Instead of being caught up in the Biden drama...

we should be working right now on getting Congressional candidates to commit to supporting a constitutional amendment that says a president has none of the immunity the Supreme Court has just given them. We cannot let the media's shiny object distract or depress us. And do we not know there's one candidate who's committed to indulging his authoritarian impulses while the other he said he does not want the powers and will not use them?

We cannot let "Biden's age" become "Hillary's emails". If you lived through that, you can see the similarities in terms of the media feeding frenzy and the bar to prove fitness for office that continues to rise. Two days ago it was a free flowing interview. Then that and a town hall. Today, it's producing medical records and results of cognitive test. These fucking people could be Trump's campaign workers and too many people are buying in.

Folks, we've got to stop and get to work. Action overcomes emotions. None of us can simply stand on the sideline and fret or, worse, give up. We're months away from dictatorship. Can we just start with putting the pressure on Congressional candidates?
