    You can blame the mainstream media and the gullible people that fall for their BS.

    Sane people have known Joe has been toast for a couple of years now. Welcome to the party.

  • @cdarwine2004
    He's been a puppet for to long. He needs to step aside. He is not running the country, someone else is.
  • For a guy with a cold he immediately went to a Waffle House to press the flesh and the cold was literally gone the next day.

    Putin and Xi must be pinching themselves to make sure they are not dreaming: "is this the leader of the free world???"
  • It’s been happening repeatedly for the last 4 years, why is everyone just noticing now?
  • @sephiroth7818
    It's time for Joe to retire and go home and enjoy his ice cream. Nancy should retire also.
  • @lflint3278
    They all look 1,000 years old. US government literally on life support. 😢
  • It's as hard for Blue MAGA to accept reality as it is for Red MAGA. I don't believe it will happen.
