Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate: 'It's a mess'
  • His performance was poor enough that I'd argue he not only should step down as the candidate, he should step down as President and let Harris run the show for the rest of the year.

  • USA Today: Biden has no business running for president. The debate proved it.
  • I look for someone who can lead without needing home healthcare.

  • USA Today: Biden has no business running for president. The debate proved it.
  • Trump's lies were irrelevant. Everyone knows he lies, that's nothing new.

    Biden came across as feeble. Weak. Incoherent. He needed to show he was the opposite of that and he completely and utterly failed to do so.

    The only way it could have been worse would have been if Trump had a single ounce of awareness or human compassion and gone "Before we go any further... Joe, are you OK? I mean, I want to win the debate, but not like this. Can someone bring him some water or something?"

  • USA Today: Biden has no business running for president. The debate proved it.
  • As I said in the megathread yesterday, Trump is the personification of /r/confidentlywrong but in a debate, confidence carries the day and Biden corrected himself as often as he tried to correct Trump.

    See the video clip above.

    Trump lied through his teeth, the whole debate, and Biden couldn't put together enough coherent words to counter it. It was an utter disaster for Biden.

  • USA Today: Biden has no business running for president. The debate proved it.
  • Biden couldn't keep a coherent thought and kept making easy mis-statements.

    For Trump, all he had to do was say "I don't have the time to de-bunk every lie he just told, I'll leave that to you guys, but here's what I will say..."

    Instead, we got this:

    Multnomah County will pause purchasing of tarps and tents

    "The decision, first reported by KGW, comes as Portland officials vote on an agreement with Multnomah County on their partnership to reduce homelessness. Portland Commissioner Rene Gonzalez, who is running for mayor, has blasted the county for its policy on tarps and tents, arguing that their distribution harms the city’s “livability and the ability for small businesses to thrive.”"

    First Presidential Debate Megapost!

    Here we go, the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump begins at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific.

    How to watch it:

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/how-to-watch-cnn-debate/index.html

    "The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.

    You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."

    "According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

    Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."

    Edit And that's it! Thanks for watching everyone!

    tl;dw:

    Consensus is Trump didn't so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.

    The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.

    www.oregonlive.com Portland will begin enforcing new homeless camping ban Monday

    The city will narrowly focus enforcement at first on homeless camps that it believes present the greatest health and safety risks.

    Portland will begin enforcing new homeless camping ban Monday

    "The new rules require people who are offered shelter to accept it or face penalties, and it directs homeless individuals that they must keep their camping area tidy if they can’t access shelter. The ordinance scales back the potential of a 30-day stint behind bars for violators to just seven days and emphasizes a preference to offer offenders diversion."

    News Release: PBOT hires new officers, increases parking enforcement in neighborhoods

    "Officers will focus primarily on expired tags, missing plates, wrong-way parking, and vehicles blocking visibility at intersections. Additionally, officers will begin booting vehicles that have orders to tow issued by Multnomah County Circuit Court."

    Also:

    "Recent data from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) shows an alarming number of Portland vehicle owners have let their registration lapse. A couple years ago this may have been exacerbated due to the pandemic, DMV delays, or the economy, but these factors are much less impactful today."
