SocraticGadfly: "He is who we thought he is!" — Pres. Elect Joe Biden

"He is who we thought he is!" — Pres. Elect Joe Biden

With a riff on Dennis Green, ain't that the truth?

What might Joe Biden mean and do as president? 

Be a Zionist, incrementalist, neoliberal, maybe even a ConservaDem.

1. Nothing more than previous Dem presidents have meant for Palestinians, if the likes of Sen. Chris Murphy are in the lead for Secretary of State.

 2. We already know that, since he won't even discuss fracking, and since rejoining the Paris Accords means nothing since they're toothless Jell-o, he won't do much about climate change. As Barron's, no outpost of liberalism, puts it? He's about like BP.

3. Retirement? Biden does want to increase the income subject to Social Security taxation. Of course, in the past, he's also VIGOROUSLY supported partial privatization.

And, yes, it IS going to be president-elect Joe Biden. Trump isn't going to do an actual coup. It's just his normal titty-baby tantrum-throwing self with one last chance to bollix up the works.
