…and then I hope to not address this kind of thing for a while here.
So I'm not saying the shooting last Saturday was exactly as it seemed or that it was staged. Like I said, I'm not plunging down that rabbit hole…so don't try to convince me one way or the other. I might listen a bit to experts who've done a serious and exhaustive inquiry into what happened that day and there will be one investigation — probably more than one — though mainly about what the Secret Service (and others involved in the protection of a political figure) did right or wrong.
Just to make it clear: I think both men are unqualified to be President of the United States. I think Biden's done a way better job than Trump did and a way better one than Republicans have convinced America he did. I wish he was the same Joe Biden I voted for last time…but he isn't and it seems unlikely he'll ever be that Joe Biden again.
This isn't a prediction but I'd like to think that President Biden has already made the decision to step aside and that he's just waiting until he and his people figure out how to do it and when to do it. The "when" could involve all sorts of planning and getting everyone in position and also waiting for certain events — like the recently-concluded NATO Summit and the current Republican Convention — to be over.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong…but then I don't do this for a living. I'm allowed to be wrong about this stuff. Anyway, please stop sending me e-mails about these issues.
And so help me, as I was typing the above paragraph, I got a news flash on my iPhone that Biden has tested positive for COVID-19.
