A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

It turns out that many people remember Morris and Biden interacting at the pool, even if they can't verify the specifics of Biden's retelling, The Washington Post reports. Even if they never did almost fight, sources do recall the two eventually hitting it off. The late Morris' family also remembers Morris talking about the Democratic presidential candidate. His son, Leon Morris, reportedly has no issue with Biden telling the story; he just doesn't want his father, whom he said was a "kindhearted man" to get a bad reputation because of it.

In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

As I have a long personal experience with "story-tellers" like Biden, I'm going to assume that certain aspects of the story are true, but the vast majority of the story is wrong and biased in such a way as to make Biden look good.

Additionally, you'll notice I didn't say he was lying. I said he was wrong. He likely remembers the story in the way he tells it because he's the hero in every story in his own mind.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
