There's been small demonstrations against the Covid-19 restrictions. Some of them even brought assault rifles! What on earth did they expect to happen that would require a weapon buildt for war? )
Of cource Trump has expressed support …..

Instead of being a pespimist about this thread I wonder if Biden regrets saying his VP candidate will be a woman. Not that there's anything wrong about women, but perhaps he wishes he could name Andrew Cuoma. He's very much the man of the hour, isn't he?
I don’t think that Cuomo should and would run as „Vice“.
If the sexual allegations against Biden have any ground there could be a change about who‘s running against Trump in the end.

I hope that doesn't happen since it would hinder the Demcratic side a lot. And who would run against Trump if this happens -Bernie Sanders? But if Biden really has misbehaved towards women so badly he shouldn't be president it has to be done.
But then they would have to start the Democratic nomination process all over again, wouldn't they? Or if Biden has to resign from the election after the Democratic Convention as formally chosen him I Guess his VP candidate runs against Trump. If that happens it will look even worse if Biden picks a man as his running mate after promising to have a female VP candidate.
It's unlikely to happen, but in recent years the unlikely has turned out to be likely to happen.

Joe Biden is the perfect choice for an unelected, unaccountable bunch of bureaucrats who will pull his strings behind the scenes. The biggest problem, re: the election will be the debates. [Boxing analogy follows:] Biden's cut man will want to throw in the towel after Round One {[]

Oh, it was always going to be a woman. I'm sure he doesn't regret it either.

Speaking of Lewinsky: Years ago when that scandal was still in the news Clinton visited Norway. he worked the crowds as usual. He shook hands with some kindergarden kids …..or was he more interested in the kindergarden teacher? According to the press she looked like Monica Lewinsky and based on this she became a national celebrity )
Sorry, but I don‘t like those Monica Lewinsky jokes at all.
She was like 22 when it all happened.
She was betrayed by an older woman who she considered to be a friend.
Young women do stupid things and even without shitstorms on Social Media because those did not exist - she went thru hell and back - several times.
She has gotten stigmatized like almost no woman before, she was instantly unemployable ( just before some of you may chime in saying that she sold her story) and had to go thru this for decades.
Just imagine for a second that you or your daughter would go thru all this!
To me it‘s a miracle that she did not harm herself, in my opinion she deserves nothing but respect.

I agree. Monica Lewinsky was treated badly and deserves our respect.
I wasn't making fun of her, just Bill Clinton and the media frenzy around the scandal.
These women have always been stigmatised, Christine Keeler was also totally pilloried, I guess it's what happens when you take on the establishment, whether it's right or wrong.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

Even though Cuomo is very popular and shows real leadership now, I think it's smart by Biden to pick a female running mate. I also think his VP candidate will be significantly younger than him (this doesn't narrow the field a lot ) ) and from a state that could go either way on election day.

It's incredibly strange times, never thought I watch the news where the statement "global economic collapse" would be a headline.

No, he would always pick a woman over a man. That was my point.
