Mmmmm, he also stayed in the White House and had psychotic rants. He even asked Kissinger to pray for him.

Agreed. There's info in the real facts community about a specific form of dementia which symptoms include his weird stance, combativeness, etc. (I'm so tired but the info is easy to locate.) Think about it though: FDR was partially paralyzed, but didn't treat a podium like a recalcitrant dance partner. Love your avi, Wilder forever :)

Biden has a thing none of the others have. He's always ready to laugh in Trump's face. Literally. This is a thing no one has ever done. He laughed continually in Paul Ryan's face in their debate-- and it was appropriate too-- because Ryan was saying the lamest things. And the other day some news guy asked Biden's opinion of something Trump had just said. Biden's response: "He's a fool." He said this in the most unanswerable way. Debates should be fabulous, but I doubt Trump will chance it.

That sounds like an “October (non)Surprise”.

It's very important to me that you linked to "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News" because I maintain that "The Wiz" is one of the best cult hits ever and I used to slink around the house with a cigarette holder (rolled-up construction paper) and a towel draped around my shoulders to reproduce "The Emerald City Sequence." Thank you for coming to my TED Talk on Sidney Lumet.

MTV doesn’t show videos if anyone wants to watch videos they hie over to YouTube. Every permutation of Jersey Shore is on MTV and Cheaters (I love mess so I watch Cheaters).

He may expect it. He talked recently about helping the RV industry and driving one to New York with Melania in the back. Not to his new state of residence?

Nothing has changed. Talk show hosts have trashed Joe when possible, Colbert has made more than one joke about sexual allegations. Ocasio Cortez claims loans from the Federal Reserve are money giveaways when she has an econ degree and presumably KNOWS BETTER but pretending the equivalent of payday loans is "free money" excites the base.

God, AOC. I'll never understand how any thinking person isn't troubled by her. Either her diploma isn't worth the paper it was printed on, or she is a Sarah Palin grade grifter and liar.
