I'd much rather have King Charles in charge than any of the GOPers that are running or thinking about running. And I'd rather have King Charles than RFK Jr.
But Biden is the best president of my lifetime, which began under Eisenhower, unless you want to be picky and note that Truman was president when I was conceived. (I love being picky about stuff like that. I'm one of those rare people that even knows the date of conception, but I digress!) Biden is the Man of the Hour, and as Victoria says, ā¦
I actually remember being almost four in November '52 and accompanying my father to the local school (PS 122 in Astoria). he asked me who he should vote for and (obviously I'd been hearing him yelling about Ike being hopelessly outclassed by Stevenson) I told him to vote for Stevenson. I remember EVERYTHING about that moment. the lights in the gym, the smell of the building (which I later attended for two years and which is now---YAY!!--a "Core Knowledge Curriculum School"), the hardwood floor (that Aspergian memory thing, right Tom?).
about the King Charles thing...I've had the thought more than once that if we actually had a mostly impotent king, we could dispense with all the dumb pomp and ceremony associated with the Presidency, which does nobody any good. I certainly find the unfussiness of English transitions from one party to the opposition party to be pretty fucking enviable. but for the last forty years or so, I've been convinced that a Parliamentary system works a lot better than what we have here; the Constitution was written when there were no parties. this shit sucks
