Laugh 'cause it's funny, cry 'cause it's true...
"It’s not too harsh a judgment to say that this is a man who has risen to the top of American public life without a trace of accomplishment. When you’ve been in national politics for almost 50 years, you ought to have achieved something, if only by accident. But this journeyman politician, when he wasn’t getting almost all the big issues wrong, was largely a bystander. He is now a husk of a leader, a dangerously debilitated figure, who oscillates between displays of vacuous incoherence and weird, angry outbursts, like a confused old man at the wrong bus stop.
Meanwhile, a heartbeat and a spine-chilling cackle away from the presidency, is another living rebuke to the idea that government is virtuous and wise. Vice President Kamala Harris has demonstrated, evidently to the alarm of much of her own staff, that she is simply another of Mr. Biden’s many mistakes—perhaps the biggest one yet. It is a dismaying state of affairs that we must all pray nightly for the continued health of an inept president to avert the calamity of a worse one."

All true and all pointed out here already on this board, but Mr Baker can turn a phrase.

Very true.
Sad thing is, we don't really know who is running the country. Love 'em or hate 'em, we knew who was running the country with Trump, Obama, etc. This time we elected a final year Wilson/Reagan...and expected them to govern for 4 years. Insanity. At least Wilson and Reagan had generally competent vice presidents.
All true because we do not vote “for” but “against.”
Our campaigns are all geared at generating negative ratings for the opposition. Biden did not win so much as Trump lost. Same thing when Trump beat Hillary. The consequence is that we don’t care how bad our candidate is so long as the other side loses
Yes and no. Yes, in that much voting is for negative reasons. No, in that many vote for the lesser
of two bad choices.
It wasn’t solely about choosing Biden. He would be few people’s first choice. It was mainly because Orange was a MUCH WORSE choice.
I would still take Joe over him any day.
Correct.

And you all can repeat this with a straight face knowing Sarah Palin is a Republican hero.
That well accomplished category 5 moron who makes DJT look like a chess champion.
Sarah Palin is a solid comparison to Kamala.
Sarah is much hotter however.
Oh, sure, perfect and equal - any more brilliance you wish to share?
Why not confer with Dorothy or Baron next.
I get why you're upset Jim.
Not my intention, per se, but the truth hurts from time to time. I wish you well.
Not even close to truth. However I see why you’re always upset.
Nothing to hang your hat on leads to exaggerations, something you’re so very capable of.
In times of peace the warlike man attacks thyself.
I am very rarely upset.
Hmmmmm
Or the Dear Orange Leader himself.

I would trade a few mean tweets for $2.50 gas and a COVID test kit.

Of course you would. What Obama bequeathed to the dear leader.

Covid test kits?

I know you are slow but the reference was to gasoline. Carry on.

Easy, Dim. All that spittle on the keyboard could spread Covid.
We don't want to put the other patrons of the Internet Cafe at risk.
Piggles trying to deflect from another of his dumbass posts.
And that’s funny because it’s true.
You’re a little upset this morning Jim. Go get yourself one of your soy lattes to calm down.
Be sure you bring your worthless card that proves you got the shots that don’t protect you from getting the virus.
You’re a lot misguided Tampa, as usual.

Do you not drink soy lattes? Too manly for a guy like you? The rest is pretty much correct.

What’s a latte?
