There’s reporting with confirmation from police sources on the motorcade detail in Las Vegas that Biden suffered a medical emergency on Wednesday: https://x.com/jenvanlaar/status/1815588805300084983
The cops got a radio callout that there was an emergency with the President and scrambled to clear the way to the hospital, but Biden ended up on Air Force One instead. The event he had for later in the day was canceled. Another source says he suffered a transient ischemic attack.
One additional detail from a reporter on Air Force One is that they made the trip from Vegas to Delaware in 3 hours 40 minutes, and said that the plane was going so fast it was shaking.

woman can’t do X
We saw people twist Damore’s words on overlapping distributions into this statement, and fired on the rationale that women couldn’t work around him.

It's mid-July. Likely an intern bypassing a safety check to try to get his project completed on time.

On Jan 6 when Trump wanted to go to the Capitol after he wrapped his speech, the Secret Service refused to drive him there. Trump ended up not going to the Capitol, even though he could have just walked, as many of the people who watched his speech did.
Had the Secret Service been more willing to accomodate Trump we might have never had rioters breaking into the Capitol.
I wonder if his experience then influenced his instincts to defy the Secret Service so that he could pause and raise a fist for the crowd.

I would be happy if we developed a norm that a person trying to get some private figure fired for saying a dumb thing was taken as a good reason for the person to be fired themselves.

Yeah, I don’t think Biden voters are willing to blame Trump if it also means blaming NIH and Fauci.

The sloped roof thing sounds like confabulation to me. In the moment she judged that “I don’t know” would be a terrible response and so had to come up with something plausible, but came up with something terribly implausible.
Either that or that’s what a subordinate told her and she’s easily fooled.

Have any of them ever seen anything be a bridge too far (to the left)?
Kathy Griffin faced consequences: https://people.com/tv/kathy-griffin-says-she-was-erased-not-canceled-after-trump-photo-scandal/
Fired from hosting a New Year's Eve show, theaters canceled her stand-up shows, and she claims to have been "erased."

Part of that was fueled by the assumption that the Speaker of the House's home would be secure, and thus this attacker inside the home must have been an invited guest.
Maybe we're just generally bad at protecting high profile people.

Read the book awhile back, my wife was interested so we watched the movie last night. I didn't remember him attempting to steal a TI-89 in the book, though there was a scene showing this in the movie. Checking just now there's no mention of attempted theft in the book, just that Mamaw made sure he had one.
Meanwhile, in my life, one of my delinquent friends helped me out by lifting a TI-89 from Wal-Mart.

AFAIK they didn't even show evidence that Trump was the person who categorized the expense.
Let alone the necessity that the mis-categorization had to be "in furtherance of another crime," and that crime remained unspecified, untried, and jurors instructed that they could meet this requirement with anything.

it's not hard at all for me to think that a white guy in his late 30s from the Midwest thinks the things Vance articulates.
My dad’s side of the family are West Virginia hill folk that moved to southwestern Ohio for factory work, and I spent the first half of my childhood in Ohio.
Hillbilly Elegy was the first book I read that sounded like stories I used to hear. There was the time the town got a cop car which was burned shortly after. There was the child molester that disappeared and for which it was strongly implied that an uncle had taken care of him. And then the relatives that had chaotic lives of drinking and drugs.

I bought into the “Muslim ban” framing, yes.

That resonates with me, I used to buy the media narratives on Trump as well.
“You used to say bad things about Trump” is going to be true for a lot of Trump voters in this election.

Thanks for the pedantry, I was unaware. Looks like they still handle currency counterfeiters as well.

Did Raz Simone actually get arrested for distributing guns that got black boys killed?
He was caught on video distributing AR-15s to random passers-by, but I didn't see those people in the post-killing celebration video.
The distribution itself is a crime in this state, every transfer except gifts or inheritance between family members have to go through an FFL.

Possibilities on the registration bit include:
- He voluntarily registered Republican like mom and dad when he was living in their home, then his politics shifted
- Mom or dad filled out the registration form for him
- He registered Republican so that he could strategically vote for the "worse" candidate in the Republican races
- He was truly a Republican then and truly a Republican yesterday when taking shots on the presumed nominee

Hope we get some bull moose references from Trump in the coming days.

Kamala's incentive is to ride with Biden so that she will become President after he dies or is incapacitated. She likely knows that her odds are worse if she's at the top of the ticket.

Having trouble finding it now, but I recall an account from a former abortion provider that they'd induce labor after doing something that was supposed to kill the baby, I forget if this was pharmaceutical or surgical. In some instances the baby would come out not dead.
There was a rule that mandated that the hospital provide life-saving care only if the parents wanted it or if the baby was above a certain weight. Part of this doctor's realization that they needed to get out of this line of work involved them fudging the numbers so that the writhing premie would be saved instead of left to die.
I tried getting ChatGPT to assist me and while it couldn't dig this story up, it did find this: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/35725/what-happens-when-babies-survive-abortion-a-doctors-alarming-response
Dr. DeShawn Taylor, who runs an abortion and Ob/Gyn clinic in Phoenix, Ariz. and who was formerly the medical director at Planned Parenthood Arizona, was filmed undercover saying that according to Arizona law "if the fetus comes out with any signs of life" at an abortion clinic, "we're supposed to transport it … to the hospital."
However, when asked on camera, if at her clinic "is there any standard procedure for verifying signs of life?", she didn't answer with a specific procedure, but rather said: "I mean, the key is you need to pay attention to who's in the room, right? Because the thing is the law states that you're not supposed to do any maneuvers after the fact to try to cause demise so it's really tricky."
These folks are aware of popular opinion, and they're competent enough to get through med school. They're not going to advertise that they're trying to work around the laws, you're only going to find evidence through undercover operations and whisteblowers.

In Washington state we get mailers from the state public health agency to tell us how to raise our babies. They use the term "chestfeeding."

I think if Biden were in Kennedy's place when the Joint Chiefs wanted to get belligerent or even use nukes against the commies, there's a very good chance that the nukes would have flown.
What does the man so no to?

I remember within days of the story coming out there was a guy who published a Github verifying that the DKIM signatures on the emails matched. Which means either they were legit, or were forged by someone who was able to steal Google's signing keys from five years prior, or who had the nigh impossible computing power to crack those keys.
If Biden is dead then the Democrats don’t have a tie breaker vote in the Senate until a new VP is confirmed.
