On the Presidency and the cadre of media types encircling their own horses.

We were left with a prophecy.

"Beware those that hate the moderates.  The immoderate either push legislation as solutions to basic quandries of life, or they want not a government, at all."

There's a professional cadre of them; paid partisans, contributors to various things, bent to push an agenda, and untrustworthy in the real situation on the ground.

I came from Parsimony Cove, after a few years on a mountaintop, a kind of Zarathrystra become real, or Rip Van Winkle, his American cousin.  I lived through the pograms of the Obama Administration, the wild accusation of W wanting to enact slavery regulations, and then Trump made the left's worst nightmares become real and illegally tried to keep power after his term was over, like the worst of dictators.

A good program of legislation, or a role model.  This is the menu of choices they are pitching, some sinless plate-breaker, or a detestable man of winning legislative measures.

I do not think of a President much as a role model, anyway.  The only similarity I have with Biden, is not wanting to emulate him, not farther than wanting to try whatever he's smoking for him to come up with such unworkable administrative ideas.
