The Different Drummer

One Old Guy Out. One To Go?

The GOP successfully pushed a narrative that Biden is too old to be reelected. Will they now hold a 78-year-old Trump to the same standards?

“We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

– Nikki Haley, February 2021

The look on Biden’s face during the presidential debate was one that I was very familiar with…

My Dad was a workaholic who usually came home from work hours after the rest of the family had finished dinner. On nights when I saw his car pull into the driveway, I would head for the front door and wait for his key to open the first lock. Then as he put it into the second one I would quietly relock the first one. He nudged the door but it would not open.

“Damn,” I would hear my Dad exclaim just as he once again put the key into the deadbolt and turned it. The knob would turn but the door would not budge. I had already relocked its companion.
