Yeah, that's gangrene, or soon to be. Immediate ice, cause, dissect, flush and irrigate, and maggots for good measure (if there's anything left worth saving).

My grandpa got bruises like that in the last few years of his life. He was on medication that made him bruise easier, but when you get old, you get fragile. Your skin gets fragile and you take a long time to heal. The veil between sick and healthy and alive and dead gets indistinct.

I don’t think we’ll get lucky enough for him to drop in the next year, but he’s an old fucker and his body’s falling apart.

reagan's was +8 iirc, but it was also his only one after carter bowed out rather than have a three way debate with john anderson

Given that the debate's been over for like an hour and people already seem to be largely over it, I'm probably going to bet against it giving Trump the 3rd largest debate bump in history he'd need to make this race truly tight again.

Trump probably gets 1-2 points from Republicans coming home. They were always going to return to Trump, short of him dropping an n bomb, so I don’t put too much emphasis on Biden’s national lead shrinking to 7-8 by early next week.

Borat will likely be the story that dominates the weekend, which works for Biden.

Capped off with that 60 minutes interview, which will be interesting to watch as edited, especially if they don't edit it to make him look better than the unedited one.

There might actually be more hunter stuff, but from side of was rudy getting feed mis-information from russia and if so was it knowing or unknowingly.

The stories already falling apart, just a matter of will there be any new collapses in it next week big enough to take some of the news cycle. Doubt it will change votes, but it would keep the trump campaign on the back foot. Can't make up any new lies when your old ones are still very publicly being dismembered.

I feel like Biden ended up slightly stumbling in reaction to that, like don't explain the joke, just laugh do the "Get a load of this guy" look and move on.

This isn't likely, what we're seeing I don't think is indicative of anything serious but I do would expect in this hypothetical for there to be a delay in proceedings while a majority leader is figured out.

For the Borat thing, I'm now convinced he's doing the "secret" guy dick tuck thing where you try to hide the boner by changing the direction, but he doesn't have the dexterity anymore to do it in one swipe.

Note that he asked for her number and address right before this, so it makes it no less creepy.

Thats my forensic video editor opinion.

Mitch isn't going to die before Monday. And even if he were on death's door, he would still make sure she's rammed through, it's his life's work.

Personally I hope he lives long enough to see his work undone, and then dies painfully and alone shortly afterwards.

The invitation to have a drink was most likely recorded separately and the audio for the phone number and address bit were clearly copied from a different context. Both times you don't see the faces of the speaker.

Denying Mitch dignity in death to get the Supreme court judge in is what Mitch would have wanted. I hope they Weekend in Bernie's him at the nomination.

They would be down a vote which would throw things into chaos slightly for them.

It would be very interesting for the Senate race in Kentucky. The governor is a Democrat although I am not sure what their process for this would be.

I know if I were McGrath I would use the tons of money I have and blast those hands and his face all over Kentucky media for the next week and a half asking what is he hiding. Do a “If he isn’t being honest with you about his health, what else isn’t he being honest about?” Alas she sucks so badly it won’t happen.

Have we ever had a good explanation for why he constantly leans forward like that? I seem to remember there being speculation about his shoes having lifts so he appears taller, but that posture can't be comfortable.
