Like most people I can’t stand Biden. I hold my finger on the MUTE whenever there is a chance the sob will come up on my screen.

However, I don’t think he deserves all the blame or even 51%.

The radicalized marxist/socialist/baby killing Democratic Party deserves 99%. Biden is 1 %. In my opinion. The put him where he is............along with some RINO’s.

Count me in. No only inflation, but the wholesale destruction of my industry from kung flu lock downs, and the forced “green” revolution.

Lol! We know, The Hill. We know.

People are still free to learn Chinese and move to China. Except for their vicious racism the person might still be able to work there.

It’s a twofer for Deep State.

Gets rid of competition while annihilating the middle class.
