    Looked through to find one of these takes near the top.

    That is a ridiculous idea.

    A doddering, old, ex-president that is known to be forgetful is somehow going to help Trump, the current sitting president?

    One step further: All the things above, but everyone Joe could talk to knows that his son is a political prisoner? Maybe we can add a footnote to this thought, too that questions why someone who got ran out of politics by his own party would care to meddle in the affairs of democratic institutions or those of our allies. (With the understanding that certain actions and certain conversations are violations of the Hatch act, which, under a vindictive DOJ, would see Joe in prison.)

    In this absolute farce where he’s emerging from his quiet sundown to try to engage with people about politics, does anyone see Joe as anything but a prisoner himself?
    Who would trust any words from him about anything other than Amtrak or ice cream?
    You’d have to be a complete fucking moron to think that scenario could play out. That’s the sort of dumb shit that happens on TV, and may be something that Trump tries, but is not something competent humans fall for.

    Today’s word of the day is: Specious.
