Buttigieg interview on PBS. He looks great and his fluency is still an absolute delight.

Trump hasn’t. Trump can’t.

Sorry (not sorry) to be that person, but a bunch of Democrats can never be described as “an enthusiastically reactionary crowd.” (I assume the intended meaning was “enthusiastically reacting.”)

And he does get out. Out riding a bike, for instance. WTF is this “stamina” BS? Trump rides around in a golf cart so he doesn’t have to actually walk.

And Biden gets out for the occasional in-person speech:

And he hasn’t been broadcasting from his basement like some guy living with his parents or sheltering from a tornado. Looks like a pretty nice pad to me. It’s worked out okay for him too:

I guess it was too much, to ask to be able to get fired up on the excitement of this first convention night, without John Judis trying to make me want to jump off a bridge?

How about just this one time, TPM, just put a blackout on Trump news. Can you just let the Dems have just one time when Trump doesn’t cast his dark, angry shadow and crap all over everything? Just once?

New research published Monday by the Institute for Policy Studies shows that the dozen richest American billionaires now collectively own more than $1 trillion in wealth

Wow. Most of us aren’t worth anything!

Doesn’t change the fact he was sued by his own police force - several times.

I disagree. Know thy enemy is vital. Skip over it if you don’t want to read.

So we should just allow Trump to run rampant over anything Biden and the Dems do? You really want a repeat of 2016 where HRC couldn’t give a speech without him getting free air time for a rally?

He is doing it again, if you haven’t noticed. Oshkosh is just the latest episode for him. And the media continue to cover to the exclusion of anything - worse now because, this time, he IS President.
