Zero chance we hire someone whose coaching resume is 3 years with a U19 team imo. Not saying he wouldn’t do a great job. However, I don’t see US Soccer making such a move due to his limited coaching experience. I would take him over Berhalter btw.

I started doing triathlons a few years ago because I can't afford a Ferrari and I don't have the energy for a 23 year old GF. I've been really surprised by how hard swimming is. It also seems to be a love it or hate it thing. I haven't talked to anyone who was like "swimming, I could take it or leave it."

Lesser aides not having regular contact with him is a warning sign. Maybe that works for a while, but the longer it goes on, the louder the buzz gets. Especially in the middle of a campaign.

It would resolve problems to have a caucus, but probably not in the way that he wants. There are problems there that likely cannot be covered up in a setting like that. Even if the problems don't hinder him in most situations of carrying out his duties, the Republicans & conservative media would shred him and never let go. The Democrats in the caucus would know that in the caucus. It likely would take mental exams(not the fake ones from 'ronny' that Trump bragged about.) and a lot of talk from doctors, to convince people if he is still capable of his duties. That won't happen. I don't think there is going to be a route out of this situation for Biden. He is going to lose or drop out.

It seems like an easy choice to me. Especially after the Supremes ruling on immunity. That be scary.

I think you have a situation where he's been so shielded from most Dems even on Capitol Hill, that nobody really actually knows what kind of mental state he is in. That's part of what is causing the absolute panic. The regular rank-and-file house members feel like maybe they were lied to about his true condition, and frankly, so do I.

He did rattle off lots of factoids and actually got better as the debate wore on, which is a mitigating factor.

But the fact that the party leaders themselves seem to be in the dark as to if their candidate is actually in decline or not is a problem, even if he is perfectly fine. It means he's so isolated that when he stumbles, nobody knows what the hell to make of it.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has signaled support for trying Liz Cheney via a military tribunal for treason on national television. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/02/trump-boosts-cheney-military-tribunal-post/74281288007/ And we all know what the penalty for treason is.

I feel like I am in that split second between realizing I am about to crash my car, but not being able to do anything about it. I know that whatever happens next, it's going to hurt.

Personally, I'd rather have a well intentioned animated corpse than a power-hungry maniac that will disrupt many of our alliances. Sucks that is the choice, but that is the current choice.

Wait, what?? I got back into town after a few weeks away and saw this. I remember Brent but wasn't close to him. Still shocking.

My daughter had a swim meet in St. Louis Friday-Sunday. Not as fast My daughter did drop a collective 106 seconds of time from her 8 events. That was a good thing. She also qualified for the state meet in the 100M butterfly which was a goal of hers. She also met 8 different B standard times (every event she swam) which opens the door for her to some other swim meets. She's put in a lot of work and she seems to really be enjoying the swimming thing.

Remarkable thing...I watched a 12 year old girl from St. Louis swim a 28 second 50M free style yesterday. That's about 4.5 seconds off the world record which is 23 seconds and some change. She took 1 breath in the race and I swear she looked like a dolphin gliding through the water. Remember the name Emma Fouke in 4 years for the Olympic trials. We did see 1 16 year old in the trials and there were a number of 17 year olds who made it there as well.

Biden will drop out. Donations have dried up. Polling numbers aren’t good. Big money boosters want him out. Media has turned on him. The race to replace him is likely going to be chaotic. The race card regarding Kamala has already been played by several black congressional Dems. Big money people want anyone but Kamala.
