And - Biden's team says he won't have events after 8 pm. Getting him to election day without more "bad days" will be a quite struggle.
In the very near future I assume after around 6ish pm he's done for the day. And as the days continue the sunset comes earlier and earlier - so will appearances after late afternoon. In October if he's still the candidate - I bet he'll never have any activity of any kind even in private with donors after ~3 pm. Recording devices can be everywhere. And it takes just one recording of a "bad day" Biden for it to be like Romney's "47% shiftless freeloaders" secretly recorded clip.
Never interrupt your enemy when his brains are leaking out of his ears.
A Bluesky thread
Amazing the Olivia Nuzzi story can’t get a single person to go on the record, and the strongest evidence against Biden’s mental health is he didn’t remember her name.

Emphasis mine.
Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names. At a White House event last year, a guest recalled, with horror, realizing that the president would not be able to stay for the reception because, it was clear, he would not be able to make it through the reception.
The guest wasn't sure they could vote for Biden, since the guest was now open to an idea that they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: The president may not really be the acting president after all. Others told me the president was becoming increasingly hard to get ahold of, even as it related to official government business, the type of things any U.S. president would communicate about on a regular basis with high-level officials across the world.

In 1999, Ginsburg was diagnosed with colon cancer, the first of her five bouts with cancer. [...] By February 2020, the cancer had returned but this news was not released to the public. However, by May 2020, Ginsburg was once again receiving treatment for a recurrence of cancer. She reiterated her position that she "would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam", adding that she remained fully able to do so.
She died four months later on September 18.
If the title was "events after sundown" - it would be a straight up Onion headline. Man, we are fucked.

Synagogue hosted Israel real estate event
The protest stemmed from an Israel real estate event on Sunday at the Adas Torah synagogue, according to the synagogue’s security director and social media posts from organizers.
The event at the synagogue was organized by My Israel Home, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and West Bank settlements and was advertising on social media. CNN has reached out to My Israel Home for comment.
Rant. A fucking Newsweek article didn't give a link to the poll. I had to google. God, do I hate that.
Here's a look at Trump's Vice President shortlist | AP News
Doug Burgum. Trump likes rich people. North Dakota’s two-term governor is most definitely rich. Before his time as governor, Burgum led a software company that was acquired by Microsoft for more than $1 billion. He also has worked in real estate development and venture capital and spent millions on his own White House bid.
Ben Carson. Relationships and trust matter to Trump. Carson, who served as secretary of housing and urban development during Trump’s administration, has developed a strong bond with the former president over the years, despite a contentious start as 2016 rivals.
Byron Donalds. The Florida congressman has become one of Trump’s most prominent conservative Black supporters and a reliable surrogate on television and at events.
Marco Rubio. If picking Vance would excite Trump’s base, choosing the Florida senator might expand the ticket’s appeal, particularly among deep-pocketed donors and more establishment-minded and moderate Republicans turned off by Trump’s rhetoric and extremism.
Tim Scott. The only Black Republican in the Senate, the South Carolinian would bring racial and stylistic diversity to the GOP ticket as well as a preacher’s touch. The self-described “born-again believer” often quotes Scripture in political speeches that often reach a crescendo of call-and-response.
Elise Stefanik. The only woman on his shortlist, the New York congresswoman could help Trump win over skeptical college-educated and suburban women who sided with Biden in 2020.
JD Vance. Swept to national prominence by his bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance has held office for less than two years. But during his short time in the Senate, the former venture capitalist from Ohio has established himself as one of the fiercest defenders of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda, especially when it comes to foreign policy, trade and immigration.
This poll is wild. Head to head Biden wins under 35s by less than three points. He is up 15 points with 65+. A bunch of the other cross-tabs look basically plausible.
Biden is +5 in the suburbs (+19 with suburban women), +27 with “moderates” (self-ID), and wins 40% of rural whites. If you assume that under-35s are basically impossible to accurately poll in this era the guts of this thing spell an absolute collapse for Trump.
