It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap....

"Inside the hall, the three presidents sat in matching white armchairs and took the stage to strains of 'Born to Run' by Bruce Springsteen, the unofficial bard of the Democratic Party...."

I'm reading "4 Presidents, 2 Events and a Preview of Campaign Clashes to Come/President Biden raised $25 million at a Radio City Music Hall event, adding to his huge cash edge, after Donald Trump pushed his law-and-order message at a wake for a police officer killed on duty" (NYT).

Three Presidents were sitting in white armchairs before people who'd paid up to $500,000 apiece to sit in the audience in the most beautiful theater in the country. The comments over there are mostly about the fourth President. That guy, Mr. Trump, steals focus from everything.

Also stealing attention were the protesters at the 3-Presidents event. They were shouting "blood on your hands." Obama chided them: "You can’t just talk and not listen. That’s what the other side does." Seems to me protesters on Obama's side have interrupted more speeches than those on the other side. But it's subjective, and the old adage is as true as ever: All the assholes are over on the other side.

Biden had his decently well-thought-out line: "It’s understandable Israel has such a profound anger and Hamas is still there. But we must, in fact, stop the effort that is resulting in significant deaths of innocent civilians, particularly children." But that's the kind of statement that infuriates those committed to ending a war."

But we must, in fact, stop the effort that is resulting in significant deaths of innocent civilians, particularly children." But that's the kind of statement that infuriates those committed to ending a war.

Also well-thought-out — and utterly incapable of appeasing the protesters — was the closing visual joke: "Mr. Colbert, Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama put on aviator sunglasses as their 'impression' of the president." Then Biden said he "loves two things: Ray-Ban sunglasses and ice cream."

Biden thinks he was born to run, but he can barely walk.

They may be of the same team, but he seems more comfortable by himself. He may also have health issues that is not talked about.

He is getting to be 80 years of age.

As if there is something wrong with law and order.

Or protesters, complaining that Springsteen’s (Springstein?) drummer is Jewish?
