Biden For President...For Now

April 25, 2023 (Vol. 17 No. 21) - President Joe Biden announced in a video released this morning that he is seeking a second term. I will support him in this effort. I have three fundamental reasons why I'd like to see Biden reelected. First: He's earned it. Forget all the static and Republican bullshit. Look at the facts. Most of this nation's economic problems and America's image in the world have been vastly improved during Biden's first two years in office. While there is still work to be done, you should give him credit for untangling much of the mess created by his criminally-indicted and seditious predecessor. Second: He's a good, decent man. With his election, America began to fill an empathy gap created by the previous oligarchical and amoral tenant in the White House. The late President George H.W. Bush once dreamed of a "kinder and gentler America." Joe Biden is trying to deliver on that, despite intense opposition over gun control, immigration and civil rights by his predecessor - who is facing a civil trial in New York today over a sexual assault - and by his sycophantic and pathetic followers. And third: If him, who else? Certainly not the defeated former president who may well be sitting in a prison cell by Election Day. Certainly not that little dictator - with emphasis on the first syllable - who runs Florida as if it were the Third Reich. Asa Hutchinson or Niki Barbour? I am surprised they can even stand up straight after spending the last six years kissing The Donald's ass. Bernie Sanders or RFK, Jr.? Put them in a barrel and roll them down the hill and you'd have a nut job on top every time. Let's face it: As long as American democracy remains under threat by the former president and his MAGA maggots, Joe Biden is the best we have to steady the ship of state. I do have one qualification: Concern about Biden's age. We are moving into new territory by electing a man who will be 86 when his term ends. However, age is not a disqualifier. He may move and speak like a elderly man, but, objectively, there is no evidence of any serious mental decline And remember: There is a large body of highly qualified physciatrists who believe that the soon-to-be-incarcerated ex-president was - and still is - mentally ill. So, for now at least, Joe is my guy. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle.
