Obvious disinformation. 3 + 2 does not equal 6 until the CDC says it does.

Oh c’mon! biden jokes are old AND new, stale AND fresh, so good they’re bad and so bad they’re good. As this guy speaks and breaths he creates more and more of them. whether physical visceral comedy or asinine mind-boggling spoken jokes, this guy is the biggest producer of the kind of joke material every real comic would die for! C’mon man! You can’t keep the nation’s largest treasure trove of comedic gold hidden and get away with it. biden not only represents the best of the best of how stupid people lay the foundations for great comedy....why, he IS the joke!

Sure it does! It's one more than 2+2, which equals 5! Just ask Winston Smith...

If FB wants to ban the Joe Joke, it needs to start the drumbeat for impeachment.
