called it malpractice, and said Biden is "writing his campaign in front of a crowd"

I'm paraphrasing, can't remember the exact words. He did say malpractice, though.

I'm proud that I've changed my mind about some things over the last 40 years. I would have to be learning disabled to not have done so.

I tune out cable most of the day because of their obsessive behavior. Every hour a new host rehashes the same old stuff. It is mind-numbing.

Joe needs to be true to himself. I am not going to agree with every position taken by every candidate, but I do want candidates to be clear about their positions and explain their reasoning. I look forward to the debates, so the candidates can distinguish themselves.

Another moral outrage bites the dust but the rah-rah squads are still attempting to shape-shift the remains into a political cudgel.

So much energy, so little to show for it. Biden really snatched the wind out of the sails on this one.

Yes, how dare he!

I didn't post much about it.. but I did send this tweet to Cedric Richmond this morning.. It bothered me..

I'm for Biden now.. but please tell him that he shouldn't be basing political decisions on "religion". Separation of Church and State. Thank you

When I came back after going out for a run I saw this tweet..



I was really appreciative
