Is it though. Or is this hitting the news now because they're prepping to get rid of dementia Joe. There's an election coming up....

I'm on the cynical side. Joe hasn't really outlived his usefulness, but if they can retire him after he declares the pandemic is over thanks to the vaccinated in the upcoming state of the union address, he will serve a greater purpose to them than just signing executive orders.

I have no doubt they want to hold onto him for as long as possible, but the Canadian truckers have done more for freedom in two short weeks than most have done in two years, in all of North America.

I think because of the truckers, I can see them retiring him to a nursing home and just keeping karmela out of the spotlight and claiming victory.

What more can a senior who obviously isn't quite all there anymore do?

For Canadians, yeah, because they needed it. They capitulated almost as embarrassingly as the Aussies. Maybe some of the blue states might benefit. But plenty of places in the US were already post mask, post lockdown.

Joe is there to sign things. If he were able to read, formulate thoughts and opinions, or question what's going on, he becomes dangerous and someone has to deal with the president's agenda, which may not align with their own.

Over the past year, the biggest problem has been the groups and agenda differences of those who are pulling the strings to make him speak. Occasionally, you see him say very different things, because he's being told completely different things from disparate groups.

And as far as Canadian truckers, I stand by that statement. Not only politicians, but In the minds of people. There are NO states that have pushed back like Florida. But even places like Utah, Idaho and Texas are far more restricted than Florida, Iowa or even Georgia. From an individual perspective, there may be individual towns or cities who haven't masked or followed the "guidelines" or "policies", but from the institutional/overall perspective, most red states are locked down just as hard as blue states.

I mean, the Texas governor was throwing hair stylists in jail months ago, and he came out with some gas lighting BS a few weeks ago about how Texas was so free over the past few years. He still won't exonerate any of the charges against them.

We need to be pushing back against the policies they put in place that took out freedoms from us, otherwise it doesn't really matter.
