even here, that it is 100% Biden's fault and that he was terrible in every way.

He wasn't my first choice in 2020, he wasn't my 5th, but he blew my expectations out of the water. He was a great president, even with the press almost all against him from day one.

Meanwhile, that same press corps acts like the Felon is the emperor and spend all of their time praising him.

Biden touched the real third rail: he suggested taxing the rich.
