Highlights: Joe Biden and top aides have discussed the likelihood that Benjamin Netanyahu’s political days are numbered — and the president has conveyed that sentiment to the Israeli prime minister in a recent conversation.

Biden has gone so far as to suggest to Netanyahu that he should think about lessons he would share with his eventual successor, the two administration officials added.

    For lots of Americans, casting a ballot can take hours after a full day of work.

    With the recent (last ten years) political silliness, I’ve started to schedule election day(s) off each year.

    But I want to talk about something you may not know, or didn’t mention, that makes your point even more important. In some places, the polling place/election booths are literally in the lobby of an old folks home.

    What this means, is while you and I and all the working people in this country have to schedule time off, and work around their jobs to vote, Ethel, who can barely walk, doesn’t remember her kid’s names, and thinks Gerald Ford is the current president gets to just drive her Rascal down to the lobby to vote. And it’s easy to sway the people in the retirement home with conservative talking points.
