had to go to Fox for more info.

Oh noes, someone who speaks all the fucking time misspoke. Clearly she's owned by the Jews, or something.

If only that "someone who speaks all the fucking time misspoke" mentality was given to the other side as well, but it's not. Granted, it hasn't needed to be used for the past four years, but still...

The reason her saying that is interesting is A) I've never heard a VP put themselves at the top of the ticket. It's a hell of a slip up. B) Have you not heard the conspiracy theory from months ago that Biden will drop out after being sworn in and cite health concerns? That makes this slip up far more fun.

If Trump misspoke once a month, it might be. He "misspeaks" all the time. Which means he's not mis-speaking.

While I do think the MSM has definitely given Trump shitty treatment since day one, he hasn't done much to prove they shouldn't treat him this way. If he had Carter's demeanor, he'd probably be winning a second term in a landslide. Unfortunately for him, he has King Joffrey's demeanor.

But back to what I was saying about the treatment both sides get, I'd bet money that if you did a poll asking if a president said "misremembering" or there were 57 states, more people would remember the misremembering because that got a lot more press.

The Kamala story is just a person who accidentally displayed her overly ambitious plans or even her true feelings about their ticket. Although, if Biden does step down after winning the election and being sworn in, it becomes something else entirely.

Trump to have undecided vote town hall
ABC News offered to host a similar town hall with Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden, but ABC News and the campaign were not able to find a mutually agreeable date.
I imagine the conversation like this:

ABC: We can do literally any time between now and the election?

Biden Team: What about never? Can you do Never?

I remember Pelosi saying Biden shouldn't debate Trump at all. Got to say, it's probably the right move. Biden's best move is to let Trump be Trump.

If Trump were to win, do you think we'd get a new Trump who never lies because he no longer has a reason to or a Trump that gets even crazier as he tries to figure out ways to become emperor?

Obama releasing memoirs right after the election.

Even CNN hints that the timing is interesting. Makes one wonder if the book is not flattering to Biden.

Biden staffer is an active racist.

You can't blame any candidate for shit like this. It's not like they put "noted racist" on their resume.

In the mail.

Feels weird to vote so early, even before any debates. But, let's face it, it's easy to have your mind made up early this year.
