In virtually every WH presser I've seen, it's always been the reporters from foreign outlets asking the best and most substantive questions. Our guys are too focused on "gotcha" to ask good questions any more. I'm old enough to remember actual good questions in press conferences.
Has any pundit or pooh-bah actually come up with an alternate Democratic ticket that could possibly win in November? Do they think that some white (accent on "white") knight is going to come riding in and take the convention by storm? I really don't understand what, or if, they're thinking.
Because most pundits are too fucking stupid to be able to carry out a plan - it's why they're pundits, one of those "jobs" for the otherwise-unemployables.
George who? Oh that goofy old guy whose major starring role these days is in every other ad for coffee on all the streaming and terrestrial video services. In which he portrays a wealthy loser.
I am way too tired to watch tonight's shitshow. That's because I read Clooney's op ed and thought "this is really rather fact free. WHY was Biden so blasted?" So I have spent the last few hours figuring it out. It is WAY too long to post as a comment, but I hope you will click through and read my own report on my Substack. And maybe share it with your much wider readership.
That the NYT even considered printing - much less actually did print - an op-ed on the subject of Biden's campaign penned by globe-trotting poseur (sorry, I mean *actor*) Geroge Clooney... that actually says a whole lot more about the Time's judgement than Clooney's words say about him.
His shoulders are readily rubbed by the D elites because of his money, not his intellect or his ability to pull anyone other than Brahmin lefties into the party's circles. But because he squats on a hillside with a coffee picker to film a TV commercial, I suppose they figure he comes across as a *friend* of the working class and a man of the people, and that's all the cred needed to make his words as golden as his checkbook.
Please. Why give serious weight to the opinion of some moneyed rich guy about American politics when the dude can't even figure out what country he actually wants to live in? Oh yeah. I forgot. When it comes to rich guys' opinions, they're just like cash when it's given as a gift... always the right color, always the perfect fit.
George Clooney doesn't even
live in the US anymore. He
and his very wealthy wife live
in France and have a villa in
Italy I think, or Spain. She sits
on the International Criminal
Court. He bloviates.
As always TC, thanks for
keeping it real, interesting
and a great place where we
are free to speak and cuss.
His villa is on Lake Como.
Perhaps he should stay there, STFU, and just send money he gets for “acting.”
I knew when I subscribed to TAFM that I'd be getting lots of great quotes to share. Clearly, I underestimated.
Echoing Jack Cooper, thanks for keeping it real, and amusing as hell.

I simply love you! xx's
Get in line, Cecilia!~ ❤️ 😉
Thanks for keeping this real and us focused
I would comment, but lately I am just without words. I do appreciate your efforts and everyone's comments.
Well, there's one unlooked-for silver lining: a rich new vein of creative profanity.
Has any pundit or pooh-bah actually come up with an alternate Democratic ticket that could possibly win in November? Do they think that some white (accent on "white") knight is going to come riding in and take the convention by storm? I really don't understand what, or if, they're thinking.
They aren't thinking. That's a reaction and a dramatic rendition of something.
My current theory is that as far as they're concerned, a pundit's job is to come up with grand ideas. It's someone else's job to implement them.
Because most pundits are too fucking stupid to be able to carry out a plan - it's why they're pundits, one of those "jobs" for the otherwise-unemployables.
My thoughts have indeed been running along those lines. <g>
Maybe Prez will bring out his line again to Doocy…”My memory is so bad I let you speak.” 😂

Joe is smacking them out of the ballpark as I write this.
WHEE. I’m suffering from FactCheck Lag
Cheering you on. A worthier goal would be 30 minutes. You are up to it.
I’m mailing Clooney a Golden Petard special delivery, upon which I expect you to up with him hoist, by the ankles
Bet Joe never thought his most energetic opposition would be his dems
Glad you're watching this crap and not me, I look forward to your report.
