And now you have the leader of the free world as a criminal selling American influence to his family

Get a grip. I doubt any politician has not benefitted in some way. Doesn't make it right, but that's what you'd expect from a career guy like Biden. You think Jared, Ivanka and the other Jr Trump's haven't benefitted immensely from this and that their situations don't come with expectations of access to their father?  Get real.

Go ahead and find anything on par with what the Bidens have done.  Dont post that stupid licensing BS in China also.  Trump family has to do that because Chinese government doesnt regulate the knock off market

Are you even going to give Biden a shot? 

The conservatives are still waiting for the left to give Trump a “shot”. It’s only been 4 years.

Part of me is glad the asshole is gone. 


Part of me realizes the assholes actual policies are better for the economy than what Biden/Harris has said theirs would be, and that isn’t even close. 


I hope it goes well, and this election was definitely a “we like conservatives but don’t like Trump” election. 


Gained house seats and kept the senate in a cycle that wasn’t great for Rs in the senate.

LOL, OK.....yeah, fantastic WWE-style entrance.  I thought maybe you were referring to Trump stumbling down the plank exiting the carrier.

Biden DID look pretty spritely jogging there.  I think we all wish to have that mobility at 78.

Pretty spot on.  It would have been fun to see heads explode, but that novelty wore-off a few years ago.

As long as Repubs hold the Senate, I really don't give a shit.  More crying that we've become accustomed to over the past 14+ years while absolutely nothing changes for 99% of the country.

Yes, that’s what I meant. 

And LOL at your WWF entrance comparison!  😆

Agreed plus it’s pretty nice to see Dems turning on AOC and blaming her and the squad for losing house seats

Yeah, haven't seen that.  I've seen some dissension among the ranks, and it would be fantastic if moderates boot out Pelosi.

But the Establishment is going to curb-stomp AOC pretty soon.

The election really doesn't tell us much, but there's plenty of meat on the bone for pretty much everyone to find a mandate.  IMO - my takeaway - identity politics is losing more ground.  And socialism is losing more ground.

She did an interview Saturday basically saying she may quit politics if her party isn’t nicer to her. Then she said the losses were t because of her but lack of digital ads.

LMFAO....To be honest, that sounds A LOT like a public salary negotiation with CNN or MSNBC.  The only reason she hasn't pulled that trigger is she's trying to figure out if she has a path to VP or POTUS, which offer like 10X the pay day.

Only in America can a dumbass bartender parlay alarmism and sensationalism into an 8-figure payday.

My favorite was where she said she’s equally serious about starting a homestead as she is about running for higher office. Dramatic much?

So the president is an asshole?  Subjective in every measure.  Also I love that the president all of a sudden has an affect on people at the personal level.  Trump policies have never negatively affected anyone in the US.

I also admire the amount of mental blindness it takes to open a four-sentence post with two sentences about using subjective claims and then finishing with their own hilariously over-the-top subjective claim.
