NO. Sorry, but I did inventory for a company that did cleanouts of people’s houses after water damage; due to that experience I can unequivocally say that wet laundry is not suitable for running the country. And it’s too much like what we have now: It can really stink if left unattended and allowed to mildew.
BUT…I don’t think she wants to be POTUS. HST would’ve been content to stay in the Senate had not the weirdness of Fate interceded. And I think she’ll choose the person most qualified for the job regardless of gender, should this scenario occur.
And who knows what’s going to happen next, truly? NOBODY.
I cannot fathom Pelosi choosing AOC as VP. And as much as I like AOC, I think that’s probably for the best right now. Let her run in 2028!
I could almost imagine Pelosi choosing Clinton as VP though, as an enormous fuck you to the GOP. And as such a gesture, I’d even support it, even though I despise the idea of another billionaire-friendly neoliberal “centrist” in the White House.
Well, no one knows for certain what’s going to happen, is the most certain thing we know. We can only predict or project or play around what what we think or hope might happen, but we won’t know what happens until it actually does happen.
You know?
But if you have some inside info that is absolutely certain, then please share it with the rest of us. And by “the rest of us”, I mean the entire known world.
I think that a bunch of those old men would let the whole world and the entire population burn just so they could avoid the most minor of inconveniences to themselves, in the little time they have left on earth. Trump certainly, he’s said as much, it went something like ‘why should I care about global warming, I’ll be dead.’
this is such an interesting, enlightening piece. i had NO idea this was something that Biden struggled with, but now that i know it, it honestly changes how i’ll listen to him going forward:
Impediment or no, the reason I don’t support him is he’s still both a guardedly casual racist and (by past performance) supportive of institutional racism and classist politics. I don’t think a stutter has any relation to that.
because it totally makes me reframe the whole “biden is feeble and losing it” attacks against him. it has no bearing in regards to any of the things you mention.
I see. I don’t really see him as feeble, either. But I do see him as failing to justify the narrative he’s been pushing of being blameless for being a “basic” white dude, impairment notwithstanding.
Remember, FDR was richer than Croesus, or close.
And Endicott Peabody, who founded Groton, where FDR went to prep school, was still feared by Franklin, lol (so even FDR was still scared of his high-school principal, how humanizing, eh?)
