[‘That son of a bitch’: New Woodward book reveals candid behind-the-scenes conversations of Biden, Trump, Harris and Putin](https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/08/politics/bob-woodward-book-war-joe-biden-putin-netanyahu-trump) — This whole piece is such a read!

> Biden said he “should never have picked” Attorney General Merrick Garland during a conversation over his son’s legal troubles.

I feel so vindicated that Biden feels the same now. I called this out first day of his presidency that Garland was his absolute worst pick and stand by it!

> “You know the perception of Israel around the world increasingly is that you’re a rogue state, a rogue actor,” Biden said to Netanyahu.

Say is publicly and call this terrorist out, Biden! You got nothing to lose now. Drag his pathetic ass to the curb.

> “Mr. Minister,” Austin said, according to Woodward, “I am the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I don’t make threats.”

I guess Austin is a big fan of Michael Bay movies?!

And lastly, this alone should earn Harris the vote!

> The vice president laughed. “That might be the only reason that he still really is comfortable with me to a point,” Harris said, according to Woodward, “because he knows that I’m the only person around who knows how to properly pronounce the word motherfucker.”

I wanna read this book, absolutely!

I still find it hard to believe that in 2008 Obama won Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and Florida, the 4 states that we give near zero chance of ever flipping blue again, especially Iowa and Indiana.

Politically these hurricanes couldn’t have come at a worse time for Harris/Biden and democrats could they? It’s almost like the entire universe is conspiring with Trump to bring him back to White House. You can do as much good as you want, but this is just a political goldmine for a douche like Trump to exploit.

Earth really needs to speed up its process to get rid of humans. Going too slow is my only complaint.

As a hiring manager with a req, my role has literally 100s of applicants in a week. You know the ones that actually moved ahead in the queue and I did NOT even read the resume? The ones I just asked the HR to advance them by giving them a name? **Referrals**.

One of Jeff Bezos’s famous words were on [data vs anecdotes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub585Pn4yro):

> when data and anecdotes disagree, the anecdotes are usually right.

Probably one of my favorite Bezos sayings that I do apply to everything a lot.

Been on 16 Pro max for a few days now and frankly I don’t see any difference from 13 or 14 versions of the same phone except it’s lighter. This was a completely skippable upgrade if we didnt already have plans for the 13.

Oh fucking hell the clouds are back again. I want a fucking drought. I am done with rain. I could not care less if every fucking tree dried out and DC area became a desert at this point, but please please please stop the fucking rain!

For once I want a democratic candidate to stop saying *America’s best days are ahead of us!*. No they are not. Not by a million miles. This is a society in rapid decline. And it’s going to take decades for America to just become… a normal society. America’s best days have gone by and it would be nice if they actually acknowledged it. I know they can’t coz hope-shope and positivity and all, but come on pretty much everyone knows this at this point. FWIW, I think America peaked at Clinton.

OMG The sun is out and my eyes are hurting coz I haven’t seen the sun in weeks!! Welcome back mood booster. I am nicely perched on the deck rest of the day soaking it in!
