Instead, his party gave him a pass and rallied right back to his side." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-not-ju...

It’s summer in Australia, Can’t the army do something? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

He didn’t actually promise to quit though, according to the headline of the article I didn’t read. I mean, I can drink 6 beers and half a bottle of Merlot and I’m still pretty sober.

Trump’s a bully, everyone says so. How do you deal with a bully? Biden has given Republicans a little of their own poison. Democrats should be cheering “Fuck yeah Joe! Pardon another one, cos that’s how we roll in Scranton!”
