Fox hosts complaining about Biden’s ‘senility’ is maddening bad-faith.

Trump speaks in word salads of run-on sentences, non-sequiturs, lies & made-up stories, missing verbs, and general incoherence. And he can’t answer a policy question to save his life.

A few highlights:

/1
- ‘fire and fury’
- neo-Nazis are ‘good people’
- buying Greenland
- nuking hurricanes
- Space Force (commanded by Buzz Lightyear)
- ‘super duper missiles’
- drinking bleach
- injecting sunlight
- corona is ‘disappearing’
- ‘sir’ stories (h/t @ddale8)
- wearing a Superman

/2
t-shirt after leaving Walter Reed
- putting spikes on the border wall plus a moat with snakes
- forcing Secret Service agents to get in a sealed SUV w/ him when he was corona positive
- Obamagate, or rather OBAMAGATE!!
- 20k+ lies
- dithering on QAnon, Proud Boys, alien DNA

/3
You could go on and on with more Trump lunacies - ‘the mayor of Russia’ - the point is that if your benchmark to vote is mental fitness, the choice is not even close.

I’d say that was a slim victory for Harris. Pence was way better than Trump, but he still fell into that fatiguing Trumpian condescension toward women which I’d say was the primary take-away. Trump desperately needs suburban women,& Pence’ performance just made that problem worse
In response to some of the comments: I mean victory electorally. I don't think she landed any KO blows, and I think Pence did reasonably well making Trumpism seem not terrifying (like when Trump dithered on the Proud Boys). But that is good enough for Biden-Harris, bc they're /2
winning by 10%. Harris needed to hold her own/look presidential, put solid points on the board (covid & police/justice reform were her best, IMO), and let hang Pence hang himself with educated women voters when he started mansplaining and talking over her and the moderator.And /3

THREAD on the Bolton and Woodward books regarding Trump and North Korea. The big, completely predictable, takeaways:

1. Trump had no idea what he was doing.

Both confirm pretty much what anyone could see from the start – that Trump was winging it. Of Trump’s many governing /1
flaws, it is his shambolic maladministration of government that aggravates me the most. Dealing with NK on nukes is a big deal. A lot people are really concerned that NK may proliferate them, manage them poorly and have an accidental, or use them if there were a war. This is /2
serious stuff, yet Trump showed up grossly unprepared, didn’t read or listen to his briefers, didn’t understand the issues, knew nothing about Korea, nukes, or missiles, and would have signed just about anything were it not for all the journalists and analysts holding his feet /3

.@GrecianFormula is very kind, but I must say that I just don't see much different coming regarding North Korea with a Biden victory. So I am not sure how much I am adding here.

The big story for me about Trump, and SK President Moon's, engagement with NK is HOW LITTLE it has /1
changed. Since 2017, I've been going to panels and events where I've heard dozens of powerpoints and talks about how everything is gonna to be different, that Moon is breaking through, how Trump's transactional, non-ideological approach to diplomacy opened new doors and so on. /2
Moon's rhetoric particularly was just soaring; I remembered being invited to speak at a National Assembly conference on ending the Korean War officially. And another on all the projects SK was going to do with NK. And then NK was going to join the IMF and World Bank too. /3

Can we all agree that ‘functional training’ is a euphemism for still being able to tie your own shoelaces as you slide into 50? God, this is depressing
I’m really not very functional, apparently. Ugh
Seriously, I hate all this cross-fit stuff. It’s depressing. It really makes you feel washed out. I’d rather run

Running Twitter: This thread got a lot more responses than I expected. So here is some consolidation of points for comment:

Gear:
I wear CW-X and 2XU compression tights, heat permitting. My dailies are Ghost 12 and Pegasus 37, plus Wave Prophecy 9 for long runs. I tried Nike /1
& UA compression; they’re really athleisure, not performance wear. Also, I have zero-drop Altras (Escalante 2, which I don’t like) and minimalist Adidas for speedwork/racing.

Issues:
I get pain in my left upper back leg, which I figure is my IT band. And my hams ache /2
constantly.

Causes:
I have duck-feet, with a worse splay on the left. I figure that’s my problem; it hurts my form. (Curiously though, my shoes wear as a supinator [on the outside] not a pronator. I don't get that.) And generally, I am 47 which is old for running, so my legs /3

Keep telling US partners & friends who don’t understand why POTUS berates them to hang on a just few more months.

Again and again, when I meet Korean or other foreign diplomats/military/business people, they are nervous and frustrated about what Trump will do and ask about /1
it. The Koreans, for example, ask about whether Trump will try to pull out USFK as he is trying to pull out US military from Germany. The Europeans ask if that pull-out is just because Trump hates Merkel. (Yes.)

For 4 years now, this has been a constant. On the sides of /2
conferences, at the dinners, and so on, this is what our partners want to know - and not just public sector people, but business,NGOs, religious.

I’m not sure Americans realize just how how much damage control Americans living overseas are doing for the Trump administration. /3
