Something that bugs me about this scenario is that Bo and Luke Duke were bootleggers, not cowboys, so none of this even makes sense.
Hey, I saw you from across the bar…
Hey, I spent a lot of money. I’m not some nobody. Where’s my access!
Donors have complained that Biden’s team has barred them from asking questions even at small group events, unusual at high-dollar political fundraisers.
Tennis shoes are presidental?
Biden also sometimes wears tennis shoes and uses a shorter series of steps to Air Force One, to reduce the chances he might trip.
This tidbit is at the very end of the article.
At the White House nine days before the debate, four people who were present said they worried about the president’s fitness after observing him at a celebratory gathering to announce a new policy to help immigrants.
Under the sparkling chandeliers in the East Room on June 18, the president seemed off. He appeared frail as he navigated to the stage before the packed crowd of more than 100 people. He sometimes mumbled. In one jarring moment, he appeared to freeze while introducing Mayorkas, and then waved it off as a joke. A White House aide said the difficulty with Mayorkas’s name in that moment stemmed from Biden’s stutter.
Aides reportedly said it was Biden being Biden.
But others at the event said lawmakers and other attendees whispered concerns about Biden’s fitness over iced tea at the White House afterward, as a mariachi band played.
“Everyone talked about it with each other,” said a former Biden administration official who attended the event. “We were all like ‘That was horrible. We’re going to lose the election.’”
An advocate who was in the room recalled saying to others after the event, “he’s not going to make it four more years,” adding “he’s walking like an old man.”
“I was in shock,” the person said. “It was like I was seeing something nobody else was seeing. … It was so obvious to me.”

The former Biden official was struck by the moments the president seemed less like himself and worried about what it would mean about his ability to take on Trump. The former official came away from the event thinking to themselves: “I don’t know how that man’s going to debate next week.”
I don’t know if he’s American but many people have the POV like the American mindset. Everything is a capitalistic competition. So - particularly if somebody gets something free - they are “cheating” somehow. And - of course - the angry person is even angrier if the people involved are an other so there’s misogyny, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.
It gets weirder the richer the angry person is. Even billionaires get mad this way and they’re winning capitalism by a score of 100,000s of times more than the average person but it’s not enough. Nothing is ever enough.
The reboot of An American Werewolf in London looks petrifying.
