And so it hasactually come to pass.
United States President Joe Biden has dropped out of this year’s governmental race, bowing to pressure from fellow Democrats who feared that his train wreck of a efficiency in the June governmental argument with Republican prospect Donald Trump – amongst other episodes – would render the octogenarian less than enticing to the UnitedStates electorate.
So much for Biden’s decree that just the “Lord Almighty” might encourage him to withdraw from the race. Or possibly the Lord had a hand in it, after all.
To be sure, Biden’s Democratic coworkers did have a point – not that Trump or any other alternative, Republican or Democrat, is moreeffective in a devoted plutocracy where tally options normally variety from the transparently sociopathic to the less transparently so.
But Biden’s current spoken gaffes – consistingof such assertions as that he is the “first Black lady to serve with a Black president” in the UnitedStates – did recommend that he was possibly not correctly located to continue as the leader of the worldwide superpower, linguistically or otherwise.
Objectively speaking, too, his function throughout the past 9 months as abettor-in-chief of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip is distinctly less than lovely.

My daddy had inaddition been recommended the prostate cancer drug Xtandi, a medication that hadactually been established with UnitedStates taxpayer cash however not for the function of, um, “lowering prescription drug expenses for elders” – as was obvious from my momsanddads’ costs of no less than $14,579.01 for a single month’s supply of Xtandi.
Anyway, that’s UnitedStates commercialism for you – which sadly is not anything that can be treated through a democratic electoral charade.
Biden’s mostlikely replacement in the governmental race is his present vice president, Kamala Harris. While pun
