I sense a sadness Barry. You and I know that Western civilization peaked when Nixon was shown the door. We had a shot. Then, contrary to every living instinct, we believed Reagan when he said the key to prosperity was to cripple the unions and shield those who gave us a hint of what was to come with S&L and leveraged buyouts. The hucksters seized the stage and later enriched themselves while wiping out pension funds, and only now we're getting as an orange haired ringmaster snaps his whip at us and reminds those of us who still think we're lions that we gave up that right long ago. So yeah, sad.
Only half right about Biden: he never acknowledged he wasn’t up to doing the job for another four years. He simply was persuaded he had lost too much support and wasn’t going to win. Otherwise, spot on.
The other day I was in a museum in Porto, Portugal that showed how the church and wealthy patrons provided medical and "social" services to the needy in the 18th and 19th century. Prominently displayed was a straitjacket. One wonders why the men in the white coats didn't rush onstage and wrap the fat fuck up on the spot. Is that so unreasonable?

What is this from? It’s very good
Me. Just continuing in your voice. LOL.

Republicans always try to remind us we’re lions. It’s all they got. Great take.

Thank goodness they’re running that crazy old man on their ticket. A president Nikki Haley would have sucked.
But we wouldn’t be talking about whether we’d have a 2028 election. Though I hear you

"No shit?"
I can’t, for the life of me, understand it.
