Robert Reich has a great description of the times we're in and how history is repeating itself: https://youtu.be/Nmq7QqqY4vo

Trump looks very aged

We're all watching this story closely as it unfolds. I encourage you to listen to the macro side of these decisions. A good podcast episode is: https://pca.st/episode/750eb48b-abda-4b5b-9e55-78137234c1c0 Essentially, the choices they make and when they make them, will affect the standing of the dollar, and will affect the efficacy of Trump's presidency.

This might have an interesting side effect. Western voices and opinions being shared enmasse with Chinese youths on platforms they're comfortable with. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese government responds to this

Maybe if more terminally ill were committing the crimes, insurance companies would be less likely to turn away patients, and a lifetime sentence wouldn't be so bad.

Also, jurors have power too.

Please describe how he has been a lame duck president. Given he represents a party that is outnumbered in the Senate. And let's table the Israeli/Palestine conflict since this forum of discussion doesn't really work well for full history and geopolitical strategy history lessons.

They can not put you in collections (thank you, Biden). You can lose coverage, and have an opportunity to enroll in the same coverage on the next election cycle.

Because not enough people vote for a party fighting for people's healthcare.

Spot on. For once (not really, but this doesn't happen as often as it needs to) the Democrats are outsmarting their opponents. Let's make this the norm. All of us working together towards a common sense future.

You guys realize that Biden waited until after the RNC to announce this right? He's making this as hard as possible for them to pivot. You had hundreds of people in the same city, building strategies for their campaign. He had made sure that Kamala would have the delegates secured to ensure there would be no in-fighting for the next candidate. They did little to stop the media in going down the rabbit hole of the all-consuming news that he should drop out. They used it for their advantage to create a positive whirl wind around Kamala. Truly brilliant.
