Hi Joe, Don't tell us; tell the White House. I posted the phone number. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Oh, come on; you jumped at Sheridan. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, The phone number for the White House is: 202-456-1111 You can only reach them 11 AM - 3 PM east coast time, Tue thru Thurs. I just left them a message. You can, too. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I disagree. There can be a LOT of inquiry into a Presidents motive. A few months ago, in SE Oregon, a US Forest Service employee did a preventive burn in an effort to reduce the possibility of a future wild fire. His preventative burn got away & created a wild fire. A local DA had him arrested on charges [ details I do not remember ]. After some court efforts, the fed was released. What he was doing was within his Official Duties. That is how it will work. Jerry Baumchen PS) I can always sue you; what will happen I cannot control.

Hi folks, This decision, based upon what I know about from news sources today, does not surprise me. In fact, I would have been surprised with any other verdict; especially from this court. This no different than the 'immunity' I had while working as a civilian employee of the federal gov't for 30 yrs. As long as I did what I was directed to do by my supervisory chain or it was something in my Position Description; I was immune. It will all now come down to what are Official Acts. The devil is in the details. Jerry Baumchen PS) de Tocquevillle said, all decisions in America will ultimately be decided in the courts.

Hi folks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg took Senility 101 and failed the course. Joe Biden is taking it now & his grades are not looking so good. Maher shared that his own choice would be California govern Newsom, because 'people are attracted to what looks like strength, much more than specific policies. Anti-Biden liberal Bill Maher makes hilarious dig at Joe Biden (msn.com) The Biden Team should know that this is not going to end until he loses in Nov. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, IMO it is the only way Biden can win in Nov. Hope in one hand, shit in the other. Wait 5 minutes & see what you got. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Folks, this is the truth. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, I've been wondering when [ or if ] you would join this discussion. Two questions for you: 1. Did Trump gain or lose votes due to his debate performance? 2. Did Biden gain or lose votes due to his debate performance? Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: He'll have better debates than this He will only get worse. It is Mother Nature doing her thing. Oh, and just when will these [ multiple ] debates occur?

Hi Joe, I just read this: Hold two forums for candidates who meet a threshold, do a straw poll and the delegates pick,” Rybak wrote. He is: Former Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak, a former Democratic National Committee vice chair Biden speculation swirls as White House, allies fight off calls to drop out (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, I was thinking about something similar earlier today. If Trump wins & gets the Senate, kiss it all goodby. This is why this election is so important. Jerry Baumchen

Hi tk, In the DNC rule book, I think that is in Section 37.b.6. And, she will not get on the ticket if they want to defeat Trump. I would think that somewhere in the DNC rulebook, there is what to do when the s*** hits the fan. Probably under The Nuclear Option. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Pelosi on debate: ‘It was a bad night. It was a great presidency.’ Nancy Pelosi doubles down on support for Joe Biden after debate (thehill.com) Notice the tense she uses; It was a great presidency. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John Some time back, tk hayes said he would bet $500 [ I think that was the amount ] that Biden would beat Trump in Nov. See Post #55 above. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, Please excuse me for taking so long to respond. As I see it, people simply do not know who Wes Moore is. IMO, it is too late in the game for someone who is not a national figure. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, That carnival barker only wants that last $5 you have in your wallet. Trump is far, far more dangerous. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, IMO she is one member of the Democratic Party that cannot beat Trump. Not a snowball's chance in hell. Forget all the niceties; focus on who can beat Trump in Nov. The job of POTUS is the most important job in the world. Does this nation [ and the world ] want to Trump to get it again? Jerry Baumchen PS) One more paper taking a stand: Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial board calls for Biden to exit presidential race (thehill.com) It is NOT going to go away.

Hi tk, Thank You. When Joe Biden starting speaking at the debate, it took me about 1-2 minutes to conclude that he was toast. Oh, and that cold he had; interestingly how it suddenly cleared up on Friday in Charlotte. Jerry Baumchen PS) OK, who's up next? PPS) Looks like he might become the Grand Old Man of the DNC: Jamie Raskin: DNC needs Biden to play vital role at convention (thehill.com)

Hi Joe, Just pay no attention to her; she will get the message. Or, which is the thing that will probably happen, is that no one in the DNC will listen to her. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, As I have posted before: She could not win an election for turd catcher. Her days in the limelight are over. Maybe she can get appointed Water Commissioner somewhere. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, This is no surprise to me: Biden meets family at Camp David as calls to exit the race grow (msn.com) My son gives Biden until next weekend. I'm thinking before the 4th. It's too bad as I really like Joe as a person. Even a favorite pet has to be put down eventually. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, The DNC powers that be need to look Harris in the eye & tell her that this is what is going to happen. No further discussion. Same goes for any pledged delegates. No brokered convention, just tell people this is how it is going to be. Some would consider it a coup. Those people need to make a decision regarding if they want Trump in the WH or not. It is called taking charge of a problem & solving it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, As I have mentioned before, dump the primaries, circle the wagons & select the team that can beat Trump. And, as I have mentioned before, my choice is Gavin Newsom for Pres & Gretchen Whitmer for V-P. Kamala Harris could not win in a vote for turd catcher. Jerry Baumchen PS) You're the guy who has consistently said that it is time for the Dems to quit being the good guys & go for the throat; or something to that effect. I agree.

Hi folks, Yesterday, I spent a lot of time trying to send a message to the White House. I could not get past this: No matter what I did, the window 'select an item' would not work. Maybe they do not want to hear from us. I would not be surprised. Jerry Baumchen PS) I was able to send a message to V-P Harris.
