   …it demonstrates the clear-headed grasp some republicans have on how “elementary” economics really works…

   Intriguing, Ammo – could you give me references to any of those facts, I’ve not encountered them before – I’m not saying they’re wrong, I just have not heard them before.

   I do know that he got a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware in 1965 and his law degree in 1968. Biden returned to Delaware to work as an attorney before quickly turning to politics, serving on the New Castle county council from 1970 to 1972. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 at the age of 29, becoming the fifth youngest senator in history. It’s possible he drove a truck during his school days, though there’s no mention of it in his official bio.

   The “Cornpop” story appears to be true, according to “the Guardian” the reference to “cornpop” and the “Guardian” can be found by “googling” “cornpop and Biden” and following the trail to the “Guardian” where the article appears – I tried to list the U.R.L. but it won’t copy – sorry…

   Since 2015, the republican party has openly admitted that their aim was to “destroy the administrative state” which, in a nutshell, means destroying America.

   What’s so hard to understand about that?

   “Idiots” who vote “republican” want to live in a police state where the “right” way to live is the ONLY way to live and the only “rule” is the rule decided by their dear leader, who, at the moment is one Donald John Trump though that will change from time to time…

   The republicans are encouraging Senator Menendez to hang in there and NOT resign – they’re afraid it will set a BAD precedent – most republicans wear their indictments like a badge of honor…

   Actually, my first trip to California with my family (we flew in to go to Disneyland) I was stopped in my rental car for driving the speed limit by a member of the California Highway Patrol and issued a warning – he told me to drive “with the traffic” and ignore the posted speed limit.

   Since I had trouble with that, I compromised and let my wife drive – posted speed limits have always been the merest “suggestion” to her way of thinking…

   Just because “I” don’t break laws, I do understand that sometimes it IS considered necessary, and try not to be too judgmental about it…

   “…in mysterious ways…” is the “answer” given when there is no answer – it’s a variation on the adult-to-child response of, “Because…”.

   In this instance, “mysterious” translates to, “I haven’t got a clue.”

   Actually, Ammo, the first two sentences or so didn’t make any sense to me – “…When Biden turns any subject back to him it gives me chicken skin…” and so on. His antecedents have little bearing on how he performs – and what the heck is or was “Cornpop”? – and a shotgun…?

   Beau died of cancer brought on by toxic smoke from military “trash fires”, though that’s never been proven and that can be ascribed only parenthetically to death in combat and “housefires” completely escapes me…

   I like the “chicken skin” reference, though – I first ran into that reference in Hawaii, many years ago and I believe it translates to “creepy” or “spooky”, though you might have been better served by giving an example or two – and, incidentally, your “island” reference should be “Puerto Rico”, though I’m not at all sure how that fits into your narrative…

   Easy answer to the question is that they don’t like tortilla chips while they LOVE guns – the barrel’s orifice is just the right size…

   Kevin KNEW this would happen from the outset – but he has to profess ignorance (actually, it’s STUPIDITY, and blatant, at that) since he can’t admit that all this was planned, from the start – Kevin just wanted his portrait hanging in the “Speaker’s Gallery” – everything else is immaterial…
