Biden has one, Trump needed one.

I wish “tan suit politics” would become such a common term that it wipes out all subsequent examples of it (by making it obvious that it’s what Repubbies are doing with such trivial bullshit criticisms).

He also has a moving bicycle, but I’m sure the Secret Service would be happier if he didn’t ride it around DC right now.

Trump’s exercise is climbing in and out of golf carts, and somehow Biden is the feeble guy.

Real Americans™ spend their time doing one of two things

  • digging coal with a pickax in a coal mine

  • hanging out in a folksy diner talking to journalists about their economic anxieties

“Exercise” is for ((( coastal elites )))

Oh, don’t limit them so much. They do lots of other things, too. Beat their children, shoot protestors, get into parent fights at little league games, road rage incidents, drunken diatribes about stronger drug legislation, we could go on for days.

As much as I could spend hours bitching about how problematic such a thing would be, I was truly hoping that during one of the debates Biden would get frustrated enough to straight up challenge the fucker to drop and do twenty pushups right then and there.

Not just as a display of strength and vitality, but as a demonstration of brain health; anybody reading this who is capable of doing twenty pushups on a moment’s notice can back me up here: the first thirty seconds after doing so is an excellent test of your noggin’s plumbing. If you doubt that, have someone pepper you with questions right before and right after.

What Will We Call The New Tea Party

It was a neat trick that for 4 years ‘Trump supporters’ were somehow distinct from ‘Republicans,’ and now we will inevitably have some other exciting new political movement that isn’t precisely associated with either of them, but they love America and freedom and are skeptical of Democrats but could be persuaded (but never are).

They will be the protagonists of our politics story, as they always are. Angry, racist, relatively affluent white people who are covered obsessively by our political press who somehow never manage to convey who they actually are, who is funding them, and what they actually want.

Best thing for them, I think. Break the Repugnicans into like 3 parties so they can really fine-tune their platform for their individual constituencies.

We often joke around here that “Tea equals pee,” so maybe the Pee Party?

That’s Pence dispensed with. Waiting…

And now the worst human being this country has ever produced is officially out of office.


“…not by the example of our power, but the power of our example.”

I hate political speeches generally. This is one of the better ones, but one good turn of phrase means a lot to me.


That wasn’t a poem, that was a master class in poetry.
