Look, you have to understand that i have just finished "the best part of my day"--from 3:00 am to noon. I wake up early, "get weird" for a couple hours, watch a little news or (taped something), feed the dogs, little things like going to the store, get in my 90-minute walk, then sit out on the front porch (with a view) with Sophie, Winston, and Conner for a couple of hours in the sun while maybe having a couple of beers and maybe a third.
The next half of my day--from noon til 8:00 is the stressful part, although i can usually manage the 5:00 to 8:00 timeframe with innocuous television that i like or tape. Noon til 5:00--those are currently the bad hours, knowing that i have to stay awake until 8:00.
This afternoon if i get ambitious, i could drive about ten miles away and set up a time to get my "lawn tractor" serviced before the spring springs upon us. Or i could drive about thirty minutes away to get the dog "flea and tapeworm" medicine. I will probably do neither--putting it off--making my "afternoon" that much more difficult to deal with.
What a life. I have decided i want to find a pretty, young, smart, intelligent female to act as my "housemate maid". Of course, that is probably the same thing every 75-year old fart like me would like hanging around the vicinity. One, just cannot help being a "dirty old man" even if he isn't one.
Okay, so that is where i am today.

Let's talk about the management of "Top Secret" material--Trump versus Biden
I was asked the other day if there was a difference between the two. Essentially, i responded. "Is there a difference between a gnat and an elephant?" If you think there is a difference, then no, there is no comparison. However, if you think a gnat and an elephant are similar in stature, then you might look at them as somewhat equivalencies.
Come on folks. I lived through the Presidency of Donald J. Trump, and pretty much through his entire Presidency i felt he was linked up pretty tightly with one of this country's biggest adversary, Vladmir Putin.
Personally, i thought Putin had something on Trump (like pictures of him blowing the socks off of one of Putin's favorite oligarchs--not really, but at least something like that). And if Putin didn't have pictures, at least he had one "fucking admirer".
There should not be an American alive today that can look back at the Trump-Putin Helsinki farce. Trump said that he believed Putin over our own intelligence. Where in the Fuck to you think our Top Secret information comes from if it isn't from our intelligence group? Think on that for a moment.
What does it mean then when our own Top Secret information is viewed to be less reliable than what Putin was telling him. It means that our Top Secret information isn't worth shit. Either that, or it is worth quite a bit, and could be passed along to keep my "own personal secrets" secret.

Now let's look at the Biden situation.

Now let's move on and put Trump in fucking prison.
I'm pretty certain Putin has something on Trump as well. It just made no sense that Trump gave Putin a free hand to do whatever he wanted on the global stage - even if it hurt US interests. The worst was how he did not challenge Putin for paying the Taliban bounties on US soliders killed.
I am not so sure. Trump liked Putin period. Trump liked Putin's style.
Trump actually is a "pretty stupid" person when it comes down to it. That's a hard thing to prove when he made it all the way to the Presidency, but Trump actually is not a very smart man. He knows absolutely nothing about the history of this country. Period.
Historians will have a "hay day" figuring out what happened to America that allowed a Trump like figure get elected as President of the United States, but it will end up coming down to the "humongous split" between the two parties, with "independents" tired of them both--taking a flyer with Trump (to their chagrin)
