My expectation is that it will be on all the usual sources. CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. with in depth coverage on the talking head shows later tonight.

Edit Conference is running 20+ 50+ minutes late after already being pushed back 1 hour from 5:30 to 6:30.

Not sure if that’s good news or bad news.

Here we go! 58 minutes late, but he’s on a roll talking about NATO.

Oh, snap! Reminding everyone that Article 5 has only been used once… 9/11.

Speech ran less than 10 minutes, but was a strong speech, now the questions.

Fumbles on the first answer, calling out “Vice President Trump”. :(

Ended after almost an hour with one final question on “Vice President Trump” - Biden’s answer “Listen to him.” End conference.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it went!

      Okay sure I’ll cede that. For your part can you go back and read that I wrote, “closer to dementia-like”? Old age, dementia… Whether it truly was dementia or not skirts bottom-line that there is no good excuse for that. The problem is Trump is old but was far more coherent (and simply his usual pathologically-lying self).

        That looked closer to outright dementia, I’m sorry.

        ≠

        that I wrote, “closer to dementia-like”?

          I edited incorrectly. Regardless, changes absolutely nothing substantively. “looked closer to” versus “dementia-like”. Both imply the same notion.
