This. My chemo buddy (he would always sit in the same area as I, so we would chat) was on his latest of several rounds, and he said he never lost his hair. I didn’t lose my hair until the second month. ---

No, no, see, what Biden is doing is BAD, because it’s legal. Trump only wants the President to be shielded for illegal acts. As for Trump’s lies, I don’t know whether he believes them, or cares about the truth, or whatever. But I do know that I don’t care what he really, truly believes. All that matters to all of us folks out here in the real world is that he does lie, constantly, about everything. ---
