Biden's latest attempt to convince everyone he has what it takes to stay in the race will air at 6:30 PM Eastern / 3:30 PM Pacific.

More on where and how to watch here:

https://apnews.com/article/how-to-watch-biden-press-conference-a70590e7574fc9680229b6b6289f6a02

My expectation is that it will be on all the usual sources. CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. with in depth coverage on the talking head shows later tonight.

Edit Conference is running ~~20+~~ 50+ minutes late after already being pushed back 1 hour from 5:30 to 6:30.

Not sure if that's good news or bad news.

Here we go! 58 minutes late, but he's on a roll talking about NATO.

Oh, snap! Reminding everyone that Article 5 has only been used once... 9/11.

Speech ran less than 10 minutes, but was a strong speech, now the questions.

Fumbles on the first answer, calling out "Vice President Trump". :(

Ended after almost an hour with one final question on "Vice President Trump" - Biden's answer "Listen to him." End conference.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it went!

Friendly reminder that WWE once ran a wrestling match, trump vs rosie o donnell. They were impersonators, but still. They actually promoted that match on their flagship show.

They also ran a long storyline leading to their version of the superbowl (wrestlemania), where trump picks a guy, and the owner of the wwe (at the time) picks a guy, and whoevers guy loses, they shave the head of the one who bet on him. It's a predetermined show, so the owner of the wwe got his head shaved. Whats funny is, the guy they picked for trump was a big black guy. The big black guy wins, the owner of the wwe gets his head shaved, and then shows up a few days later on a secondary show wearing a durag, passes Booker T (a different black guy) in the hallway, and proceeds to say "What's up, my --------???"

The word I'm censoring is a derogitory term, that's very racist, and it was just said by the white owner of the wwe to his black employee. On TV. On purpose. As written in the script. The same script that the owner of the wwe wrote himself. Nobody forced him to do this. This was his own idea, and done because he thought it was good tv.

Anyways, Vince McMahon is now being taken to court by the government AGAIN (happened in 1993 for completely different reasons). This time it's because he's had a 20+ year history of human trafficing women, who were his employees.

......I really don't even remember what the point is anymore, other than you reminding me what a piece of shit Vince McMahon is. He's always been a piece of shit, and the wwe will always be tainted for me now.

I always assumed the whole "Vince McMahon owns the WWE" was a bit because I only ever knew him as the ring announcer.

I was like "Wait... THAT Vince McMahon?"

Turned out, the ring announcer thing was the bit.
