I know how organized the “pass the torch” anti Biden movement was within the press circles. I’m not in DC nor member of WHCA now, but given this, I can only assume how organized this whole anti Biden movement is. I question the timing and the real reason behind it. To help DJT - yes. With what?

Trump will be out of office one day, one way or another, so I'd like to remind everyone who's breaking laws on the assumption that Trump will always be there to protect them and pardon them that the reckoning will come for them all eventually. Sort of a Final Destination film, but with prison time.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."
