    The worst part is cognitive decline is real. We’re seeing it.

    .

    Trump and Biden are only 3 years apart.

    .

    3 years.

    .

    The difference is, Joe surrounds himself with competence. He picked a VP who wouldn’t make a terrible President. He also doesn’t have shitty impulses to play with big government military toys at baseline that he’s falling back on right now.

    .

    Can we say the same for Trump? What does his less competent more impulsive at baseline ass do in full cognitive decline?

    .

    And yet we’re sitting in this geriatric hole. With a China-Russia-Korea alliance looming, plus whatever the fuck is happening on the daily in the Middle East. Our neighbors are cool, thankfully, but conflict doesn’t need to be neighbor based or on the same continent these days. Yea, we have shit in our own house and it stinks, but the rest of the globe isn’t going to stop existing while we fight it out.

    .

    Complacency and inertia are scary. And that’s what’s been running the DNC for years.
