We really do need to be honest about whether the current president and vp have the moral standards

needed to do the job.

They are fighting against every American law, institution, and tradition. They are ignoring the courts. They go around Congress. Clearly neither one is fit for the highest office in our country.

Let's be honest about it. We went from a high integrity presidency to a no integrity presidency.

I have to admit that I'm feeling pretty discouraged today about our lack of response to all this Biden hysteria and especially the lack of offense. C'mon, Dems, I thought you were finally starting to get it!

Getting the media to go after trump. Think about it, if you are a young reporter you have so much push back on going after republicans. If you write a bad story about trump you have your career ended possibly. He is going to threaten the people who talked to you, ran the story, etc.

So you end up with smear rag books against Biden being old because its easy money. Narcassists. All of them. Trump threatens you via your money stream, your career, the people around you, etc. What is Biden going to do? Not send you a Christmas card? The media and corporations are to blame for a lot of this, but that story wouldnt make it past your first in line management at this point.

Anyone who suffered through the first four years of Trump and thinks that he DOES HAVE moral standards would need to have their head examined.

We went from silk pajamas to a dirty hospital gown.

enabled by shitty people, and voted for by shitty people.

THAT's what we have to come to grips with. Morals never entered into it. It's in our DNA to elevate the turds we now have in office. This is peak America.
