They are not mutually exclusive.

LBJ redux. Now who gets to be HHH?

We’re fucked.

Now let’s see how the ballots work. My guess is, Republicans fight it in every state they can, whether they have grounds or not.

Good job, Democrats. Well played!

Again, for SIX YEARS, Trump, Russia, and the entire Republican Party have colluded in making Biden the perma-enemy.

(Give me 40 minutes and you’ll see me pivot to “Well, maybe.” At least the stupid focus on age is over. And while I’m not 81, I can see a possible reality that, sometime between (roughly) May and now, Biden began to realize retirement was not such a bad idea. That takes some transition, as you begin to accept the reality that you are, in fact, old; and you say “Fuck it.”

 I’m done.”

I’m not going back on what I said against Biden’s critics, but “complexity is the reality,” to modify AOC. And sooner or later, I find myself accepting reality.

The King is dead. Long live the Queen. That fine British phrase for: “Get on the damned bus!”)
