I think the simplest explanation is they’re terrified to speak out against Trump in this year’s elections.

"The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again," Trump tweeted, "can’t believe it! Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!"


Sitting your pants with Russia, and Mikey Cohen, go with NFL kneeling. What a fuck stick.

I think the 5 AM tweet is concerning because it seems that he is losing it. I am as concerned that the Cohen tape is really just another distraction.

Russian media is really drilling Trump. Calling him weak, saying he seems like a kremlin agent, says that he is weak in supporting his own country, it’s crazy.

since Trump’s widely panned press conference with Putin in Helsinki Monday, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power cut the odds on Trump becoming just the third president in history to be impeached to 2/1, the equivalent of a 33 percent chance. Prior to Trump appearing to side with Putin’s denial of meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election, the odds stood at 4/1, a 20 percent chance.

I agree that Biden is our best chance. Hopefully he won’t die


Yeah, and hopefully he actually runs.

Biden/Sanders '20?


I know they'll be running against a 74 year old, but that's an incredibly old ticket. The younger of the two is Biden who will turn 78 before inauguration. That said, aside from one of the most charismatic black men in the history of politics, America hasn't really shown a desire to have anything other than an old white dude as president.

It's been the opposite for Democrats. Excluding people who inherited the office after the sitting president died, every Democratic president in the last 90 years has taken office before the age of 53. Obama was right in the middle age-wise.

I should have made those two separate paragraphs. My point was mostly it's going to be hard to elect anything other than a white dude (I used too much emphasis on old) because the only time it happened otherwise was with Obama. I certainly don't see anyone with Obama-level charisma on that list.

Actually, it's even more stark than this. In the last 90 years every Democratic presidential nominee who was under the age of 50 has won and every non-incombent nominee who was over the age of 52 has lost.

Joe Biden has been a disaster as a Presidential candidate. Might as well trot out ol' Bill Bradley--less baggage.

He's failed twice, so he's very experienced at it.

Having a senator from Delaware as the presidential nominee of the Democratic party would be a terrible idea for actual governance should he be elected.

He was arguably the most powerful member of the Senate so I don't understand your point.
