Even on his most ego-centric day, Biden is still a decent man, not a fascist, who believes in our constitution and the rule of law.

Holy hell, I can’t even echo Shirley’s concerns without Shirley calling bullshit on me.

But, I don't agree with your conclusion.

My "concern" is about Biden's ability to defeat Trump and be reelected, not his ability to preside over yet another excellent term.

so...are you saying.....you'd like.......choices?

and our lack thereof is a bad thing?

Thanks for the clarification, Shirley.

And fish, I dunno if it’s a false equivalency, cuz I dunno if it was an equivalency to begin with. Rather, it was meant to be a contrast, as indicated by the “not even.”

Well, you could just vote for a third party candidate…

What I'm "saying" is:

“Bees don't waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit”.

“Bees don't waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit”.

I only recently came upon it too, and was likewise surprised I hadn't heard it before.

When you search for an origin you get referred to a site on Face Book labeled: "African Proverbs", and also to a book by Willbur Glenn Colaco, Drops of Wisdom: Applying Ancient Words of Wisdom in Today's Turbulent Times

This, or a version of it, often accompanies the quote, but I chose not to include it:

(A metaphorical reminder not to waste time trying to convince people who are not open to listening or understanding.)

Haha well played.

We are 3rd-5th groups off on Sundays at our course. 6:46/6:54/7:02 every Sunday for as long as I can remember. The 2 groups of old guy members ahead of us play faster than any humans alive, so we barely see them after the first 2 or 3 holes.

Nice. I used to play 9 holes every Sunday morning with my father in law and two of his friends. We'd play the back nine so we never had anyone ahead of us or in front of us. It was glorious to play and never see another player the entire time.

Biden fumbles Zelensky introduction, calls him…

Getting to the point I am more concerned about what the chances are he finishes his term more than I am concerned with the chances are that he gets re-elected.

And, worse, just flubbed "Trump" in for "Harris".

I am confident in his ability to do the job.

I am not confident in his ability to win the job.

ability to do the job...you realize this job isn't exactly greeting customers at the front of Walmart, right?

Nicely played

holy shit dude

Know these traps you're so concerned about?

one of the biggest of all, I'm afraid, is this mindset like "everything I don't like is fake news."

And you seem as ensnared in it as much as anyone I've seen.
