No audience, period.

I’m absolutely certain that we can rise to the occasion and do much worse.

That is how it all started, certainly, but he could have addressed that in ways that didn’t involve business fraud or violate campaign finance laws.

I know it’s weird (and I’m weird, so there’s that) but my first reaction was ‘I kinda like it.’

When you have a bully make fun of him. Call him out. This is great stuff. Bring it on.

Daniel Dale on CNN, fact-checking Trump’s New Jersey rally speech. Pour yourself another cup of coffee–it’s long. The time is fast approaching when Dale will just limit himself to things Trump said that weren’t lies. Blink and you’ll miss it.
My personal favorite: Biden has “a sinister plan to eliminate the suburbs.” All your suburbs, gone.

If Biden starts to pull ahead in the polls, I think Trump will have to compromise on the stipulations. Debates matter more to candidates who are behind in the race.

I think it will not happen. Biden is just preemptively calling Trump’s bluff.

It will be during Infrastructure Week, and he’ll tote a printout of the bill to repeal and replace the ACA.

I feel pretty confident that trump will invent some chickenshit excuse for skipping the debates. He’ll blame everyone else in the world except the real culprit, himself.

“I got a million of 'em” - Joltin’ Joe Biden
I laugh at Josh and his poll-induced cowering. The race hasn’t even begun yet. Biden is sitting atop a planet-sized pile of shit, holding a T-shirt gun, he can shoot at Trump any time he wants.
It’s unending.
And it will all stick.
But, as of yet, he (smartly) is dolling it out in tiny doses.
BECAUSE THE DAMN RACE HASN’T STARTED YET!!!

Biden v Trump matters if we want to further the slim chance of our planet remaining habitable.

My flippant reply to a comment about Anthony Blinken that I deleted was meant to refer to this, which didn’t make it into Morning Memo. From Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American”:
In a different attack on our constitutional system, House Republicans are trying to replace the administration’s foreign policy with their own. Over the weekend, they introduced a bill to force President Biden to send offensive weapons to Israel for its invasion of Rafah, overruling the administration’s decision to withhold a shipment of 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his government would invade Rafah despite strong opposition from the Biden administration
This is made for a TV ad that runs in Michigan, for example, and online on social media.

I think a shock collar, but around his ankle, would work better.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the debate on a split screen: Biden from the White House, Trump from a mostly empty cafeteria on Rikers Island.

I read a piece yesterday about how insurers are pulling out of more and more states—even places like Iowa—due to the heavy storms destroying so many homes. If people cannot buy house insurance, then they will not be able to get a mortgage, and there goes the real estate market. That’s pretty big. Of course, banks will probably just change the rules so that people don’t need house insurance to buy a new 5,000-sf house. Nothing stands in the way of profit.

I suspect the aspect which really concerned him most was the mushroom, and not the porn star.
