It’s not like the border is the only issue on Joe Biden’s plate. Republicans will do whatever they can to ensure that it’s the only thing voters hear about, but surely we must know there are other items on a long list.
What will happen tonight? Will the President deliver a SOTU for the ages, or will Republicans do their best to distract and interrupt and act like tenth-grade morons?
Tough times for America right now. Trump has sown up the nomination, as has Biden. They’re both old, but Trump seems, overall, still capable of handling the rigors of a crazy schedule, even as his agenda is self-serving and absolutely awful in every way. Biden, on the other hand, seems frail at times, more likely to succumb to the never-ending obligations and stress of tending to so many fires.
I don’t know. I like Joe Biden. He was who we needed in 2020, but I have my doubts about his resilience and stamina over the course of another four years. He’s gonna need capable people around him. What no one needs, even if they don’t realize it, is another Trump presidency. Trump and his cronies are poison. A Trump victory cannot happen, for so many reasons. Maybe it wouldn’t be the end of us, but it would go a long way to rendering us unrecognizable in the eyes of many in the world.
Still eight months to go. Yikes. Time enough to envision what makes for true greatness.
Hint: it ain’t whatever Trump is selling, in all its dystopian, dysfunctional darkness.
