I am inspired by something, thank god...

I dont see, unless I am not paying attention to the right areas or things, any of the back and forth about Bernie/Joe etc.

I know some of it exists here and everywhere but I am seeing less and less.

We truly do have to put Joe Biden in the WH or we are likely to be killed.

He knows his last chance at relevance is now. He has exactly two options: participant or spoiler.

Some of his most fanatic followers may not be on board with his decision, but I think The Magistrate is right: to him, it was always about him. If he's a spoiler, he's a footnote. If he's a participant, he has a chance at relevance and a legacy. He went for spoiler last time. Been there, done that, didn't turn out so well. I think the participant option is looking better to him this time, and I'm sure he is aware that it can only turn out better than it did last time.

It was "Bernie or Bust".

Bernie didn't get in, so the country went Bust--in every way imaginable.

So many unnecessary deaths, kids in cages, and irresponsible environmental deregulations and so much treason later, at least we get a do-over.

I'm using treason correctly now, as it was pointed out so long ago that treason can only be done in a time of war. Trump said he was now a "wartime president". Miranda states, "Anything you say can and will be used against you..."

You're on, Your Horniness!
