The Lightness Of The Dark

By Baxter

Team Biden-Harris does a lot of things right, and one of them is embracing the whole "Brandon" meme — even though, yes, it's silly. (If you have to explain the back story, it's too much of a reach.)

But never mind — it's clearly gotten under Republicans' skins. Did you see how miffed they were when Joe posed with a Dark Brandon coffee mug? Trump's legal team even put it in a court filing!

Now, these images are going up on billboards in Milwaukee, just in time for the GOP debate there tonight, and will be included in a digital ad on FoxNews.com. Well done! Joe's not only trolling the Republican candidates on Brandon, but he's reminding them of their biggest political weakness, the loss of Roe — for which voters have been punishing them again and again.

Back in the day, a political scientist from Duke University posited that you could predict a POTUS's performance based on the President's character. One element of the formula was whether the President enjoyed, well, being President. (FDR did, Nixon didn't.) Pretty safe to say that Joe Biden loves his job. That might drive the Trumpsters and Republicans more crazy than anything else. We cats PURR.
