You think people wouldn't question Biden's fitness for office? Hell, we heard it already, back before Biden dropped out but when people were still wanting him to, and there were those that were saying, "if Biden isn't capable of campaigning or serving a second term, how is he capable of being president right now?"

To think at how many in the media (or in charge of the media) we have watched either happily and eagerly or reluctantly roll over for this fascist administration, you think they would have gone easy on Biden regardless of what he did?
