That's fair concerning the state of Dem affairs. Sensibility, however, is not a trump card (pun intended). There were sensible GOP candidates in 2016 but the biggest kook of them all wound up with the nomination (and Oval Office). It appears in this day and age that rationality no longer rules. Klobuchar and Bennett are the most moderate ones in the Dem field and they aren't even on the radar. Some of that blame falls onto the press as they want news with buzz not boring but valuable coverage. It's becoming more and more apparent that the primaries are the most important of elections since in national elections the tribal sheeple on either side will vote blindly. What a circus the dems are putting forth. Christ, Wiz could/would/should finish in the top three against that field.
I would gladly trade today's system for the good ol' days of backroom deals and multiple convention votes. In a heartbeat.
And The Wizard's "kill them all" policy would play well in the R primary, but Woke Nation would reject him out of hand. So, you know, Woke Nation isn't entirely malevolent and stupid.
But, if Biden actually figures this out and runs what passes for a centrist campaign (i.e., slightly left of Obama, lol), he can win. I'm watching one D candidate after another take preposterously bad general election positions in a race to prove Wokeness. Biden should push back against that, IMO. Perhaps that's just my wishful thinking.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

In the past year or so I've learned more on just how shrouded in mystery Epstein's background is. Well, it is and it isn't. The mystery is more about how he really acquired his wealth. He's purported to be a billionaire, though that's possibly a front.
He was born strictly working class. His dad worked for the Parks Dept. Grew up on Coney Island. Went to public school. Tried college twice and dropped out twice.
Then he was suddenly hired to teach math at an elite private high school. Couple years later and he's working at Bear Stearns. Couple years after that he's made a partner. Couple years after that he's opening his own investment firm and is managing billions in other people's money. That's one of the things that's hard to grasp...as someone i read recently put it, you don't become a billionaire by managing other people's money. A millionaire, sure, but it'd be an extremely rare case to get obscenely wealthy that way. His clientele was and is a closely kept secret. Les Wexner (the billionaire Ohio State donor) is one of his only known clients.
As Kapture says, he owned his own island in the Caribbean. He owned what's believed to be the largest private home in Manahattan. He travels constantly.
It's easy to see why people suspect he has far less legitimate sources of income. And provides a different sort of service for wealthy clients.

Think tank says Congress may need to deal with the debt ceiling much sooner than expected because the government's taking in much less tax revenue than previously projected.
Instead of October/November, they're warning that this may need to be dealt with in the first couple weeks of September. Right after August recess.

Haven't we learned our lesson about putting billionaires into office? Is our national attention span that short?
