It amuses me when he accuses folks of being angry in their replies to him. When they were passing out the self awareness gene Davis was absent that day.

Shows just how much the republican party has become the party of trump.

I guess a political flip flopper isn't a bad thing anymore. Attention spans and long term memory are not what they used to be either.

To watch that parade of former rivals heeping praise last night on a guy who has said reprehensible things about all of them or their family was interesting, to say the least. Not to mention all the negative things JD Vance and the others have said about trump.

Biden has covid

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I heard Adam Schiff has called for him to step down. If he does this could be one wild ride the next few months.

Seems like getting covid, again, while in your 80's would be a good reason/excuse to drop out. Heck, I knew at age 64 I couldn't do my job the way I would have liked. Mentally I am okay and could probably ace the same test trump took LOL, but even there I am diminished from just a few years ago. Physically my hands are pretty much shot as far as using them to make a living which I did for 45 years. Since I stopped working the pain in my right hand is now only a dull ache as opposed to the much worse pain I used to have all of the time when wielding a knife.

Yes, but at a diminished level. Still, I've found ways to faking some chords that I can't play the normal correct way. I haven't played much lately, but I rarely do in the summer as it is usually too nice out to sit in my dark basement music room. I'm sure I'll be playing more this fall and winter when the weather turns to crap.

I do think my long time plans of starting or joining a "band of geezers" is probably not going to happen.

Biden drops out!

Trump was as classy as he always in his reaction.

"Trump had called for national unity in the wake of an assassination attempt against him last weekend. But he quickly ditched that message by the time he accepted the GOP presidential nomination on Thursday at the Republican National Convention. His acceptance speech, which ran more than 90 minutes, was filled with insults and vitriol.

His Truth Social post about Biden's withdrawal was no different.

"Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, adding: "We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

So, will we suffer greatly or will it be remedied quickly which would mean we won't suffer greatly?

Or maybe we'll only suffer greatly, but just for a little while. But then again, would that be stuffing greatly?

One thing is for sure. There's only one old codger in the race now.
