You'd think he might make a reasonable special advisor or something if the election goes the right way.

Presidents usually have contact with their predecessors of some sort. Trump was the exception.

He joked last week that he'd campaign for her or against her, whichever would help her the most but here's his spot on the campaign:

On those days where I’m slogging through and tired, I wish I could take whatever drug cocktail he’s on to get him so energized. Can an 80 year old rail a bunch of coke and give a speech at a convention?

It all worked out, but the lead-up to the first debate was all drug memes for everything Joe was going to be on, then he came out and everyone was like YOU TOOK THE WRONG DRUGS

they got the balance right this time, especially since the speech started at 11:30PM EST last night and he's been catching lots of poo poo about sundowning or napping lately

Yeah as much as I like him, he was vacationing a lot even during campaign time. Like today is day two of the DNC and Harris/Walz are also going to run a wally in Wisconsin at the same arena where the RNC was. Biden didn't really do many packed weeks when he was still running, except for maybe NATO summit week.

RFK's VP is making noises like they're going to drop out because shock of shocks, it's always just been a ratfucking operation:

https://x.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1825930608721215966?t=Z2UyKrXJ2EC9aKjsVsZ2lw&s=19

That VP also kicked in $850k to the campaign, then got it refunded, so the ratfucking window is likely closing.

DEER CRACKERS
The New York Times had a piece on the college application consultant Benjamin Bolger, whom they try to present as a sage, but then they come to a great jump scare.

quote:

Bolger is a broad man, with lank, whitish, chin-length hair and a dignified profile, like a figure from an antique coin. One of his favorite places is Walden Pond — he met his wife there, on one of his early-morning constitutionals — and as he expounds upon learning and nature, it is easy to imagine him back in Thoreau’s time, with all the other polymathic gentlemen, perhaps by lamplight, stroking their old-timey facial hair, considering propositions about a wide range of topics, advancing theories of the life well lived.

quote:

Bolger said his business has enabled him to mix with “the 1 percent crowd.” In addition to his condo on Cambridge’s tony Memorial Drive, Bolger owns a house in Virginia and his family farm in Michigan. He has an Amex invite-only Centurion card. In 2016, he donated more than $50,000 to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, for which he received a special Jeff Koons print; more recently, he has donated more than $2,500 to the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He loves to attend celebrity talks: Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, Joe Montana — anyone who, in his mind, defines a category.

The next paragraphs try so hard.

quote:

And there’s something almost anachronistically earnest, even romantic, about the reason he gives for spending the past 30-odd years pursuing college degrees. “I love learning,” he told me over lunch last year, without even a touch of irony. I had been pestering him for the better part of two days, from every angle I could imagine, to offer some deeper explanation for his life as a perpetual student. Every time I tried, and failed, I felt irredeemably 21st-century, like an extra in a historical production who has forgotten to remove his Apple Watch.

“I believe that people are like trees,” he said. “I hope I am a sequoia. I want to grow for as long as possible and reach toward the highest level of the sky.”

The rest of the article


He’s tangential to the thread, sorry, but I cannot overstate what poor judgement it takes to donate to RFK Jr..

Even with all the rest that Bolger has going on, it still moves the needle.

I couldn't figure out why I didn't like Beshear (as a person/politician) until you nailed it there. He's really a creepy robot dude.

And for content: half a billy for Kamala and the convention isn't over yet. I wonder if she even needs fundraisers anymore.
