<b>An explosive account of one of the most hubristic mistakes in American political history: Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection despite mounting evidence of his decline, and his team's increasingly desperate efforts to hide it.</b><br/><br/><i>In Greek tragedy, the protagonist's effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.</i><br/><br/>Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump term. He, his family and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on 28 June 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed - all but dooming the Democrats to defeat later that year.<br/><br/>Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Here, two of America's best-respected political journalists take us behind closed doors to reveal the extent of Biden's decline and who knew about it, from White House staffers to senators to Hollywood celebrities. They paint President Biden's decision to run for re-election as shockingly narcissistic, delusional and reckless - and the wider cover-up as an act of unprecedented public deception. Rarely has hubris met nemesis so explosively.<br/><br/>The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will endure for decades. In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, marking the beginning of a remarkable campaign of denial and gaslighting against the American public. His decision to run again was the original sin of his precedency - the moment that led directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has come since.

SUCCÈN FRÅN GIFT VID FÖRSTA ÖGONKASTET <br/><br/>Sex i en ask är tre kortlekar som förändrar din syn på sex och sexualitet i grunden. De är framtagna av sexinspiratören Marika Smith, författare till <i>Buffésex det nya sättet att ligga som ändrar ALLT </i>och sexualupplysaren och spelkonstruktören Kristoffer Lindh.  <br/><br/>- En kortlek med noga utvalda frågor som lockar till nyfikna, utforskande och roliga samtal om sex, både i allmänhet, i den egna sexualiteten och det gemensamma sexlivet med en partner. Att bli bekväm med att prata om sex är en viktig nyckel till ett samliv som lever och utvecklas, och håller sig kreativt och dynamiskt.<br/><br/>- En kortlek består av coachande frågor om sex, där du genom att fundera, prata om och svara på frågorna kan coacha dig själv eller någon annan till nya perspektiv på sexuella problem eller sånt du är nyfiken på men inte vet hur du ska ta dig an. Du får hjälp att kartlägga din sexualitet och hur den fungerar, ta reda på vad du vill och gillar, och mycket mer.<br/><br/>- En kortlek är ett lekspel där parterna får uppfinna nya sätt att beröra varandra och bredda sin sexuella och sensuella repertoar på en enkelt och kravlöst sätt. Att släppa prestationsfokuset är en förutsättning för det lättsamma, lekfulla sex som så många längtar efter och som skapar mer lust och samhörighet mellan parterna.<br/><br/>Kortlekarna är förpackade i en vacker ask som pryder sin plats i såväl bokhyllan som på nattduksbordet.
