Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
It's easy to blame the media, or rich people, or whoever else. I advocate looking in the mirror.

He broke every promise he ever made unless it was to do something nasty. Why, given his record, they even talk to him?
