I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

Distractions so rubes can ship his picks through without the public eye.

Well that backfired then because I had resigned myself to just white knuckling the next four years and focusing on what I can control and avoiding the news as much as I can.

Go out and talk to randos in public. They dont know what's going on. They dont know who his picks even are. We're fucked.

next four years

People keep saying that, but there's a disturbingly strong chance that he'll still be President in February 2029.

I want very much to be wrong about that, but if I was a betting man I'd put money on it.

Theres also a chance he could have a heart attack or stroke and die long before that. Or his mind could completely fail him. He's old. I know there's a lot jokes about it being passed down to his kids but none of them have the support he does.

Everyone eventually dies. It's the great equalizer.
