When I was a wee little Pejboy, back in 1987, the Senate Judiciary Committee, under the chairmanship of Senator Joe Biden, rejected the nomination of Robert Bork to the United States Supreme Court, with the full United States Senate following shortly thereafter.

As I have mentioned many a time, I identified as a Republican from 1984-2016--and I trust we all know why I *stopped* identifying as a Republican in 2016--and I was really mad that Bork got rejected, and I much of my wrath fell on the person of Joe Biden for having helped bring

about the rejection of Bork's nomination.

If you could go back in time to 1987 and tell my wee little Pejboy self that in 2020, I would want Joe Biden to win the presidency more fervently than I have wanted *anyone* to win the presidency in my lifetime, my wee little Pejboy self

would have flipped you the bird and told you to get the everlasting Hell out of town.

But now, we have a pandemic that as of this writing has killed 103,330 people, with no end to the infections or the deaths in sight. We have 40 million people who have lost their jobs over a

period of two months. And as of this evening, both Minneapolis and Louisville are on fire, because we as a society insist on treating African-Americans like second-class citizens, and we also insist on turning a blind eye to the rage and the pain our callousness and insensitivity

as a country has historically caused within the African-American community.

The tweets found below constitute the reaction of the president of the United States to all of this wreckage and devastation. And that reaction is as predictable as it is nausea-inducing.

We have a president who cares more about his re-election than he does about racial justice and harmony, bringing a peaceful end to riots, and ending a pandemic. We have a president who is more exercised about the fact that Twitter has called him out for being a liar than he is

about the fact that over one hundred thousand Americans have died on his watch, and the fact that his inaction and incompetence have brought about a Greater Depression to further torment us. We have a president who uniquely combines in his disgusting and reprehensible person a

pronounced stupidity, ignorance and lack of curiosity--the likes of which we have never seen in *anyone,* let alone a president of the United States. We have a president who is more corrupt--by *far*--than anyone else who has held his job. We have a president who is crueler than

anyone in American history to whom we have entrusted the White House; a president who deals body blow, after body blow to the American body politic time, after time, after time, after time, and who does so with a sense of sadism and malice that never, ever, *ever* stops being an

integral and foundational part of his toxic personality. We have a president who lies and has lied more than anyone else in American political history; indeed, a president who lies with a breathtaking lack of conscience, remorse or moral hesitation and will say *anything,* no

matter how ridiculous and insulting, in order to give himself a short-term political victory, regardless of the long-term consequences to himself, and more importantly, to our country. We have a president with an unrivaled genius for doing the absolute wrong thing, at the

absolute *worst* possible time, and who exercises that particular malevolent genius at *each* and *every* worst possible time of *each* and *every* crisis thrust upon us.

All of this should enrage you. Our country is being destroyed before our very eyes.

I implore each and every one of you to save America before it is too late. If at all possible, give to Joe Biden's campaign. And on Election Day, *definitely* vote for him. I don't care if he isn't a perfect candidate by your reckoning. He isn't a perfect candidate by *my*

reckoning either. My wee little Pejboy self wouldn't have even *remotely* considered Joe Biden as a plausible presidential candidate, let alone the presidential candidate for whom I would root harder than I have rooted for any general election candidate in my lifetime. But the

president who in his vile inauguration address purported to promise that he would put an end to "American carnage" is now inflicting carnage on this country to an extent that none of us--not even those of us who *knew* from the *outset* that Donald Trump would be a uniquely

horrible president--could have ever anticipated.

And we need to make the carnage stop.

For the record, I don't apologize for how I felt back in 1987. But I will be damned if I let the events of 1987 blind me from understanding what absolutely needs to be done in 2020 in

order to end the nightmare in which we find ourselves.

Joe Biden for President. If you can, give him money. And this November, do the right and responsible thing, and give him your vote. The fate of the country is in your hands. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/biden_gsdd_a?refcode=om_gs_launch_d2d_donate&utm_medium=om&utm_source=gs&utm_campaign=20190425launch_d2d_donate&utm_content=x&utm_term=G1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwr32BRD4ARIsAAJNf_0ID4q3X64v9TiXHeDUgLqSpLQLkmrINFiek9epXD-dqBDXGEjKHXEaAndcEALw_wcB
