Enjoying hearing all the problems socialist party having.

[@NoNameToYou]

If you think the GOP is full of capitalists you don’t know what a capitalist is.

[@georgesouthwick7000]

At least the Socialists have the integrity to call themselves what they are. The Democrats are Socialists who believe if they call themselves “Democrats” nobody will notice.

[@dennisw8263]

I've been against biden (and harris) from the beginning. But now that pelosy, shumer, and shifty want him out, I've changed my mind. I want him to stay in!!!

[@donnaphen503]

Well put LOL. It'll be a shoe in for the Trump election. Biden is either extremely stubborn in not recognizing this, or he's just lost his marbles. (maybe both?)

[@ericheine2414]

Usually when the money runs out so does the woman.

The money train to the Ukraine is not leaving the station

“The money has dried up”. Hahahahahahaha!! Yeah, right.

[@jodyrussell4260]

Haha I agree to vote for the felon....Trump2024 baby..❤❤😂😂😂

anybody recognizes JB as a narcissist?

Haha, perhaps but Trump is 95% more so.

What about the war chest. Almost 100 million

[@tonytrotta9322]

Bye Biden the big guy

[@hammerk4130]

Don't have to be a scientist to see Joe and the Democrats are toast😂

[@wrsmith711]

No one wants to admit how useless K Harris really is.....

[@johnomalley760]

It used to be "God bless America". With Trump and Biden as candidates it should now be "God help America"

[@buckhorncortez]

Wow...aren't you clever? Did you think that up all by yourself...?

[@danjay84]

This tidbit of ignorance was brought to you by John!

[@jrb5017]

Joey just needs to say: Look folks, i am finished, and also resign, and i should be admitted to an assisted care home.

[@FritsKist]

A narcissist?!

[@SJ-li6ho]

Donors give your money to children.

[@donnaphen503]

Yes! Money would best be donated to Shriners Hosp and St. Judes Hosp. AND Joe would get one of those "adorable" blankets when he's tucked in every night LOL

[@LawrenceBroussard]

Your asking a senior person that seem to not know where he is most of the time to recognize a complex thought!

[@FritsKist]

A narcissist will never give up: 'I'm the GOAT!

[@THX..1138]

Why won't the Rutabaga listen to reason 🤡🤣🤦‍♂

[@Chrylgirl]

To not where?

[@ed3432]

“Tells him something” I don’t think Senile Joe can process that thought🤣

[@georgekucharo1960]

Wait...can't the Left just print more???

[@rlhaff3560]

Yea, Republicans never spend money huh? lol what a joke, Republican presidents have spent just as much as Dem presidents... but I know those pesky "facts" don't apply to Trumpies right?

[@ChrisWibbeler]

Biden should ask Zelenskyy for a couple of billion

[@FredBouck]

Take away the money and thay will leave.

[@katfishkobain8809]

Time to do the hobo, Joe, and shuffle out of town…….

[@bishrob345]

fjb $24,000,000; upwards of 50M that would be 1 million per year while serving and selling illusions of influence since 1974.

[@howardthrongard640]

Well, as they young ladies used to say in Viet-Nam, “You no have money, you no have honey!” Xin loi, Joe!

[@mattosullivan9687]

All they need to do is give Biden a Golden Parachute. I suggest a job he is well qualified for. National spokesman for Depends.

[@PolicalCentral2.0-fe1fp]

Both Joe Biden & Kamala Harris Must Step Aside now!

[@markmccreadie6212]

Zero chance both do. Never happen. Biden maybe

Makes no difference.

[@joefrommontana252]

The future of America is definitely not the carrot he needs. He needs more ego focused things like Trump canceling his presidential library if he loses.

[@sonjakozman1699]

Whenever this woman's lips move, i know the establishment is trying to fortify the narrative

[@markg4459]

She's interviewing the expert...not speaking as one. I see nothing offensive about her questions. Maybe you just don't like the chaos in the Dem party. But that's of your own making...so tough.

[@AntiSychophant-fi9yr]

HiS Gray matter has dried up

[@michaeldecastro5088]

Who will get the first interview after Biden drops out so Biden can tell us what really happened? 😂

[@littleboyd7500]

Town bicycle 😂😂😂 town but pirate in code😂😂

[@zirconiumdiamond1416]

I don't see why his campaign even needs that much money. Both he and Trump have already spent a term in office. They both will get tons of publicity on whatever they do or say. Does this feel like a campaign where there are a bunch of voters who are going to be swayed by a 30 spot on TV?

[@JimmyVargas-kv7ii]

He will continue as president and at convention will declare he won't contest the presidency. He will do an LBJ, he will want to finish his presidency on his terms

[@paulmoss7940]

He is getting the bag right. You know he gets 10% of that 230 mil or else.

[@ashleynewyorksfinest6901]

Oh please just stop you recalling think Jill will allow that? 😂

[@johnhudelson2652]

LBJ was honorable enough to withdraw from the race on 1968 March 31. FJB is not so honorable.

[@markg4459]

He's way too late to do an LBJ. Johnson announced he'd not run for reelection in March. Biden thought -- wrongly -- he could bluff the American voters and Trump would be behind bars on one or more charges he and Dems dreamed up. Reality must really bite!

[@SAH-n7d-e8c]

Good!

I want joe to stay in to help maga

[@robertkoth4022]

@@donnaphen503 possible he go to jail accepting bribes from Chinese communist and other countries but especially Chinese communist. Dementia won't get him off this time.he trying to hang on to pardon hunter I believe but if the California tax evasion might linger past TRUMP being president he going jail. Plus the bribery and TREASON charges are charged not some Democrat D.A. TREASON GOES IN FRONT OF A MILITARY TRIBUNAL. LEAVENWORTH OR WORSE OS THE SENTENCE FOR TREASON.
