He's been on a perpetual re-election campaign since he lost in 2020, and they've given him more air time than any other human being on the planet, and that's not an exaggeration. They engineered this, it was their narrative, and they fixed it for him to win, including getting Biden out of the way. The only thing that went wrong was the transition that went to Harris, instead of the confusion of a mini primary they were banking on.

We lost our free press when it became corporate, owned by the billionaires. There are a lot of things we should have done that we are really going to regret now.

I'm 67, I've got to figure out how to make it work for maybe another decade. Lie low and hope for the best, I guess.
