@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
That's the point - crack-pots don't care about respect or precedence and have no qualms getting in and revealing Joe's obvious weaknesses. Bobby is just the start, there will be other eminently more qualified.
Hang up the boots now Joe.
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12
Bobby ain’t gonna get any play on tv etc. ain’t heard boo from him yet and the crazy anti maskers are all in for trump- so where’s his base ?
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus
Who in their right mind with a d next to there name is going to challenge the Messiah - Joe Biden ?
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
If I didn't think the rank and file were not so deferential to the office of the presidency - I would not be hitting on this point so much.
It is the very idea that there is no competition to Joe unless he/dem leadership allows it - I find troubling.
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
There could be competition- there certainly was in 2020 - and he destroyed them all! No one wants to put their privates in a meat grinder - what would they argue ? Unemployment is too high? He’s too old (that will play well) ? I clarion is too high? Stagflation? Hostages in Iran ? Ukraine ? What? The cupboard is bare.
The country wants a workhorse not a show horse.

China may do better next year than now.
The dye is cast in terms of longer-term travails as Xi has been the dumbest chair in 50 years.

@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Do you understand the mindset of the CCP cult is 100 times more entrenched and insidious versus say the Russian leadership or any other authoritarian state.
There has been a caste system installed since Deng - where sons/daughters of the revolutionaries are provided the only pathway to any type of serious leadership position.
Everyone is defined by their specific background and everyone know where everyone else stands.
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
This is shit is even more refined than the state model described in 1984 - you have no idea.
The point being, the structure is maintained regardless if Xi is at the head of it.
It's very much like North Korea.
Eastern European or Middle Eastern autocracies have nothing like this.
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
Except north korea isnt a market economy which actually prioritizes competition. Its actually quite the opposite. The thing that let the US win the cold war is that we broke up the monopolies and allowed the market to work. We didnt have the trebant we had 30 different companies. Peter Thiel wants to make us the USSR. The only way we win is if we break up thes behemoths https://www.wsj.com/articles/peter-thiel-competition-is-for-losers-1410535536

Do not confuse Zero rule of law with economic liberalism
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
99% of cases here are decided administratively too. We don't have rule of law either. When was the last time a monopoly admitted guilt or fault in a settlement with government
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Stop with this trite...
Democracies are by their very nature corrupt (to an extent) - it;s a system of checks and balances - and those with more resources can tip the scale.
There isn't a state directed imbalance.
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Humans are flawed, you me - that leads to corruption 24/7 - our system has a mechanism for self-cleansing - it's never perfect or even close but there's a system
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
We just need a president who actually enforces the laws and takes these bastards to court. Maybe breaks some monopolies up. Would that be so bad? We used to have leaders who had balls
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Secondarily, there are ppl who are more equipped to be rocket scientists, to be leaders or to be basketball players. Until, democrats can come to terms with this instead of woke ideology then we fall pray to teh same culture war trap that magas...

@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @johnserwach
Yeah, I see the dilemma. I am hoping moderates come to their senses and bring forward a PeteB/Gavin Newsom.
TBTF, it's all about appeasing the black caucus and getting Clyburn's buy-in, which will be exceedingly hard.
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @johnserwach
Just between friends, Clyburn is what you'd call an old school democratic machine created politician - think Tip O'Neil; think how do we wield power even if it's at the expense of broader Democratic interests.

The company's core loss came in at $1.27 a share for the March quarter, an improvement from the $2.75 loss a year earlier, but worse than the Capital IQ-polled consensus of $1.05. Revenue climbed to $17.92 billion from $13.99 billion, just ahead of the Street's view for $17.56 billion. The stock rose 3.1% in early trading.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's public safety chief has come under fire for his remark that he enjoyed eel rice so much that he kept eating after his agency informed him of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's narrow escape from a pipe bomb attack two weeks ago.
