Will Biden drop out? Who replaces him?

As long as we are off on a tangent.
A lot of vodka, particularly the celebrity labels, are just commercial grade ethanol (natural spirts). ADM makes a lot that is sold to little bottlers that is diluted and aged in oak barrels.

Ask me about the history of bourbon.
 

Not just that, but a nigger bitch. Probably fairly soon, as the Republican Party has finally arrived at its destination, begun under Nixon, accelerated under Reagan and hitting warp drive under Trump, as the MAGGOT Party. Apologies to actual maggots.
 
And remember, this party began as the party of Lincoln. Sigh.
I think it's a politically expediant response to Lyndon Johnson crowing "We'll have the nigger vote for a hundred years!"
Tom
Well people are saying he said that.

But... maybe not. That said, President Johnson wasn't remotely a saint. Kind of the Wallace Beery of US Presidents.

Now how about this real President Johnson quote after signing the legislation. "We’ve lost the south for a generation."

He had underestimated that length of time. Oh wait... that isn't quite right either.

According to Bill Moyers, he actually said: "Well, I think we may have lost the south for your lifetime – and mine."

There we go. Obviously for his lifetime, not that big of a deal, but for Moyers, it was accurate. Now as long as Moyers hasn't pulled a Mike Barnacle or a Brian Williams, now we know... well, at least that much.
 
In case anyone is wondering why Barack Obama has been so quiet about Kamala lately, there's this:

Obama doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can beat Trump, which is why he hasn’t endorsed her: sources

Former president Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.

Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception.

“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.

“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”

Yes, its the NY Post, so take it for what its worth...

well, not endorsing her certainly won’t help. Does he think someone else is going to come along and get the nomination?

She’ll get the Obama bump in due time.

Yeah, the smart move is to endorse her after the current media frenzy has faded.

At some point in the next three months, Trump will be getting more attention than Harris, for whatever reasons; Or Harris will be getting negative attention, over some trivial thing or other. That's the perfect time for President Obama to make a stirring speech endorsing Harris, and pushing a positive story onto the front pages, in place of whatever it is that is at that point helping the Trump campaign.

An endorsement today would just get lost in the noise.
 
They're basically a gas station that also sells vodka.
Most of the Vodka sold around here is made in France. They put Russian sounding names on the label, but it wasn't Russian made, even before sanctions were imposed.
According to babs Russian vodka is so bad even Russians won’t drink it any more.

Of course I don’t believe him - I think they drink it.

I have recently seen a few video tours of Russian Grocery stores. with entire aisles devoted to bottles of Vodka. Yeah, they drink the stuff! And sell a LOT of it.
No. it's just standing there. most of the people drink beer nowadays.
 
I gotta hand it to the Dems. They did a damn good job transitioning from Biden to Harris. It shows Biden didn't just pick a Black woman four years ago. He picked a VP who could do what a VP should, step in quickly and confidently when needed. No it's not an actual transition of power. Though I would say stepping into a campaign late in the game is nothing to sneeze at. It is akin to a transition of power during a crisis. I say this because Donald Trump is a crisis. Harris has the delegates, cash, and endorsements. I suspect they are throttling all three as best they can to keep the energy level up as long as possible.
And I hope Harris takes a page out of the Republican playbook and owns any negative (that aren't lies) they might throw at her. It looks like this is what she is doing with her laugh. I have to admit, I thought it a negative she should avoid. Now that she has explained it, it doesn't sound so bad. I hope she embraces it and on November 5th it is the last laugh.
 
Definitely need to state that this is early. Sarah Palin was a remarkably sound choice for a week too! While Harris gets the "fast" track to the General Election, everyone is looking at the brand new car, no one is kicking the tires yet. Yes, the transition was very smooth and deliberate. But we are about to move from transition to race. With about 45% of the electorate set for each candidate, leaving the last 10% unknown.

You sound worried about tires falling off when they're kicked.
I'm not. Of course it depends somewhat on "strategists" and "handlers" but it should be mind-numbingly simple.
She has a decent speaking voice. A bit annoyingly nasal, but she can make her words understood, unlike Sleepy Joe, and is capable of inflection and emphasis, which Sleepy Joe is not. She also has a prosecutor's mean streak, which Joe does not. But really, she shouldn't need that.

All she really has to do is tell the truth. Over and over again. Clearly, with emphasis.
The truth about the economy, which is absolutely cranking by most all measures vs Trump's economy which he inherited from Obama and ran into the ground..
The truth about illegal immigration, which was at a 50 year low before Cheato showed up, and which Cheato refused to allow to be fixed.
The truth about the violent crime rate, which is currently at a 40 year low.
The truth that inflation is now within the Fed's target range.
And myriad other truths. Facts of the sort that Reagan referred to as "stubborn things".
No need to indulge in back and forth petty insults (though there's a lot of low hanging fruit there too).
"Just the facts, ma'am" will do the trick.

I'm saying this is the easier courtship portion of the race for Harris. The press will start being not as kind shortly. It isn't going to remain this easy and this pretty for much longer.

What she needs to do is emphasize with people, that she understands that GDP numbers and unemployment numbers doesn't put food on the table, and that her goal is to expand the benefits of the good economy more broadly.

Oh and women's right to reproductive health care choices.

Back in the 80s, when the Soviet Union was still a thing, my cousin worked on fishing boats in the Bering Sea. He said they always kept some cases of vodka on board in case they needed to trade with Russian boats. Because Russians couldn't get vodka up there.

Yes, its the NY Post, so take it for what its worth...
"the border czar who never visited the border"

Things that wouldn't come out of the mouth of a Biden? *ding*

The Democrats have a history of being cat herders and having difficulties with messaging, This whole swap from Biden to Harris has been done exquisitely! Every step, every person coming out, the timing, the weighting of the message. It has been very deliberate. Obama's voice carries far and you wait to use that at the right time. Harris is doing just fine, the money spigots are back on, so there is no hesitancy across the party, which is pretty uncommon. So the Obama voice is put on hold for use at the right time.
