Goddamit I had a prior commitment and missed the Biden interview. Will have to catch it Sunday or whatever. The post-interview spin doctors annoy me.
So how about we reset, and limit the argument to 2024 and beyond, Biden (or replacement) vs. Trump. What happens after Nov. 5th?
Biden first. I think that the Democrats are idiots to be floating all the talk of him backing out. Who is going to beat Trump? Kamala? some other ringer? NO. Stupid f-ers. So if he is re-elected, I see a potential for 4 years of stable, educated, semi-coherent governance and foreign policy. And really hope that the Dems can reset, shut up the left-wingers, and work with the R's on addressing the problems we face. Immigration. China. Ukraine, etc. Could it be moving back to the Reagan/Tip O'Neill days? or the Clinton/Newt (or whoever) days? Where we actually got something done via compromise? Geezus. If I could wave my magic wand, Biden would dump Kamala for one of several other potential VP's, win the election, then feign a physical trauma a year or two in and hand it over.
Trump. It is just so frightening. 4 years of revenge and retribution. Hate, hate, hate. Lies, lies, lies. Think back to the (real or perceived) Putin pacifying. The theatrical stepping into North Korea. Ill-advised China tariffs. Lowering or continuing tax cuts for the rich. More rocketing deficit. Women's rights further butchered. Abandoning Ukraine and by extension Europe.
China in specific pisses me off. I think we should just embargo those F-ers and throw their disgusting, pollution and human rights violating filled economy into the toilet. I've always been sort of an isolationist. F-it. Hunker down and see how they do when we quit importing their crap.
Immigration. The one issue I would side with Trump over. I think Biden's late but significant changes are a good thing and are working. Fine, let's get legislation to strengthen it. Trump's draconian approach? Well, sometimes the pendulum has to swing the other way.
