      It’s almost as if the senile old man was a better choice than the convicted felon narcissist traitor. Nobody could have known.

            This is a stray thought but I don’t know why “douche” became a universal insult. I mean, every woman I know says “douchebag” occasionally so it’s only part misogyny. But no one is in favor of filthy mysterious lady parts. Personally, I don’t want any mysterious holes to be filthy. I hope nutria rats have clean hovels.

            Whomsoever does PR and lobbying for Big Douche is really fucking it up. If anything, hygiene products should be neutral or positive terms. But those douches can’t even get that right. Even Big Hose has better PR.

                    My friend has 5 and he basically has to buy a church bus when he needs a new vehicle. Another friend has 4 boys and he just works and coaches. When he invites me over, I always say yes and cancel anything on my schedule because it’s the first 3 hours he’s had to himself all year.

          And not wake up to at least three on-the-verge international incidents or and/or breaking scandals

        There’s an inertia to geriatrics that start to wax and wane.

        Biden did one thing his entire life, and he had an intact army of bureaucrats to hold him up.

        I do think this old man is also waxing and waning, and that Trump too is following the inertia of his base tendencies which is why he is more erratic and stubborn now. And Trump doesn’t have friends or real family he has sycophants.

            That poster meant that Biden was a politician for his whole life, and built up a competent political apparatus that could keep his agenda going even while he took an extra nap now and then.

            I didn’t state the context strongly enough with “his entire life”, allow me to expand on that. Biden is a career politician. Washington is his life. He’s more or less had one job within different roles, involving politics and navigating Washington.

            As such, the inertia of all of that action, at his jobs held in Washington across the span of decades kept him on track as he waxes and wanes mentally. It’s why some people were probably quite honest when they said they didn’t see a problem in their conversations with him. That’s how waxing and waning works while in a familiar environment.

            Screen slide to Trump. What is his inertia as he waxes and wanes outside of his home.

            Geriatrics who are fraying around the edges also do worse when not at home.

            Biden, arguably, was at home in Washington having spent 52 years of his life there. Is Trump? This is what, year 5, total? And didn’t he spend half of the last 4 at Maralago?

        He wasn’t entirely fresh any more but more or less knew what he was doing. And he wasn’t actively trying to destroy the country at the behest of a hostile foreign power. But yeah, gas was more expensive.
