Do you think Melania cut him off to gain his compliance?

I'm sure this doesn't add anything new, but I have to say what's on my mind, I just can't stop seeing it. The problem with Biden isn't gaffes, it isn't that he says weird things or uses archaic phrases, it isn't that he isn't able to express ideas clearly, and it isn't even that he gets lost in the middle of almost every sentence.

The problem with Biden is right there in front of our eyes-- just look at him. It's visceral. He looks tired, confused, and weak. He appears to be absolutely DRAINED of energy. Somebody give this guy some ƒucking uppers before letting him on camera. Make sure he gets a good night's sleep. Do SOMETHING. Nobody votes for a weak, old man with no energy. A facelift doesn't fix this.

It comes from all those years of sniffing women's hair. He's been inhaling the myriad of chemicals they put in it. The guy needs to down a shot of clarifying shampoo or something. Then he can go back to sniffing woman's hair by using it as a face mask. People will accept that.

I was listening to Michael Lewis talking about the Fifth Risk. This was an old interview but he finished by saying his worry is that now that we have Trump folks will think anybody can be President. Biden at this point is anybody. We need to do better.

He did a decent remote bit with Jimmy Fallon yesterday, much more lucid, and I felt better about him. Except at one point he said:

"I have five grandchildren. Every day we talk or we text. I’ve got family scattered around, like I suspect everybody does."

This morning it was noted that Joe Biden has seven grandchildren.

God help us, Biden is obviously slipping, but he'll be running against a President who just said this, "You can call it a germ, you can call it a flu, you can call it a virus, you know you can call it many different names. I'm not sure anybody even knows what it is." ... on March 27th

This is the cursed timeline. It all started when we went to bed with Al Gore being the President and woke up with Bush magically being the President instead.

It all fell apart when Lemmy Killmeister died.

A better starting point is with the first Reagan Administration, for that is when it became obvious the Democratic Party then set Party over Country. They haven't wavered since in their dedication to oligarchic leadership by a political class, one modeled on themselves -- they're not democratic any more.

This disgusts the man of liberty. I am sooo disgusted.

The Dem primary was an agony in eight fits. No confidence they'll have anything to do with the national interest if they get in, so guess who I have too much integrity to vote for.

They are not sending their best.

But, how will that will play out in the fall: if Biden is the actual nominee, the demand (here and elsewhere) for the POTUS to be a precise communicator will fall away. There will be Times editorials saying it's not really that important, I wager.

The Times will recruit Hillary, the Orange one will be re-elected, and Pence will be President. /my brain just vomited that out
