Goddamn they will exhaust the national supply of black toner to cover this many additional pages.

JD Vance sometimes turns to his favorite sofa and says, "I'm sorry, it's not you... it's also not me, it's Joe Biden"

So she's saying that Trump has a beta handshake, every schoolgirl that he greets crushes his poor hands

The job numbers are now as reliable as Trump's score in golf tournaments

And the multiplayer coming first was convenient because the built-in benchmark only works in multiplayer mode. In any case that was a beta.

When the XBox team presented their early design, Bill Gates threw a fit because it wasn't going to run standard Windows so MS couldn't push MSIE, MSN, Office etc. It took a lot of effort and probably some exec with cojones to convince billg to greenlight the project. Apparently those folks are gone.

She is fighting the authoritarian regime of Venezuela, the US is a common ally. Similar to Zelenskyy, she needs to court whoever is POTUS for any help America can provide. These people probably do that holding their noses but we won't know their real opinion of Trump until after he is long gone.

Well, experience counts. Trump was already defrauding and stiffing and betraying and cheating and tax-evading and criming, and getting away with all that, when Musk was in Kindergarten playing cops and robbers (always as a robber)

Anyway Kamala's book is excellent, just the usual grain of salt for obvious bias of any first-person account especially in defeat. I highly recommend the audiobook read by her.🔚

IMO Biden made three mistakes: 1 to run; 2 run like he did with a heavy load of POTUS work mixed in so he was constantly fatigued or sick; 3 to drop out. If he was to run should have taken it easy, minimal events, zero debates, fuck the media, double down on progressive agenda.
