Maybe Biden should:

1) Counsel panicking Democrats to calm down; campaign like crazy; poke fun at himself for his stumbling performance; and hold frequent press conferences/interviews to show he's all there.

or:

2) Withdraw.

Pretending it didn't happen isn't going to work.

Anyone who creates media that third parties publish should always, always make a back-up of what appeared online.

I learned this the hard way when a former employer disappeared years worth of my blog from a major news organization's website.

It still sucks when companies take down archives, as Paramount has done with MTV News, but at least there's the possibility of resurrecting some of it if individuals save it.

When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.

How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

A "Stop the Steal" flag reportedly flew at the home of Justice Samuel Alito, just days after Jan 6.

Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the new SCOTUS code of "ethics."

It's a sham.

Such moral cowards running New York University -- ordering student protestors to write phony apologies.

This is right out of the authoritarian playbook -- and it craps on every notion of freedom of expression.

You don't have to agree with the protestors' politics. But you should damn well understand that America is in wave of McCarthyism right now.
