Seems 42 really was the answer after all.

Mr. Adams would be pleased indeed.

Cool segue into FNTP.

Alrighty then. The guy who posted the link to the live camera on Abbey Road is unaware of the songs contained on one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

Good to know! ;)

blame it on canuck for giving me the idea.

I don't think I know many tunes containing "honorifics".

Got any other ideas? And, will you be there with me?

Don't want to be alone again.

don't ask why, try some pie.

Let me now if you have a theme in mind or would just like to go free form again ...

"I mean, some people may have thought that but, Biden ain't one of them."

Cool. Every word in that sentence was wrong.

Biden, by his own admission, did think that the GQP would return to normalcy. Asked this question a few days ago, he said he'd hoped they would have been further along in the process. (Which is why I lampooned the five stages of grief in a previous thread, as Biden is familiar with that process and while I watched his reaction, one would easily be forgiven if one concluded the five stages were on his mind.)

I know I'm a pedant, but CW was (infuriatingly) right to word it the way he did.

koodos, CW.

Had to employ my 'Michale mouse-wheel' for the first time in oodles.

Asked and answered why the US is still using water-wing democracy. The US still has two-dimensional thinking in its political life. A healthy three-party system would wipe out hyper-partisanism 'us v them-ism' in a stroke. 'Us v they-ism' is much more pleasant. I am aware it's a slippery slope when you judge others by your baked in set of values, but hey, here we are.

I'm curious, when Putin dictates his terms (as that's all that's left to do for this war to conclude, the US lost, btw) who gets to sign the humiliating concord? Trump's an obvious choice if you think Benedict Arnold got a bad rap? I don't think Biden deserves that ignominious task, well a little, if we estimate his four-year hiatus, into the equation, and the monumental disaster that ensued when Trump took office. Maybe the entire GQP caucus should be forever shamed with this task, but then we get back the 'Benedict paradox', can a fifth column be considered for a role in the national life of a defeated nation? lots to consider, but at the end of the day, this is still an American matter... I'm curious how this matter will be resolved.

Don't let the grass grow, Putin is massing men and machines on the Ukrainian border, if, rather when he's done knocking seven shades of shit out of them, he'll be in no mood for compromise.

Chop-chop.

Trumpanzies - a perfect metaphor.

Piss on the front row of spectators.
Front row spectators recoil back.
Back row of spectators rushes forward to see what the fuss is about.
Piss on the back row.

I never saw this coming...and I pray it never stops, at least until after Kamala's two terms in office 2028 - 2036.

Very nice!

Who'da thunk that Joe would start out as though he was a Stealth Bernie. Kudos, Elizabeth, you were right!

Truer words were never spoken!

I don't think Joe truly believed that Trump Derangement Syndrome* was going to subside. Rather, he took the prudent political course of,

1- at least creating the space within Republicanism for non-Trumpanzies to reclaim the party. The fact that it hasn't makes,

2- the Repug insanity all the more apparent to the 60% of non-Trumpanzies in the electorate.

Could you rewrite that, to make it just a tiny bit clearer what "This" refers to, in the second sentence?

Ha!

It would be misguided to perceive that Joe Biden is naive.

Absolutely, positively, unequivocally!

And, yet, around here that seems to happen on a near daily basis, surprisingly.

I had to laugh at one point. You wrote, "Some of his most fervent followers truly believe Donald Trump has some sort of divine destiny, and to contradict him would be like contradicting God. This is not an overstatement -- this is actual fact."

Could you rewrite that, to make it just a tiny bit clearer what "This" refers to, in the second sentence?

I'm going to be generous today and let y'all all in on a little secret. Ahem. Here is the really big (not a) secret:

What a politician believes and what he says when questioned about his thoughts on matters are not always the same thing.

Not to in any way imply that I know what goes on in the far reaches of Joe Biden's mind, but I would wager quite a stack of Benjamins that old Joe was fairly certain that Donald Trump was a stench that was going to linger for a loooooooooooong time. It is likely that Joe would also know that the truth would be a lousy answer on which to campaign to replace Benedict Donald.

Remember that Joe was Vice President when a member of Donald Trump's campaign resigned immediately from said campaign but not before he informed Biden personally about Michael Flynn's shenanigans and what he had witnessed at a meeting of some members of the Trump campaign he attended.

It would be misguided to perceive that Joe Biden is naive regarding the Trumpublicans based on Joe's public statements regarding the Trumpian slow coup, travelling circus, and veritable shit show.

So to recap: Good cop, bad cop. Coach and quarterback. I'm not some "reverse QAnon nut" who believes that the President is an all powerful avatar on a mission to rid the world of the pure evil *laughs*, but Joe isn't quite as naive as he's being portrayed either. :)

Chris, I'm just wondering how it is that you know that Biden expected a magical return to normalcy?

I mean, some people may have thought that but, Biden ain't one of them.
