So, not to be the pushes-glasses-back-up-the-bridge-of-his-nose guy who says "awkshully" In War of 1812, DC was attacked and "burned to the ground" by the British in August 1814. That is why when you are in DC, you the corner houses (built in the 19th C) have turrets which were put there to provide shooting lanes to protect the city against any future invaders.

They should make all the tickets, parking and concessions free too.

All the GOP complaints about Harris suddenly being the nominee apparent are a lot like the southern sheriff character in so many movies being duped by the fast driving character in such movies as... Live and Let Die Cool Hand Luke Smoky and the Bandit That's all I could come up with off the top of my head but..seeing a lot of JW Pepper in the House GOP's complaints about losing so many plots.

The hot takes from thread back from two weeks ago are interesting reading now.

Urshela at the end was not nearly "3 feet" away as I thought.

yeah, there were three I counted.

This game was just about 3 feet on balls hit to the outfield from being a route in our favor.

Obama's clique was a bit cold toward Biden the entire last three and a half years.

The democrats are a fascinating party.

They are drinking bitter dregs today in the Kremlin!

I shed a tear for the great man he is. He deserved better. But, he's really showing his wear.

As for the reports that Trump asked for extra resources... well, what was normal for a presidential candidate? Dear Leader trying to stress the system and refusing to accept constraints on resources seems like. You had the RNC starting the next day and a major protection op ongoing....

The USSS have some issues with their leadership that appeared to have been corrupted by the Trump people. I personally witnessed multiple agents offered security jobs at casinos during the 45 admin. And that probably is the best place to land if you are in the USSS protective service guy, since the actual job sucks eggs. Yeah, I see the tensions caused by the private/public divide also playing out across the rest of the US national security community. A lot of people who shouldn't be contractors (lack degree but somehow got a clearance) are, a lot of people who should be unemployed (drunk, abusive, incompetent) are federal employees. Its not a perfect system for sure. But the USSS has some darkness to shine some light upon. What will really make this untenable is when its all ideological and based only upon fealty to the Leader.

What really needs explaining is why Mike Pence was worried to get into the SUV.

How can you have the USSS or FBI report on something that involved the allmighty deity's providence? How can they report on Trump's health when he's got immaculate health? When they open his mouth and look at his uvula there is nothing but a beam of bright glowing light that would blind them, unless he regulated its aura to save them because he's just that good of a person.

The E-Rod trade situation was probably a lot on E-Rod being a flake.

This is some stuff... Peter Thiel is a creepy mofo.

This thread is basically talking someone off the ledge every day now.

Very interesting note today from yesterday's Bulwark pod with SE Cupp talking to Tim Miller. She says "I know from a well-placed source" that Biden is going to step aside. Now, that's not exactly dispositive. But, the effect of that on the chattering class is now the thing that matters. This needs to be resolved by the end of July at the latest. And by resolved it needs to be him passing the baton to Kamela. She's the elected official who got all those votes to be VP back in 2020.

Was coming to post this…
