Out of the Blue [Dec 19, 2020, 3:53 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
We finally got the roadside assistance guy out to jumpstart MrsBlue's dead car,
so it was homeside assistance in this case. He got it started, and confirmed
what we suspected, that the battery was basically shot. So rather than let it
idle to try and recharge the battery, I just drove it to the auto parts store
and replaced the battery. It's now working right again, and it's nice to have
confidence in it, especially in winter weather. Thankfully it died in front of
our house where it was easy enough to deal with, rather than leaving us stranded
somewhere.

Not crazy, just a sociopath... okay, whatever.
I think the concerns over Trump causing WWIII were overblown, but I'd agree the chances with Pence for that would be reduced. Pence's danger comes from the fact he isn't just a popular TV star -- as I said, he is a practiced politician. He knows how to play the game. Half the things Trump tried to do failed simply because he did them so badly. He had no idea how things worked or what the limitations of the presidency were. And he wouldn't listen to his advisors, he insisted on doing things his way. Pence could have done all those things correctly and probably gotten them done. Believe me, Pence is far more dangerous...
