I was in an accident the other day and during the ambulance ride to the hospital, I was asked several different questions. One was, who is the president. I told them it depends on who you speak with, but I am going with Biden.

I spent nearly 8 hours at the hospital. Half the time I was crying in pain. Thanks to the opioid epidemic, I was sent home after taking a couple of Motrin and a Valium. (They said Valium would help with the spasms, even though it is known for anxiety. When I mentioned Soma relaxes you, I got a snark). I did not get a prescription of any kind. I was told to keep taking Motrin!!! I have dizziness, headaches and pain and burning. Motrin does not help!!!

...you misunderstand...we don't have elections, we have cheating contests...

...elections lead to majority rule and are to be avoided...

...it says so in my American Exceptionalism handbook...

we have 2 democratic senators that are intent on thwarting Biden’s agenda. I don’t know what we can do about that other than bribe them, maybe. Manchin is the best we can do in that state but Sinema can and should be primaried. Arizona is a purple state and can do much better.

Both are very well suited for those things, and could deliver tons of jobs and votes. Not too excited about helping these toads get re-elected, but we'd also at the same time be improving our chances to take other seats and make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

the vast majority of state Houses. We have a functional House of Representatives run by an exceptional Speaker. We have the Senate, no comment.

We have an exceptional president who is governing for the people.
