This #NYTimes piece on #Biden is #interesting. It'is almost honest.

The reporters express surprise that #SenileJoe is siding with the #Dem #Left. Maybe they really ARE surprised. If they are, it just shows they were conned as thoroughly as most of the country was in 2020.

It’s now clear that Biden had a three part agenda: 1) Get elected #POTUS. 2) Pass a lot of very expensive government programs. 3) Go down in history as an #FDR or #LBJ, a president who permanently transformed American society.

#Joe’s problem was that 2) endangered 1). He needed to pretend to be “moderate” to get elected. So he ran a campaign that came down to ‘#OrangeManBad, #SenileManGood, and let’s not talk about what I’ll do in office.’ And it worked. He got the #DemocraticParty united behind him.

#BillClinton tried the same strategy, minus the senility. And #Clinton did transform the U.S. politically: he got the #GOP back in the game as far as holding #Congress was concerned. #Obama tried the same thing, and got the same result.

Alas for #DementiaJoe, lots of Democratic Congresscritters remember what happened, and aren’t eager to sacrifice their careers for the greater glory of the #Biden family.

My best guess is that #Biden will get just enough of his program passed to throw the #House to the #Republicans in the next election, perhaps the #Senate as well, while not getting enough to please the #Democratic #Left.

And the divisions within the U.S. will continue to widen till we get #NationalDivorce or #CivilWar2 (‘This time, with nukes!’®).

Makes me glad to be old. I’ll probably miss the worst.

To avoid Civil War 2, joint the Convention of States movement, and get a #secession amendment.
