During the last six months of his presidency after he dropped out of the presidential campaign, Joe Biden will not have that much to do. But don’t worry, White House officials will find some way to make him useful.

In the protocol/Kabuki theater that is American politics, Joe Biden has been formally handed his walking papers already. His footprint media-wise, never that large, is now vanishingly small. No one cares what Biden has to say. His speech at the dnc was shunting into the sidings while the real luminaries of the evening held court. The powers that run the democrats must still be furious with the senile fool and his incompetent team of enablers. Come October, watch for Biden to step down so that Kamala Harris can become the “first”* female/black female/Asian president, albeit for one month before losing to Trump possibly, in which case, she’ll be little more than ornamentation. It’ll all depend on the poll numbers.
Holy shit Ted! Lol!
