“Years ago now — 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that is outside of our home — not on a lake, a big pond,” Biden said.
“And it hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, air conditioning ducts. And to make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette and my cat.”
lmao. As I read the headline, even though it's Biden, the abstract idea of an old man trying to console people and being told to fuck off still made me feel bad. I imagined some grandfatherly figure bereft of words, feeling helpless, just saying in a quiet voice "ok" as he shuffles away.
