  1. I guess American people want The Trump in high heels Nikki or the joke from Florida to run America???

  2. Stop Age shaming our president!! He's got the mind of a a 40 year old!!

  3. At least he is not trying to overthrow the government. Biden is not a terrorist trump and his sidekicks are a discrace

  4. I appreciate you going to Ukraine but you look week and sick it's time to hang up the hat

  5. I can understand, why Biden isn't having Harris in taking a more active role, outside of Washington. It's not the issue of how much (or how little) Biden has in his Vice President, but it's more of the need for Harris to be near Capitol Hill, in official duty as Constitutional President (and tie-breaker) in the Senate.

    The Democrats have a 2 seat majority in the Senate, but with John Fedderman of Pennsylvania in the hospital, the majority is shrunk to a defacto 50-49 vote. If Fedderman's vote is "paired" with another Senator, who would have voted the other way, such as Joe Manchin, then The Vice President would be needed as the tie-breaker. (The matter on the Senate floor could be confirming a Federal Judge.) Harris already has the third-highest record amongst Vice Presidents as tie-breakers. If Harris is absent, instead of serving as a tie-breaker, then a Presidential Nomination is defeated and Harris would look like, she's not "doing her job".

    And the question, of "if not Biden, who"? would make it even harder for Biden to get his agenda passed.

  6. That's crazy, his age isn't his problem. It's his batshiat crazy policies on inflation, energy, border, foreign policy, education that are the problem. Sit him in a room with a lap blanket and some hot tea and he will be fine for a couple years. Take hi checkbook and credit card and a lot of his crazyass reckless spending would probably stop.

  7. Who are all of u kidding? The man has dementia and his brain is becoming mush faster than slower. 3/4ths of America know this as well as the whole world!

  8. He was old when U selected Him and You thought as acting President He would get younger..

  9. Biden is a great P.❤❤❤❤❤❤

  10. He's too old for anything but a rocking chair if he runs I will not vote

  11. I voted for Biden but not this time him and garland are destroying our justice system

  12. just his age drives this talk? this is the worst administration in our history! they’ve all got to go, especially the Big Guy.

  13. Trumps mental age is at least 3 decades younger then Biden.

  14. I would far rather have two wise old men, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders who care about average people.
    And know that progressive social policies are good for America. The Right never thinks Trump (76) Pence (70s)
    or Murdoch (NINETIES!!!) are "too old" for public life! They never should have been there in the first place!

  15. did they whisper when they found out Hunter called up his dead brothers wife he banged and asked her to get tested for AIDS?

  16. Democrat policies have destroyed this country every single gop candidate is better than anything the dnc has to offer

  17. And STILL a better choice than Donald Chump

  18. The FCC needs to revisit the rules that the media have to follow.. on account of the total lack of integrity, intentionally, on the part of fox 'news'..
    "Misinformation on a matter of national defense reg"

  19. So democrats are discriminating based on age. How very conservative of them

  20. YES…He's too old, and has done enough foreign policy damage. I can't take anymore

  21. The Democratic base overwhelmingly rejected Harris in 2020. If Kamala Harris can't get them to vote for her she's got no chance of winning a Presidential election.

  22. Michelle Obama has done more as First Lady than Harris has done as VP.
