But wait. As we saw recently , the Navalny people claim the water bottle from Navalny's hotel room in Tomsk had novichok on it, but they took the bottle out of Russia. Which raises another question: At least one of Navalny's people, or maybe a hotel staff member, would have touched the bottle, and should now be dead. What's the real story? -- RF

Yes, it's apparent that Biden has a very low energy level. But I think Team Biden's plan is to set up a system that's something akin to a Dubya administration retread. In this scenario, Biden's job would be to read the teleprompter, perform meet-and-greet events for foreign dignitaries, and sign what is put in front of him. The real governing would be done by Harris and Deep State apparatchiks. Maybe I'm totally wrong, and they actually expect Biden to somehow beat back the fog. Perhaps both sides will refuse to concede, and the election circus will be followed by a coup, or a duel in the Rose Garden. Exciting times ahead! -- RF
