The Washington Post and the New York Times have a (mostly second or third-hand) write-up of what is supposedly going on inside Biden’s head as he heads towards the exit.
According to the Times, Biden is spending a lot of time getting to know Pope Francis.
Mr. Biden is also going to the Holy See to seek solace and “relief” as he exits the world stage. Pope Francis, that person said, has become an ally and sounding board, trading occasional phone calls with Mr. Biden. Some of those conversations have been casual check-ins of the “Hey, how you doing?” variety.
They are both elderly leftists best known for speaking in word salads and wrecking formerly respected institutions. Maybe they can trade jobs for a week. No one will even notice.
According to the Post, Biden is “in a pensive, sometimes angry, mood as the end of his term approaches”.
Biden believes “he could have defeated Trump” and was disappointed that Attorney General Merrick Garland didn’t come hard enough after Trump.
