- Reposted by CblodgIf you're hocking a book on the Biden thing, or if you are the publisher of a major news organization whose defense of "free press" includes a "gotta hand it to Trump" for being more available than Biden: fuck you. Kindly leave public life forever, you absolutely worthless self-serving scum.
- I am going to be as perfectly real as I can: Getting the House should be easy. Getting the Senate is gonna be a haul. Even if Ds got both, there will NEVER be enough Senate votes to convict and remove. This isn't the R party that was ready to throw out Nixon - it is a cult.

Just ugly, ugly stuff.

- Former President Joe Biden's physical deterioration was severe enough that aides discussed putting him in a wheelchair if he won a second term, new book says: cnn.it/457f2vV
- Reposted by Cblodgthis is a profoundly misleading framing of what the article itself says! "Biden’s personal physician [...] privately warned the president’s team that if Biden had a bad fall in 2023 or 2024, “a wheelchair might be necessary for what could be a difficult recovery,” Tapper and Thompson report."

- Technically speaking, all gifts given to a president are accepted on behalf of the nation. They are appraised and accessioned. If a president wishes to keep a gift, they have to pay fair market value for the item. We all know he ain't paying a dime for Swamp Force One. There's you're corruption
