Rob Honeycutt: Yeah, perhaps evolution hasn’t fully prepared us for moments like these.

as much as i think that debate was bad for biden i also find myself contemptuous of the assorted libs having a full blown panic attack

i find it unbecoming

When you see the ship is headed for the iceberg, sometimes maybe it’s okay to panic a little.

ah yes, the best time to panic is when you are entering treacherous waters

Yeah, perhaps evolution hasn’t fully prepared us for moments like these.

Hi, actual sailor here, that’s actually the time not to panic. Panicking just gets you killed.

Good point. But perhaps after some initial panic it’s time to make significant alternative plans.

Well, to take the maritime allegory one step further: in a crisis at sea, the only resources you have are the ones you brought with you. No one’s bringing you additional options, no matter how much wishful thinking you do.

Truly an incredible analogy.

what about the wellerman?

Historically, the wellerman’s the member of the crew appointed to dole out the day’s ration of grog/rum/wine/ale/tea/coffee etc.

oh I thought it was a supply ship of some sort. a magical one in the case of that song

Now is when I point out there is an entire system in place for such an event as a president no longer being able to carry out their duties. There is a whole other person prepared to take over, not to mention that Biden has an entire government infrastructure that is not populated by insane people.

A potato makes a good plug. If you got one.
