Looks like it could be an elegant nursing home for Biden!
Of course I am only seeing a small portion, so I am not being totally fair. But what I do see gives me the impression I stated above.

GIANT campaign money bonfires everywhere you look on the Democrat side!
Meanwhile, Joke Walsh, Bill Swelled and Disappearin' Barf Sanford are getting Washingtons and Lincolns for their "burgeoning" campaigns. :)
