Those Who Forget Ignore the Past . . . . 0

Past Sparky to Sparky:  Hello, I'm from the past.  I just time-traveled here from January 6, 2021.  Sparky:  Wow!  But if you're me, why don't I remember doing this?  Past Sparky:  I dunno.  Time travel is weird.  Maybe one of us stepped on a butterfly or something.  Best not to think about is.  Sparky:  Makes sense,  What can I do for you?  Past Sparky:  I just finished watching Trump try to overthrow the government and I was curious how that worked out for him.  Sparky:  Uh, well. he might be president again next year.  Past Sparky:  What?  How is that even a possibility?  Surely he was convicted in the Seante after a quick impeachment and disqualified from ever holding office again.  Sparky:  Ah, yeah, no, in fact, McConnell just endorsed him for re-election.  Past Sparky:  Huh, well--I assume he faced federal charges for his attemp to subvert the election?  Sparky:  Yeah, eventually, but now that case is on hold pending a Supreme Court decision--most likelhy postponing the trial until after this election is over.  Past Sparky:  Okay, but with all that hanging over his head, it's going to be pretty hard for him to win the primaries, isn't it?  Sparky:  Actually, it's been super easy--barely an inconvenience.  And he's polling slightly ahead of Biden in the general.  Past Sparky:  Well, this explains why you don't remember me.  Clearly I've been accidentally traveled to a dystopian alternative time-line that we must avoid at all costs.  Sparky:  Sure, good luck with that.  Past Sparky Two appears:  Hey, guys.  I'm from 2006.  Is George W. Bush an international pariah by now?
