You win that bet.

Right. The Republicans in the House labored for months to come up with something and came up empty. Biden didn't have to avoid anything. Evidence is needed to justify an investigation. Remember when the Republicans put great hopes on Archer's testimony? He said over and over again that Hunter Biden told him that he had no influence over his father but he was playing to the belief of the Burisma execs that he did. He also testified that Burisma executives told him that the prosecutor who Biden removed at the request of Obama and the State Dept was actually an ally of Burisma.

Which Bidens and how much did they get?

Why do you insist on demonstrating your lack of knowledge about the system. Nancy Pelosi is no longer the Speaker of the House. That honor now belongs to Mike Johnson. He's a Republican. And the reason that a Republican holds the speakership is because a majority of the members of the House belong to the Republican Party. "On May 10, 2013, in a conference call with reporters, Lerner apologized that Tea Party groups and other groups had been targeted for audits of their applications for tax-exemption. Both conservative and liberal groups were scrutinized.[1] Only three groups—all branches of the Democratic group Emerge America—had tax exemptions revoked.[2] Lerner resigned over the controversy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lerner Apparently, she was a persecutor of Democrats.

Meh.

I'm not sure if this is an acknowledgement that the photos were taken 15 years apart minus 1 day.

Even if so, less of a dud than Trump. Although "dud" might not be the best word for someone who explodes many times daily.

One poll is hardly evidence enough. Fivethirtyeight compiled all the polls, weighted them according to their quality and gave Trump about a 30% chance of winning. And who did the polls predict was going to win in 2020? It wasn't Trump. Surprise me and don't claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

Was stronger than what exactly? And when the "55555"s start flying, you know that the party launching them has no rational response to offer. Just empty taunts.

Actually, I think I may not have gotten it quite right. Harris' strategy is even smarter than I gave it credit for. While Biden was a candidate, the focus was on him and his unpopularity. But what MAGA supporters forget, or more likely, blank out on, is that Trump was never popular either. Recall that performed a truly amazing feat. Despite the fact that the economy was doing well in 2018, he led the Republicans to a huge electoral defeat. Now that Biden is out of the picture what better way to get Trump riled up than for Harris not to do press conferences. Clearly, that enrages Trump. And Trump is not one to keep his rage to himself. If anything it's worse now., So people will be reminded all over again why they disliked Trump. Smart move, Harris.

Because it takes 2 to tango. And the deal was the work of Iran's relative moderates. Once Trump cancelled the agreement, the conservatives triumphed. They don't want a deal with the US. They never did.

So far, it seems to be working for her. Why run a risk when your opponent is slitting his wrists?

The only "tough" interview that I recall Trump participated in was the 60 minute interview. He cut that short after 5 minutes on the alleged grounds that Biden didn't get such tough questions.

Another right wing myth distortion. "Now, in the third audit of how the tax-exempt application process went off the rails, the Treasury Department's inspector general overseeing the IRS has found the agency targeted not just conservatives but also scores of groups with words like "progressive" in their names. The Treasury inspector general for tax administration, or TIGTA, did the report at the request of a bipartisan group of senators. "The far right has been beating a drum for years now that there was a partisan attack on them," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., one of the requestors. He said the new report shows "that's just not true." https://www.npr.org/2017/10/05/555975207/as-irs-targeted-tea-party-groups-it-went-after-progressives-too

Do you understand that we're talking about Kamila Harris, not Joe Biden? Is there any evidence that Biden wanted to exempt tips from taxes? Given your propensity for making obvious errors, you might want to think twice before gratuitously insulting the intellect of others.

Please. The difference is that Harris couldn't offer falsehoods on a scale and a rate that could rival Trump's. Who can? So there would be a lot less to challenge.

Since you haven't told us where you come from or where you are, it's not possible to evaluate your statement. But on a global scale we've had record warm temperatures for 15 months which means winters were encompassed everywhere.

He's obviously extremely intelligent but his repugnant personality actually undermines his efforts to help Trump. He's just preaching to the converted.

It might be difficult for Harris to find an interviewer as fawning as Musk. Trump apparently managed to make at least 20 errors of fact. I don't think Musk seriously challenged him on any of them. More like a bro-fest than an interview.

Typo. Thanks for pointing that out. Actually just start at the 1 minute mark. You won't have long to wait.

From a strategic point, why should she? Why not just let weird Trump beat up on himself? He's demonstrating that he's got quite a gift for that. It shows that there's a bright side to a deteriorating mind.

The thesis of the article is that Harris is playing to her leftist base just as Trump is playing to his MAGA base. But the fact is what issues is Harris stressing that is directed at her leftist base? Actually, what Harris is doing is letting Trump self-destruct. He seems to be utterly unable to control himself. Walz nailed it when he called Trump weird. Trump's shtick is wearing thin. And, as his mind deteriorates, it's only going to get worse for him.

Very odd that the article doesn't mention an obvious reason why Iran is supplying ballistic missiles to Russia Russia said to be delivering advanced air defenses to Iran as Tehran touts ties Iranian officials say Russia has begun delivering advanced air defense and radar equipment to Iran after Tehran asked the Kremlin for the arms, the New York Times reported Monday. While local Iranian media reported that Tehran had requested the equipment, a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and another official confirmed to the Times that not only had the request been made, but that deliveries had started. The development came with the Middle East on edge at the expectation of a direct Iranian attack on Israel as revenge for Israel’s alleged assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-said-to-be-delivering-advanced-air-defenses-to-iran-as-tehran-touts-ties/

When he trashed the nuclear agreement with Iran, he left Biden no way of offering positive incentives to Iran.

Trump seems unable to keep himself from engaging in the kind of behavior that's going to alienate women. Go to the 1 minute mark here to here him insult Kamala Harris' looks:
