We are making campaign stops on the Biden Harris Express. I love riding by train. Who doesn’t? I even like to watch trains. I could watch train videos all day. And let my mind go blank. Blanker, maybe, ha ha.
One of my staffers, from California keeps referring to the Amtrak we are on as “The Sleep Train”. So I asked her why.
She says there is or was, not sure, a super cool arena in Sacramento called Sleep Train Arena. She explained that the Sac Kings played there. She blabbered about some kid named Tyus Edney who apparently is/was some kind of cult hero for the Kings and had some kind of super famous NCAA Basketball moment at UCLA something … blah blah… bottom line – it’s an Arena in Sacramento. Fun fact, also, it was turned into a temporary COVID-19 response hospital by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Trump response and preparation for COVID-19 patients. Supporting CA. Don’t let that get out. I keep saying he did nothing.
She assured me it has nothing to do with my nickname, Sleepy Joe. She also assured me she believes the campaign stops we are making are super exciting and the audience always looks very awake and not at all sleepy themselves after listening to my platitudes.
And then I thanked her and asked her how she felt overall. She said something like “Joe, you’re the Democratic Party as you said” and described her feeling “ennui” – definitely that was the word she used. I think that means she thinks I’m very cool. Hip, maybe?
She’s ennui. I am the Democratic Party. Choo choo!
Come on, man.
When asked to tell a white supremacist hate group to stand down, Trump instead told them to stand by. I’d take a “boring” president over a president that encourages violent hatred any day of the fucking week.
