#1 I like this fellow. He provides all the outward appearances of a man who really doesn't give a FOK wat people think.

#4 ^ Biden and his handlers have four years to accomplish their goals for this country. They are unscrupulous, dishonest, hasty and rely far too heavily on their ability to pull the wool over they eyes of the voters. But at some point, more likely at multiple points, in the next four years they will screw up so badly that no amount of cheating will give them electoral victory. They will then be faced to choose between openly shredding the Constitution and rule by martial law or ignominious defeat. Your guess is as good as mine which way they'll go.

#5 Biden, et al may only have until January 2023, if the Republicans can take control of either House or Senate — while much can temporarily be done with executive orders for the remaining two years, a large part of their ability to steamroll opposition depends on maintaining a façade of overwhelming voter preference.

#6 And he is ignoring, much as he did in office, the custom that current and former secretaries of state avoid the appearance of political partisanship.

Oh, yeah - like Hillary and John Forbes Kerry were fucking pillars of stoicism since they left that office...
