I despise Presidential elections. Nothing brings out the stupids quite like a presidential election. Stupid people become energized by their own dumbness. It’s a bit like a dog barking at itself in the mirror. The amount of inane gibberish I have to crawl through on a daily basis is soul-crushing. Everybody seems staggeringly uninformed about anything that pertains to anybody or anything outside their own front door. This is the part that scares the rest of the world the most. The rest of the world seems at least somewhat aware of their own history and where they fit in it. They seem willing to own up to past sins, and they can at least agree on the basic stuff. They can find other countries on a map. They agree on science and the efficacy of vaccines and that Nazis were bad. They can spell, or are at least aware that most social media platforms include a built in spell-check, free of charge. They can use “to, too” and “there, their, they’re” in a sentence without triggering every English teacher in North America.
I agree with everything you stated ..except...I think Joe Biden DOES remember when his son died. Biden is juggling so many things...and doing a great job despite all the obstruction....that it's easy to blank out now and then. I know a lot of 81-year-olds who are as sharp as ever, but what throws people off...and what appears to " age" Biden is his speech impediment coupled with the multitude of issues he is dealing with right now.
That being said...I really dread the upcoming months. How does trump manage to slither out of every situation!!??
I too agree with everything you said except like Carmella I know Joe Biden remembers when Beau died. I am scared to death that no matter what we do that buffoon Trump could get elected - not without chicanery though. Manafort is being called back into the fold fresh from prison and Bannon is sitting in his office pulling strings. It’s enough for this 77 year old to start looking for real estate in Ireland!!
