    September 2019

    Mentioning states that would likely be impacted by the storm, he incorrectly included Alabama, which by then was known not to be under threat from the storm. Over the following week, the President repeatedly insisted his comment had been correct. On September 4, he showed reporters a weather map which had been altered with a black Sharpie marker to show the hurricane’s track threatening Alabama. He also reportedly ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction of the weather bureau’s comment that the storm was not headed for Alabama.

    When asked by reporters how the Sharpie marker ended up on the printed map, Trump said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.”

    While I don’t disagree that Biden ought to retire and spend his time doing something else, any reasonable person should realize the other guy is not a better choice.

    The ideological downvoters can never admit Joe has been a potato for years, before the election, when he wouldn’t leave his basement to campaign, because his handlers knew his mental stare would be so clearly exposed by a debate.

    Imagine if a Republican had done the same. The hypocrites would’ve eaten him alive (justifiably).
