The problem with moderate Dem a-holes like Joe Biden

Filed in National by on July 6, 2019 4 Comments

The problem is that they cede way too much power and authority to the idiots and buffoons in the GOP. Trump’s idiocy and buffonery isn’t new. The GOP has been chock-a-block full of buffoons and idiots for my entire lifetime.

Tom Carper’s AI generated Independence Day email logarithm

What to make of this? I think the best explaination is that it is a “weekend at Bernies” situation in which Carper’s staff is trying to give the impression that Tom Carper is still alive.
