LMAO:

Fox is coping well:

I am so glad this story is back post-debate/switch.

One of the greater headlines of this cycle. She's breaking him.

Sam fans still pretend this wasn't true, which cracks me up. It was so obviously the Jason/Brenda storyboards. The relationship was identical early on.

In another sign of good tidings, Kyle Rittenhouse of all people abandoned Trump the other night, only to swiftly take it back when facing MAGA wrath:

A moment of clarity with Karl, who clearly learned a hard lesson from 2012:

If Rasmussen has her up this much, same story.

@DRW50 Harry Enten's HaterWatch '24 continues: Nate Silver is coping with the new swing results: I know what DRW will say, but there is no way Trump is up that far in PA. This is Nate skewing himself. If Trafalgar has him down, it's bad.

That was my favorite moment, next to the stuff in the Oval with the families and seeing him and Harris together on the tarmac awaiting the hostages. "There's no way out!" I do think Joe remains very effective and competent in office, and Kamala would be wise to keep him close for counsel especially for international diplomacy in times that hopefully will come. In terms of campaigning, energy and momentum though I think the switch has been a total reset, in a good way. I think it's clear Joe is still very effective at one thing (governing) and perhaps less so at the other at present (campaigning). It does seem like there is a considerable weight off him now, though. Whether we can chalk that all up to media disdain or vibes, it's what has happened. I think it's shameful what happened and how it was done, but I can't pretend I'm not glad we are where we are this week. And I don't blame Joe for this but I frankly don't think Biden's team under him was doing enough to work the refs or change the narrative before the switch. The media was profoundly contemptuous of Joe, but at the same time his team had often been stuck in a defensive crouch and hoping for 'the right people to get it' for months if not years re: messaging on what he'd done. We were not going to win this election on loyal inertia alone, or at least I didn't want to bet on it. A lot of the same comms people came over to Harris but were (as reported) schooled on how to reapproach things, and so the tone, the energy and the aggression is different, because the mentality and deference to the old ways - which no longer work in Washington - is not the same. Speaking of, Republican-leaning Amy Walter (who continues to speculate/hope that Trump can win if this election is about 'the issues', like immigration) reluctantly tweeted this data:

I would again recommend people who can handle horror check out Jill's starring role in the found footage flick The Taking of Deborah Logan - she's incredible in it opposite the great Anne Ramsay as her daughter. It's on Prime, Tubi, etc.

Politico now wants in on the celebration with this piece (jump the paywall, as always):

Tess is indeed truly terrible. And not just the accent.

I'll admit the shot of Joe and Kamala approaching the plane on the tarmac in the night (in the previous post) gave me chills. The past, present and future all in one shot.

We don't have to offer up an explanation to every goofy-ass thing an actor does on this show. It's okay for something to just be silly or stupid. The actors are not our friends but they are not going to get fired just because we clown on them sometimes. They'll get fired because Wagger has no long-term place on this show.

Honestly it looked like he was going for (let's just say it) gay shock and panic.

I did a double-take at this too. Hysterical. If that baby isn't street pizza Imma be mad. This whole surrogacy story should never have happened.

So long as this story finally ends she can make it to the parking lot for all I care.

I agree with this. Kamala was within 2 points of Trump in PA in a GOP internal poll in the first days of the switch, and Politico is trying to give them the sunny side of life. And now, in news to no one:

I never had much to do with the main site or forums in my time writing there, but Dan was always good to me. I hope he got a good deal; it sounds like it.
