Just like 2020, his campaigning was literally non existent yet got more votes than any president in history. HIs debate was a complete catastrophe and his memory leaks like a pasta strainer. I'd like to know who the real 46 potus was because Biden is just just an old man looking for a bed and some choco chip ice cream. 25 of his own party heads are asking for his resignation and they wont even announce their official candidate because they don't really have one!

Cloistering Biden is just a ploy for Skynet to take direct control of the presidency and use AI generated video of Biden for his addresses to the public.

Nah he's gonna drop out. The dems will probably try to replace him with Gavin Newsome. It's the only other candidate that agrees with their platform of selling out America, cutting off weiners and murdering babies.

To give due credit to the Dem platform, the years of accumulated privately funded research into group psychology is really paying off at pushing "Neuter yourself and work for free." Getting people to burn cities because they can't neuter themselves, and each other, and work for free (CHOP/CHAZ, for example,) is mad scientist level evil genius.

Hope this insult was aimed at me. Considering the source, it is a huge compliment. Thank you (if it was?).

Camel Toe Harris is just the kind of gal I think many of us could jump on a crazy train with for the sake of Texan Independence. It's a guarantee that she will do twice as much for that cause than Biden has already done in 4 short years.

He will probably be suicided just like the others that no longer served the snowflake narrative before him.

Might see someone take a shot at him at the DNC so that the dems can try to water down TRUMPS attempted assassination and get the big guy finished up, 2 bird one stone knda thang.

Dems have a history of eating their own anyway.
