I wrote the post on our Worst First First Ever last night over the whole day, which was (sadly, as usual) scattered and full of disasters and distractions, including a Zoom legal ethics seminar that ate up three exhausting hours and had just 12 attendees, meaning that it barely paid for half of my grocery bill later in the day. (But the great William Saroyan said that if only one human being sings your song, your life has meaning, so there’s that.) This morning my 5 hours of sleep had be a bit more focused, so I have additional ethics-related thoughts:

1. See? I’m smart! I’m not dumb like everybody says! I had forgotten how directly Ethics Alarms flagged Joe’s creeping dementia before the election in 2020. Then, as is my wont, I typoed the wrong year into the post, making 2020 into 2024 twice. Maybe I’m not so smart. Anyway, it’s fixed. And may I add, WOW. If it was this obvious in 2020 that Joe was turning into a rutabaga, it’s even more scandalous how completely the Axis media covered for him so they could get rid of the Terrible Orange Man Who Doesn’t Like Illegal Immigrants.

Don’t tell me that there is “no evidence to support Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.” That fact by itself is evidence.

2. Incidentally, those two posts reminded me how Trump partially has himself to blame for his loss, because he refused to participate in the planned third debate. Every time Joe was on camera and live, there was an appreciable chance that he would start reciting “Hiawatha” in Esperanto. Trump botched the first debate by blathering on and not letting Biden talk enough to make a fool of himself, skipped debate #2, and finally settled down by the last debate. But he might have set up Joe say he “beat Medicare” in 2020.
