Harriet is the Bomb! I absolutely love her and how she handles herself in Congress. I hope she's around for a long time!

Rep Hageman is such an incredible upgrade from Liz Cheney. Congrats to Wyoming.

[@ducksoup5561]

Absolutely 👍

[@godchild6126]

Agreed

[@JusticeUS1776]

Oh I absolutely agree. We got winner with Harriet….she is awesome. I’m watch her interview witnesses and she’s a power house and knows her shit. Liz Cheney was a soap opera with issues (drama).

He has been ducking the press his whole presidency.

[@noinfo326]

omg, you are so ignorant. google president Biden and you will see that Biden doesn't duck the press.

[@auntyleilei1926]

@@noinfo326 Google? 🤣He reads from a teleprompter at his speeches. (“End of quote”) He has a predetermined list of reporters and questions (and answers) at any press conference, and gets mad if they don’t stick to the questions. He ignores the press and rudely walks away while chuckling if they ask impromptu questions. He holds cue cards that tell him where to go and who he’s talking to. It’s elder abuse to keep him in office, using him like a puppet.

[@roxmattern60]

And before he was elected

[@roxmattern60]

​@@noinfo326he ducked the press the whole time he ran for president in 2020. Him talking to the press is carefully scripted. Calling people names shows your mentality. You have an opinion you viewed it and call the other people ignorant. Everytime Biden speaks he blames Trump for his failures. Biden is proud he opened the border but blames Trump for the problems it has caused

[@sflasaint811]

[@Pjgh1996]

My husband passed away from dementia complications four and a half years ago...he was only seventy one years old...This family and administration should be charged with elder abuse for allowing him to continue this way ...One things for certain... they will have to answer to God for allowing him to continue this way...

[@Merriwether-w8k]

Biden thinks the Lord Almighty wants him to stay in the race - same as Trump thinks only he can save America - they are both insane and both UNFIT to serve - it's cult leader talk on both sides -

[@southbug27]

Exactly. I don’t like any of the Bidens; they’re all crooks, but the way Jill Biden is humiliating her husband just so she can have 4 more years of power & attention disgusts me more than I can express. They’ve already scooped up hundreds of millions of dollars selling out America; they won’t run out of money until the grandkids or great-grandkids are grown so the way she’s degrading her husband is completely unnecessary. I can’t even watch Biden’s flubs because it just makes me sick too mt stomach so I turn the channel or turn off the video. I don’t know his “loving wife” can live with herself.

[@chadlipps]

U like people who tell you what you want to hear. Be honest with us. I’m not voting for Biden I’m voting to continue our less than perfect democratic government that has to be taken back by the people who live in and not become slaves to an enlightened ( hardly) despot! That’s what Cuba has and Russia and China and North Korea. The only place of any interest should be Cuba but that’s politics we are talking Freedom and rights that can’t be removed by executive order because I called the pres Mr poopy pants.

JB sure knows how to sign cheques. JB just signed a 10 YEAR contract /agreement to take care of UKRAINE with cash, military support, etc. But he is witholding help to Israel. Also JB just signed cheques for more UKRAINE support earlier this week cash, F-15 fighter jets, munitions, etc. this week twice $2.3 billion and more added up to about $5-6 billion. Apparently there is a pot of money and it gets drawn from every two weeks as needed by Zelensky. Pot amount not mentioned assume probably $100 billion or more. This was in the utube video with Republican senator from Wyoming. She said none of the above went through Congress. All done by JB and cohorts.

[@melusinab3082]

The problem with dementia is that people can be easily led and does not have the cognitive ability to understand. He's the perfect stooge for people in his Administration. That's why they want him there. He's a puppet

[@anastunya]

Zelenskyy is blackmailing the Bidens and all involved in stealing money from Ukraine. Trump gave Zelenskyy the evidence he didn’t already have and all Uniparty crooks can be extradited at any time. All of the money paid to Ukraine can be refunded by confiscating the Uniparty’s billion dollar Templeton Funds account containing money stolen from Ukraine. I say “Uniparty” because Romney and other RINOs also involved.

[@Dale820]

I have been saying this in comments on this channel and others for the past 3 years. I have worked with people who have had dementia my mother just passed away from complications due to dementia. I have family members who still work with people who have dementia. You know the signs of the onset of dementia. When you see it first hand and are trained to look for it even in nursing homes. It does not take a Dr to know how to spot people with dementia. especially being around it day in and day out. Some times 24 hour shifts working with them week after week month after month. Yes its hard to admit someone has a problem. especially those who have it their will deny it time and time again. If I just being a person who has worked with people with dementia and a son of a person with dementia can see and hear the early warning signs. Plus at one time I seen adds on tv also if you see someone acting like this or that it maybe a warning sign of early on set of dementia. You would have to be brain dead not to notice something is wrong with a person who is starting dementia symptoms. I do not mean to be mean about it but when you with people day in and day out like people who are around the president all day and night. He is never alone and they did not notice anything wrong with him. I have to question why do they even have the job they have especially the secret service. They are trained in watching for abnormal behavior in people. They have to because they have to protect the president 24/7 and they are trained to notice anything out of the ordinary. plus he has Dr around him also most likely right on staff and we have Dr that are part of his cabinet like the surgeon general he is a Dr plus we had covid and you know their was Dr all around Biden then. So saying we did not know or notice anything wrong with him just does not cut it stop gaslighting the people we are not that dumb.
