Keep Things Moving, Jack

November 5 is still almost nine months away. Yup.

Who knows what the ballot is going to look like? Sounds like Joe Biden is no slam dunk, after some special counsel opinion that there’s something off with his mind and memory. And Trump has so many potential roadblocks that one might dare envision something wild and unforeseen yet unfolding in terms of who we end up being able to vote for.

And yet, my money is on Trump still standing, and Joe Biden still limping. It’s difficult to envision any other slate of candidates emerging in time. Short of Trump’s passage from this mortal coil, the mere threat of a supporter uprising will keep him on the ballot. And Biden will weather this latest political assault on his viability.

It seems at this point that there is no way to make Trump go away. This long, excruciating, unnecessary slog will have to run its course, all the way to 11/5, when the sane majority sends Trump the message he should have heeded long ago: go the fuck away, and shut the hell up.

Trump could be massacred by 8 or 10 million votes this time (in my dreams), and he will still claim foul. So, then what? Is he just a scourge we have to live with until he dies?
