Imagine that! Soon this will all just all go away!
Poof propagandemic, gone.
You mean Biden has fixed things in less than a week! Amazing! How come he didn’t do do anything for 50 years in politics but now works magic in 5 days?! Note the sarcasm…
I predicted this 4 months ago … that “as soon as Biden is inaugurated, the pandemic will end”. (And long before 4 months ago the media had already anointed Biden winner of the election). The Democratic Party deserves to be in power. They understand power politics. They are masters of the double-standard. OK for them to challenge the legitimacy of the Trump presidency for 4+ years, but totally unacceptable for the Republicans to challenge the legitimacy of the Biden presidency for two months. We’ll see how soon the pandemic ends. Biden says we are headed for the worst in the months ahead. Never forget that the Democrats need some sort of major crisis, any major crisis, in order to ram their policies and agenda through while sidestepping all legalities. Both parties are at an all-time low. It’s why so many have such a low regard for Washington D.C. and all those that operate there.
