Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Self-Incrimination

 If there is one thing Biden has going for him, it's the character of his opponents. Mainly, they can't seem to stop self-immolating. 

You have the Kristi Noem dog willing own goal, and she likely was Trump's favorite for VP, because she's "Real Murica" and she's kinda hot. Her absolutely incredible series of own goals is really remarkable.

Then you have Trump's Time interview where basically writes Biden's ads for him.

Then - and this one is really off the rails - you have RFK, Jr. admit unprompted that he had a worm in his brain. As the Times points out, Kennedy was basically running as the physically healthy alternative to Biden and Trump, even though he's also old. Kennedy also has had mercury poisoning! The combination of having a dead parasite in your brain and being poisoned with a neurotoxin is perhaps not the best argument that he's the best alternative to Trump and Biden, because he's "healthy".  Oh, and he has atrial fibrillation. Oh, and he had Hepatitis C from intravenous drug use when he was younger.

But Biden has a stutter, so it's pretty much all the same.
