The folks saying a week ago that Biden was unfairly attacked by Harris and the debate doesn't represent his true position -- I haven't heard a peep out of those folks since last week.
Kinda undermines your defense when the person you're defending quadruples down on a bad position.
"I was wrong then, and I was wrong now to defend it. It was embarrassing for me personally but nowhere near as awful for those affected by white supremacy in policy. I'm sorry to those I hurt and to my supporters for how I led in this moment. I am determined to do better."
And that's the bare minimum. That statement would simply do the bare minimum. And yet... not even that can be met.

Pretty remarkable that Bill Watterson ended "Calvin and Hobbes" almost 23 years ago, and no newspaper comic strip has come even slightly close in quality or popularity.
It's also weird writing that knowing there's a 100% chance Bill Watterson will never see it, nor any other tweet on here commending his work, and on top of that, there's a decent chance he's probably only heard of Twitter in passing and likely hated the concept.
Also: I give thanks that "Calvin and Hobbes" was never made into an animated program.

Look, I don't know what happened here, but everything in my experience tells me this man more than likely misgendered this woman numerous times and made several transphobic comments, successfully goading her into "disorderly conduct".

apnews.com/d0b13c06f3764e…
So, even though this woman was well within her right to use the correct restroom and the police shouldn't have been called on her and she should expect dignity in a public space, SHE was arrested for reacting to a coward diminishing her humanity. Tell me how this is justice.
This is why even in jurisdictions with non-discrimination protections for trans people, so many of us still avoid public restrooms, gyms, pools, etc. -- because even when the law is on our side, there are cultural variables that force us to absorb indignity or face consequences.

Honest question: does this approach work on anyone? Like... have you ever approached someone like this and convinced them your politics are the best way to go? Because it just seems to me like a lot of performative nonsense. I can't imagine you win over anyone doing this.
And, you know, based on recent polling, I can't imagine it's going to be of much help to Bernie, either. Y'all are driving this campaign without much innovation or proper outreach. Switch it up. You don't wanna wake up in Iowa next year wondering why you got 4th place.
I mean, I guess if your goal is to rant a lot and bask in the glory of a documentary that's released in 2022 on "what might have been" if Bernie had won the nomination, maybe none of this matters, but weirdly, I think you have a lot more to offer people. You should try it.

This interview!
Apparently there's no one under 65 on Biden's team with any influence to tell him that 71% of Americans support #M4A among other things.
1/
 Exclusive: Biden expresses skepticism of Democrats' leftward tilt and AOC's mass appeal

cnn.com/2019/07/05/pol…
#Biden seems not to have even read the demographics from 2016 or the issues voters prioritized in 2018 (climate, healthcare, immigration, guns). He resorts to referring to AOC as "bright" but "not representative," which is how he famously referred to Obama in 2007.
2/
#Biden also says he wasn't prepared for #KamalaHarris to come after him because she knows him & knew his late son, Beau. (He needs to stop using Beau for sympathy points. He should reference his living son, Hunter, who gave a heart-wrenching interview about his addiction.)

As I first wrote several weeks ago would happen, the Democratic debates have restructured the polling, putting, as I predicted, @KamalaHarris and @ewarren within striking distance of @JoeBiden.

Biden 22%
Harris 17%
Warren 15%
Sanders 14%
Buttigieg 4%

cnn.com/2019/07/01/pol… …
Months of assertions that #Biden was "inevitable" have been eviscerated. Unable to stand up to #Harris at the debates, Biden appeared tired, confused and unprepared, despite having been kept away from major events for weeks by his handlers. Harris has been campaigning daily.
#Warren won the first debate handily, with only @JulianCastro and @CoryBooker offering any other strong moments in the two hour debate.
The new rankings put #Harris and Warren in the lead for most electable and many are already talking about Harris/Warren as the 2020 ticket.

New Investigators Examine The Origins Of The Mueller Investigation newswithviews.com/new-investigat…
When during their exhaustive 22-month investigation did Mueller and his team of Hillary supporting Democratic prosecutors realize they had no case? Probably no later than at the end of 2017, but I’d guess from the beginning.
By the time Mueller was appointed on May 17, 2017, the FBI had been trying unsuccessfully for nearly a year to corroborate the bogus Steele dossier’s allegations.

1/ By suggestion of @STUinSD I have rolled this out as a stand alone thread on the nonsense about @realDonaldTrump taxes and the BS the left is doing to try and tear down this President.
@STUinSD @realDonaldTrump 2/ Trump has still not released his tax returns, breaking a 40-year presidential tradition that first began with President Richard Nixon. And judging by recent comments from his administration, it's safe to assume that they won't be released anytime soon.
@STUinSD @realDonaldTrump 3/ So what will happen if Trump, does not release his tax returns? Legally, nothing. Though "most" presidents and "most" presidential candidates have "chosen" to release their tax returns for the sake of financial transparency, there is no legal obligation to do so.

Boy do I have a story time for you guys! #collinsVScps
I’m quite a private person so you know I’ve hit my limits when I start tweeting my life but it’s definitely time to air out some dirty laundry. Then again, it’s not mine, it’s CPS’s. 🙃 #collinsVScps
Let me set the scene so you get a better picture of just how bad CPS and the police they often work with are. #collinsVScps
