What if Joe doesn't run for a second term?

 The choices to replace him are pretty slim right now. If this is the best they can come up with, this'll be a whole different game in '24... 

Imagine the lies that will have to be spread to diminish 

her opponent and up-sell her 'accomplishments'.

Whether President Biden will seek reelection next year is one of the most discussed topics inside and outside the Beltway. Biden has said he plans to run for a second term, privately telling former President Obama and other Democrats of his intentions. 

The president’s allies (all three of them)  say he is still the only one who can defeat a challenger like former President Trump or Gov. Ron DeSantis, of Florida. But there are doubts he will follow through on his plans because of his age - Biden would be 81 in November 2024 - and the fact that he's nearly comatose, showing little or no sign of true brain function. 

 Biden’s approval ratings have sunk to the mid-30s in some polls. If Biden chooses not to run for reelection, who else would be in contention? 

Harris tops the list, as she would instantly be the leading contender to win the Democratic nomination for president if Biden decided to end his political career with one term. 

But Harris is not a sure bet to win the nomination. She has been smacked around by a shitload of negative headlines since she was propped up in the role of vice president and her poll numbers have been for shit. Combine that with the fact that she's a blithering idiot who can't answer a question without giggling, and her chances are just about nil. 

A Los Angeles Times (not exactly a bastion of conservative truisms) analysis of national polls this month showed Harris underwater with a 40 percent approval rating. “She has 'fallen short of expectations',” said one Democratic strategist, very tongue-in-cheek.

Would they seriously consider running Pete Buttigieg for President against anyone from the republican side?

 

The former mayor of South Bend, Ind., a virtual stranger to Democrats, managed to win the Iowa caucuses, defeating a field of better-known candidates. He then came close to winning the New Hampshire primary.

Buttigieg, an openly gay, 'married' man with adopted kids, has continued to make a name for himself, and not for good reason. Pretty much all he does is tour the country to tout Biden’s infrastructure projects and visiting key swing states including Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Ohio.

Democratic strategists say he would be well positioned for a 2024 run, but they also thought that back in 2020, and they ended up with Uncle Joe, ferfucksake. Still, even as a feckless and totally disfunctional Cabinet secretary, some still wonder if he has political chops to make the leap to the Oval Office.

If you were cool enough - and lucky enough - to get her to go to the diner with you for a coke and a snack after the dance, the choices you made on this machine might have been life and death decisions for you. If you're too young to know what one of these was - and how valuable it was when you ere dating, you missed something big...

OMG - this was a real thing? For what - for supplies for the 

friggin' bomb shelter your old man dug in the back yard?

prehistoric-looking bids...

So, the only ones left on the top of the Dems list to run (at least for now) are Elizabeth Warren, who's already said she has no interest in running, Crazy old Bernie, who's also said he won't but that doesn't mean shit coming from him, and maybe Amy Klobuchar, who really has no dog in the fight, but then again, who knows with these idiots?

People who drink coffee every day are less likely to die early 

than non-coffee drinkers, research suggests
 

Researchers looked at data on coffee habits and health from more than 171,000 residents of the UK, who didn't have cancer or heart disease at the start of the study, over a period of seven years. 

Previously, evidence has suggested coffee drinkers live longer — the researchers in China aimed to test whether that was true even when people add sugar to their daily brew. 

They found that people who regularly drank unsweetened coffee were 16-21% less likely to die during the study than their peers who didn't drink coffee. 

And study participants who drank between one and four cups of lightly sweetened coffee per day were 29-31% less likely to die during the study, according to the data.

The findings are supported by previous evidence that coffee is generally beneficial for longevity, no matter how you drink it. I prefer mine with a little Sambuca in it - how about you?
