The democrat drum-beat is to release the tax records. You don't think they would change their tune for their own benefit, do you?

You don't think they could get away with demanding Trump's returns, but refusing to release Obama's?

I still think some R's should propose a law requiring disclosure of all financial records (not just tax returns) for federally elected officials and their immediate family.

You might get one or two to propose it but it would never go anywhere. Financial impropriety is bipartisan as hell.

Truth.

Once corruption achieves a majority the normal recourses become impotent.

Biden has delayed his VP pick announcement another week. He must be in last minute negotiations with Michelle.

I cannot recall - has anyone else in recent history taken this long to choose their VP? It sounds like he's taking long, but it might be normal.

Word around my part of the world is that he's looking for a woman, preferably one of color, from somewhere in flyover country. Demo think that may reduce Trumps numbers in that part of the country. Harris is pure West Coast. Ignoring middle America may hurt Biden.

If memory serves, McCain didn't announce that Palin was his running mate until the GOP convention.

Of course, the decision was probably made well before then.

Supposedly she was a potential pick until someone actually looked at what she said.

How far down the list is he?

Was there other news on this since Friday? I saw mention of that lady's name over the weekend.

There are just so many clips of Biden saying off the wall stuff, getting confused and seeming to be disconnected it's hard to ignore.

Does anyone else wonder just what having him as the nominee is supposed to accomplish?

It is just so bizarre that one of our two parties has chosen and continues to support somebody who doesn't even seem to be able to campaign.

What is worse is the country has acclimated to it and moved on, with some actually pledging support to him.

It was weird when Trump ran and then won. This is a whole level or two up the bizzarro scale.

He wasn't even a good candidate back when he had control of his faculties.

Our elites really do despise us.

I wonder if Trump and Biden are throw-away candidates. Someone, the powers that run things behind the scene, maybe, might know or suspect something big/bad is coming and they are using Trump/Biden as scapegoats. Your tinfoil hat may vary.

I think the Democrats are going through a little bit of what Republicans went through in 2012. They had a bunch of candidates that all had problems of one kind or another and ended up with effectively the weakest candidate. The question to me is will an outsider come in on the Democrat ticket in 2024?

I would believe other powers were running things if Jeb Bush had won. Not sure I buy that with Trump since was a complete outsider. I guess that speculation could go on endlessly.

He's apparently down to Rice or Harris.

The way I see it, if elected, he's supposed to resign or be removed for being incapacitated, thus the Veep assumes office, and she's supposed to resign leaving guess who as Prez?*

I would really prefer that the second place winner of the election be the vice-president. Checks. Balances. All them platitudes. Has its disadvantages, too, I suppose, but checks , balances, and all them platitudes.

Seems right now we need lota more checks and balances.

Mostly checks.
