Jon Stewart returned to the air and split sides with a rant about undeniable truth that both Biden and Trump are exceedingly old and therefore both men share the same burden of proving their competence to the electorate. “What the f@ck are we doing?” was the gist of it.

No spring chicken, Stewart ought to know that the consequences of the two options being so radically different, it’s wrong to put them on the same decrepit plane.

So, yeah, D-minus out of the gate.

Age, in other words, is now beside the point. The two (presumptive) nominees are pulling in utterly different directions toward completely different visions of the future, and any schtick that occludes that fact, has to be called out for what it is.

Dangerous nonsense.

63/ Wait... 9 am??? That's 6 am my time.

Sorry, I can't live post at that hour. No way.

I'll try to catch you up, but I won't do this in my sleep.

You're on your own.

62/ Trumpy/Rudy/Schmucky lawyers are done.

Cross will start her questioning at 9am ET tomorrow. She's off the stand til then.

But more is going on. Cross will call about 3-4 witnesses.

So they're just doing housekeeping now. And I don't care.

I'm exhausted.

61/ Bower:

Willis says that maybe the dinners they had together amounted to more than $100. But she says she's probably never had more than $100 worth of food in her life.

Now Gillen is up for David Shafer. He asks about the trip she took Wade on to Belize for his birthday.
