119. Also, "For some reason." Have you heard the shit coming out against Biden from BS followers?

Spare me.

The reason, if you care, is that BS and his followers are helping Filthy Donnie. And we have all seen it before.

We are living in a maelstrom. We MUST defeat trump. We don't have time for BS's shit or his followers' demands for attention and participation prizes.

Get on the bus or get off, but quit standing in front of it.

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