He was a Shakesperean to the core.

And his portrayal of MacBeth was superb.

"Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Hamlet, (Act V, Scene II)

Nota Bene: The symphonic saturnalia on WQXR-FM starts at 0900 HRS; the NYC marathon starts in staggered fashion at 0940 HRS to allow the horde of runners room and time to complete the race.

The potential for a pardon from Senile Satan -- as pointed out by Reinheitsgebot -- is obvious. These three Israeli-Americans are filthy rich.

This is why NYS AG Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should be ready to prosecute and indict these three pit fiends with different NYS charges to avoid the legal stigma of "double jeopardy" and neutralize any federal pardon.

Moreover, damaging civil lawsuits should be started in both SDNY and EDNY (if JFKIA or LGA airports were used to traffick the victims).

This is a gumshoe or lawyer's dream case because the evidence has already been gathered and publicly available.

Years ago for a wealthy client, one of my PI friends easily followed the SDNY evidence against arch-goniff Bernie Madoff.

These three nasty kobolds should not be confused with these three benign siblings from yester-century.

The point of this OP wasn't to bash Joe Biden per se as he slowly nears "that undiscovered country from whence no man has returned," but to provide an insight into the mindset of conservative Pennsylvania where he grew up.

Joe Biden's previous insensitivity towards People of Color manifested itself in 2024 with his insensitivity towards the Palestinian people being slaughtered in Gaza wholesale by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF). It was no secret that the late Pope Francis disapproved of Biden's handling of Israel.

The midterm elections are right around the corner. Pennsylvania is basically a Red State sandwiched in-between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. We could see the right-wing nature of the state today with politicians like John Fetidman (D-Israel) or Josh Shapiro (D-Israel), staunch vanguards of AIPAC, ICE, and the status quo.

If one watches That Championship Season (1982), one could visualize Joe Biden as one of those white Catholic basketball players attending their annual reunion. In fact, one is a politician in a heated campaign which he may lose. These are the same bigots who would oppose desegregation and busing, as Kamala Harris pointed out about Senator Biden's 1970's record and his ability to "reach across the aisle" to white racist senators.

The corollary film to watch -- if one has time -- is the epochal movie The Deer Hunter (1978, directed by Michael Cimino). This movie depicts white patriotic blue collar Pennsylvanians during the Vietnam War.

As the tragedy of that useless war befell two of the patriotic Pennsylvanians in the film, in real life the tragedy of the useless Iraq War would later befall the son of POTUS Joe Biden, Beau, whose exposure to lethal carcinogens in the US military burn pits in Iraq led to his cancer.

Sometimes art can reflect life better than strict textbook political analysis.

No hard feelings towards anyone (even the Israeli and AIPAC stalkers who troll drudge.com).

"Run, Coriolanus, run!"

"Oh! My hair!"
