So much for “experts” on the American presidents.
One of the things that I find infuriating is the worship of bill passing, as though the only job of presidents and Congresses is to pass bills, completely ignoring whether or not the legislation is good, or terrible. Biden’s touted “accomplishments” are the passage of disastrous legislation (when it’s not unconsitutionally ignoring Congress altogether to do terrible things).
They want America to become more like it, even as it declines.

Former "friends" turned on her, writing things like, “Judith Curry abandons science.”
Did she? Here's my full interview with her: pic.twitter.com/yQBtWnC5ZJ

The left protests always trash the place, while the Tea Party rallies always left them cleaner than they arrived.
We’ve been hearing these kinds of stories for a while now. I don’t think it mentions it here, but I saw another story that reported when she was California AG, she would demand that her staff greet her every morning with “Good morning, General!” I have no trouble believing it, both because it matches other stories about her ego, and stories about her intelligence.
One of my pet peeves is people (including media types) addressing a Surgeon General or Attorney General, as “General So-and-So.” “General” is the adjective, not the noun. Morons.

How is it that this woman is “Acting President”?
It has been credibly reported that they threatened him with the 25th Amendment if he didn’t drop out of the race. So if that’s true, and they don’t believe that he’s not competent, but removed him anyway, then that would have been a coup. If they do believe he’s not competent, then they have a Constitutional duty to remove him. Either way, this is not “saving our democracy.”
Make up your minds. He can’t be Schroedinger’s President.
