If this were 2120 it would be hilarious reading this chapter in American history. Living in 2020 this is a disaster for our country. Lets hope the bureaucrats, cabinet members and congress keep the train on the rails.

Mind you there is a broader point, out of the cast of dozens of DEM wannabe candidates seeking to dethrone the least competent incumbent in memory/century/history Biden is your best available option?

_Hmm, why can’t I invoke OneBox?_
