In other words, if Joe Biden had stubbornly refused to drop out and miraculously, incredulously and in a total pig’s eye had beaten Donald Trump in the ’24 election, vp Kamala Harris would have almost certainly become president before the end of Joe’s second term, and probably, to be honest, by early to mid ’26.
He’s obviously not long for this mortal coil.
If Joe had announced he’s a one-term president in, say, early to mid ’23, he could have gone out like a hero. Now his legacy is in the toilet, and it’s not likely to climb out of that porcelain dungeon for decades to come. All because of that pugnacious Irish egotism.
“The same power that burned Hiroshima
Causing three legged babies and death
Shrunk to the size of a nickel
To help him regain his breath
“And I was struck by The Power and The Glory
I was visited by a majestic hymn
Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky
As the radiation flowed through him”
— Lou Reed
