Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

That admin was such a fucking firehose of insanity, we all have to forgive ourselves for not being able to retain big chunks of it.

I *still* don't remember this one. Doesn't even sound familiar.

I've basically accepted that I will spend my twilight years filling in the gaps in my memory of how fucked-up 2017-2021 was.

And once we start needing Executive Time, no one will believe the true stories we tell…

That’s an optimistic scenario where things haven’t continued to get incrementally worse. Maybe stories from TFG’s first term will seem quaint then, if we’re even allowed to discuss them.
