Where are the adults in the room?
When we talk about someone being “adult” these days, it’s usually by comparison to people who are technically adults but who act like children.
As I look at the people on the center stage of America now — the Republican clowns in the House, the childishly narcissistic Donald Trump, the juveniles on Fox News, the forever infantile Elon Musk, the fraudulent RFK Jr., the greedy CEOs who are raking in record compensation while refusing to raise the wages of their frontline workers, the spoiled financiers who want to make even bigger bets with other people’s money — I’m appalled at how few adults are in the room.
But there is at least one adult in the room — in the American room and the global room — and his name is Joe Biden
