Carl,
I forget things all the time, words, names of things, inconsequential things
that have happened recently. But neither you nor I would presume to take on the
kind of responsibility that Joe Biden is willing to take on. For him to make
that choice, is wrong, unethical. For the Democratic Party leadership to
manipulate in the way that they did to give him the nomination, is absolutely
criminal. And it shows their disrespect for the Americans whom they are
supposed to be representing.

That pretty much sums it up, Miriam.
But here's the scary thing, Joe Biden sounds very much like me. No, I don't
mean that he has the same positions or principles that I have, but I'm now
finding myself wandering off topic, reaching for words that slip and slide
away, and mix up topics in the middle of a thought. Maybe it shows somewhat in
my posts, but as a general rule I take time to say what I want to say without
wandering too far afield.
When I was younger I saw this same pattern developing in my mother, as it had
done with her own mother. I assumed I would follow my dad's aging pattern.
Dad was sharp up to the day he died. But, as it is with us all, the genetic
mix can be very fickle. Two beautiful young people can produce an Ugly
Duckling just as a homely pair can bring into the world a Beauty Pageant Winner.
But, and there is always a butt in the mix, Joe Biden is dreaming, in his more
lucid moments, of becoming our Leader! Leaders, especially in today's world,
need to be able to follow a thought from beginning to end without winding up
somewhere else.
What I would do, if, God Forbid, if I were Joe Biden, I'd take Bernie Sanders
as my running mate. Now I understand that Biden said he'd call on a woman to
be his vice presidential running mate, but remember, Joe What's His Name won't
remember he said that. So with Bernie at his side, bringing all the more
reasonable voters, and Joe with the Establishment Democrats, together they will
sweep Donald Trump and his White Supremacists right on back to where they
belong...1880.

My last post for tonight: Has anyone actually listened to all of the
recent clips of Joe Biden's pronouncements? He is clearly suffering
from some kind of Dimentia. He can't talk for more than a minute or so
without going off track, forgetting what he's saying, sounding
confused. It is incredible that the Democratic Party leadership has
chosen this candidate to run against Donald trump. Assuming that they
can continue to hide his senility from the public, is their plan to
then have someone behind the scenes actually act as President while
using him as a figurehead. That's what the Republicans did with Ronald
Reagan after he developed Alzheimers, but at least he was functional
at the start of his presidency. So this time we'll have two old white
men running against each other: one, an insane person who is also a
racist bigot and a dishonest businessman: the other a senile racist
with a history of favoring legislation that supports banks and mass
incarceration.
Both of them have histories of sexual harassment of women. But the
thing is, the Republicans are more ruthless than the Democrats, better
at dirty tricks, so the crazy racist abuser may win over the senile
racist abuser.
