No One Will Beat Trump Whose Only Offering Is That He's Not As Bad As Trump Is
Biden is such a effing mess, that his latest bullshit just moved me to call him Biden-- which I’ve been avoiding since he announced his desperate end of life candidacy-- instead of the preferred Status Quo Joe. Just as Democrats are making some headway in getting Moscow Mitch to consider calling some witnesses for Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, Biden had to go give him and Trump the ammo they were waiting for to back away. Can’t this asshole learn to keep him mouth shut while he’s still a candidate people are paying attention to? He told the *Des Moines Register* editorial boar... more »
