Tangentially related to concussions and mental ability: I think that if we had not been so distracted by Biden's obvious dementia we might have noticed more the decline in Trump's cognitive ability over the past eight years.

More than usually I am hoping for divided government, with the hope that each side can control the excesses of the other side. Sort of sad to be hoping not for good things, but just for less bad.--But perhaps that is how it has always been for us old, lamenting the ways of the young.

I was also hoping for that so it is unsettling that that is not what we ended up with. I hope I'm overestimating the potential downsides

The January 6 event was bad enough, but don’t forget the 2 months of complete BS that our former president put the country through leading up to it. We had the 60 bogus lawsuits, we had the fake electors, we had the release of the “Kraken“.

On the plus side of forgetting, did you see the charming movie “Yesterday”? In that movie, a wannabe music star wakes up one morning and learns that the entire world has forgotten the songs of the Beatles. He uniquely remembers the songs, and once he begins performing them fame, glory and transformation follow.
