39. His fucking job is being in the US Senate when it is in session so he can support the people

They don't give a shit about his stupid fucking livestream of total bullshit. Talk does NOTHING. Any fool can run his damned mouth.

VOTING IN THE SENATE DOES SOMETHING.

It's at least doing the bare minimum of what he's paid for--showing up and voting, since he can't be bothered to legislate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
