"Ladies and gentlemen - they gave me a list here - the first person I'm supposed to call is ..."
The feeble old fool isn't even pretending that he's not a puppet. What a joke.
I had actually caught myself feeling sorry for him.
I can imagine they told him it wouldn't be like this. He knew that a lot of "himself" was gone, that he wasn't up to it any more, but they promised. They promised all he had to do was "be presidential" and they would handle the rest. Wasn't the media on their side? They covered for FDR and Kennedy...Surely they would....They hate Trump too, they have to keep it up.
Jill couldn't deny him....They were going to handle everything and Joe would finally fulfill his lifelong ambition and secure the families security at the same time. How could she deny him this?
They promised...But it wasn't supposed to be like this...Not like this.
Then I remind myself that he is complicit in turning over this country, and all our futures to feckless and duplicitous children who hate the very womb they were dragged from...
And I find myself hoping this presidency hangs like an albatross from his neck.
