First there was the launch video where he said "Let's make America like it used to be." Sound familiar?
Now, from the Hill.
Question: "Why are you the best choice for Democrats?"
Joe Biden: "That'll be for the Democrats to decide."
Also see:
Ted Kennedy: Why do you want to be President? Umm, blank stare, umm.
John Kerry: Why do you want to be President? Umm, I served in Vietnam and and umm.
It's almost as if we've moved on from the war against ISIS/ISIL before the war was even over. The tens of thousands of victims deserve some accounting, if only a summary number.
For the sake of brevity I'm going to focus on casualties that America is responsible for.

‘Venezuela’s Parallel Ambassador Seated at OAS as Activists Defend Embassy; The Organization of American States allowed the ambassador of Venezuela’s self-declared president to participate in his first meeting. The move could signal an attempt to take over Venezuela’s embassy in DC, which activists are defending’ April 24, 2019, TRNN (the transcript’s at the link)
Dystopia does not do a lot for us. It does not inspire people to change the world; only the right utopian dream will do that. But for some reason dystopia has become the "default narrative" for this global space and historical time. Only by examining dystopia will we be able to understand its prevalence as a trend. I suppose the resultant literary genre for the prolonged investigation into dystopia would be called "horror."
There are already more Democrats trying to be the president than there are benzenes in the waters. So I am throwing some out. We will start with those whose names are just Wrong. Tulsi Gabbard: too much like Gabby Hayes, unsane sidekick in a bazillion B westerns. John Hickenlooper: a man with a name like Hickenlooper is a man who will wear a propeller beanie. Pete Buttigieg: a name that looks like it's pronounced "butt gig" will engender snickers in a thousand classrooms. Beto O'Rourke: like the street name of a three-card-monte hustler in some lesser David Mamet play. Okay. So these people, they are finished. Over. I will hear no more about them.
This is the most unexpected news since someone reported that, roughly every twenty-four hours, the sun rises in the east. Please try to recover from the shock.
Creepy, privileged Joe Biden finally formally entered the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
It's taken hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and trillions of dollars, but it appears that most people think that war isn't very fun anymore.
