“By 3 p.m. on Saturday, roughly three hours before the shooting, Crooks was at the security screening area for the rally. He first aroused suspicion when he passed through the magnetometers carrying a rangefinder, which looks similar to a small pair of binoculars and is used by hunters and target shooters to measure distances when setting up a long-range shot, according to a senior law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.”

Another example of how gun nuts of full of crap. No one with gun components should be allowed to these spaces, but the gun lobby wants it, gets it, then complains about it.

To say that I'm livid doesn't begin to describe my emotional state right now.

Exactly! I think there are around 106 days to the election.
I wonder if they're going to roll out the new ticket when he speaks to the nation?
There is no choice but to vote for the Democratic ticket in November but good grief!

You shouldn't be. He made the right decision even if too late. I'd estimate Democrats chances in November increased from ca 20% to maybe 40%. There was no way back from that debate...

There should be an open convention now. Just appointing Harris is not the right way either.

I don't think Harris will be the nominee. I'd love to be wrong. The people who were behind pushing President Biden out have no track record of any kind.
I thought that Biden would run, win, and step down to let Harris take over and it seems to me the people behind this push felt the same way and wanted to keep that from happening.

Let's be honest with ourselves now that he he's officially out. Biden was well past his prime and not really capable of the job for another 4 years. Of course Trump might win anyway, but at least there is a hope now.
As for Harris she needs to earn that position herself with voters, not be given it on a silver platter.

She is not popular.
The dems have to find the right balance and, as you say, Harris for president per se is not the right thing to do.
About Joe Biden.
Let him go down as one hell of a president. And the fact that he is stepping down proves, ironically, that he still has enough mental acumen to do what is right. Just not for the nest 4 years.
Gretchen Whitmer. If I were an american.

No, she's not popular. But she's also not him, either. For a lot of people, that's all they need--a viable alternative who isn't mistakenly claiming to have killed Medicare.
