and that the builders seem to arrive on the scene just in time to repair things before the next destroyer comes along....
I dunno.

7. Probably Biden?

That’s what’s tripping me up. Biden is DEFINITELY the President, but I can’t figure out what’s “probably” true in this mind-bender.

8. Two possible patterns:

Jan 2021

One term, two terms, two terms, two terms, one term, meaning Biden is (if the pattern holds) likely to have two terms.

Or ...

Not impeached, impeached, not impeached, not impeached, impeached twice, meaning Biden is likely not to be impeached if the pattern holds.



I hope you have a good answer for this one, Stinky.

R, D, R, D, R, D and probably followed by a President of the opposition party, i.e a Republican.

If so, that’s a miserable pattern that I hope to break.

Also depressing is that the pattern of a Democratic president losing the House after two years will probably continue, fulfilling Republicans' goal of making government dysfunctional so they can run against the government.
