If only Americans could see what the rest of the world sees

what's the expression, can't see the forest because your head's stuck up your own ass?

Biden wears Trump hat as 9/11 unity gesture, says White House

The US president borrows the trademark Republican cap after joking with fire fighters.

Not so much the foolishness of wearing that cap, but just his general ability to move and talk to people! Not a good look!

Reading the article I see nothing wrong with what Biden did.

He actually tried to treat Trumpers like normal people. Taking the high road.

I probably would have punched them in the face

The majority of Taylor Swift's fanbase is about 11 years old, so I doubt her endorsement is going to change a whole lot.

I know others have already responded, but I think it's apt to quote the source:

She absolutely dominated that debate. Trump looks geriatric. It was obvious she would win the debates.

It's all over for Trump now. The polls will continue to shift for Harris, and will lose by an even bigger margin.

I appreciate your optimism but American politics are more WTF than watching Everton

I think there is a very small sliver of persiadable likely voters but Trump really messed up an opportunity to turn them off to Harris.

I think there are probably quite a lot of Republican voters in his 45% who could be pulled away.

She has 285 million twitter followers. You can't join as an 11 year old. It.is a hugely significant moment.

100% this.
Fair play to Biden.
A stranger asks the POTUS if he can remember his name?!
Biden just brushes it off and shows millions of people he's a good person.
I'd never have that level of restraint

I thought he came across quite well , like a decent human being which obviously contrasts to his former opponent. Unfortunately I’d imagine they’ll clip and crop the photo and use it to rubbish Biden as simple when in reality I thought that was quite a ‘wholesome’ exchange.

From Karl Rove, George W Bush's "architect", in today's Wall Street Journal:

Interesting the 'Old Guard' have chosen now to pipe up, with Cheney and now Rove.

Maybe the start of the GOP starting to return to a degree of normality

Next you'll see prominent republi-preachers like Robert Jeffress saying things like, "Maybe it was wrong to support a candidate who claims being a serial rapist*, but everyone makes mistakes."


*we can quibble over whether it's only sexual assault

Could they split if Trump loses? Ie an extreme maga party and a traditional GOP?

Here’s the full clip of his interaction with the guy whose hat he was wearing. I don’t see a problem with this, and good to see both sides having fun with it and acting civil.
