(...God Willing, as Joe would say…)
I know that many here like to think about what they would advise the President to say, regarding certain questions that may be expected. If I had been on Joe’s prep team, I would have liked to hear something like this, in reply to David Sanger’s question regarding, “what about in 3 years...” at last night’s press conference.
“No one has any idea what will happen in three years, David. We barely have any idea what can happen in three weeks, or even three hours. One thing you always overlook is that Putin will be three years older, Chi will be three years older, and Orban, and Kim…. And even you too, David Sanger, will be three years older.
“None of us know what that will bring, but I can tell you that the next three months are a clear and present danger to our democracy. These three months right are what we need to be focused on. These three months when we must focus on saving American democracy from the Implementation of Project 2025. I’m asking all Americans, from every corner, to help me defeat this anti-patriotic movement.
“As I feel NOW, I am totally up to the challenge of dealing with these dictators. If something happens, I know full well that VP Kamala Harris will be prepared to take on these tyrants, too.
“But, what will you be doing if a tyrant is in OUR White House? It’s time for that to occupy your front pages.”
And by the way, let me add, my mother-in-law is going on 102 (...God bless her, as Joe would say). She still is on her own. She still remembers everything. And I keep on saying she will probably outlive me….
As much as Kamala Harris has to deal with racism and misogyny, President Joe Biden is absolutely being attacked for ageism. It is one of the isms that seems to be OK, especially with you young-uns; who God willing, will get to be old someday.
