Gonna be some great debate between trump and this guy, pretty sure it'll be a competition of who seems less senile at that point. Politics are in an awful state and I'm not sure how to get all these phony entrenched career politicians out.

Unacceptable.

Another instance of our American culture showing a shockingly low amount of regard for truth or the people who speak it, and the national attention span is now perhaps shorter than one (1) Tweet.

I have to take as much solace as possible in the fact that the Biden and Sanders admins would include a lot of the same people.

Liz is probably a shoe-in for VP though, either way, right? Watching Veep is about to pay off!

Yeah it's been fuckin' weird watching everybody pretend that they didn't kick Joe out of the clubhouse for plagiarism thirty fucking years ago.

Joe Biden's loose experience with the truth and with promises is a major subthread of George Packer's The Great Unwinding. Like, the book literally follows a disillusioned staffer.
