Legacy? What Legacy?

We have watched the waves of conflicting emotion undulate for two weeks now—fear, patience, recrimination, compassion—I can’t recall a political storm quite like this one.  But there is an outside set rolling in, clearly visible against a darkening sky. Very soon, contempt will be all that anyone feels for President Biden and his circle of advisors.

No need to search the man’s biography to discover the seeds of his self-absorption, because the mighty tree now stands before us. It is all about him: he wants; he needs; he can. One wonders which lunatic in his inner circle convinced the President that his personal story matters to anyone. “Joe, they’ve been counting you out all your life. Stay the course! You’ll show them.” Satan, if he existed, could do no better than to whisper such blandishments into the old man’s ear.
