Look folks, I will admit that I am an 80's kid and we could not give a flying fuck about the past before we were even conceived.
The times have changed now. I know you guys don't like it, but it is the truth. Do yourself a big favor and stop thinking like you are in the past and live in the present.
Bottom line is that if you want to move forward, stop thinking like a dinosaur because those days are long gone, so get with today and forget yesterday.

And if you didn't live through it, reading about it is the next best thing. This is why I hold esteemed board members Texas Contrarian and Lusty Lad in high regard, when it comes to economics and markets, and certain others here on subjects like foreign policy and history. They may not have lived through it, but they've read about it.
As to the matter at hand presented by ICU, yes, if Biden were close to death, but still lucid, some Democrats might be angling to replace Kamala Harris. But the much more likely scenario would be that she serves through to the end of the term and then there's a scramble for the Democratic nomination for the presidency.
All I ask for is a president who doesn't have to wear depends. I believe that is a good way to move forward. It looks like that won't be happening again... battle of the geezers part two coming to a theatre near you.
