GOP Stimulus Package Goes From 1 Trillion to 2 Trillion...

Posted By Mel Maki

Since they have decided to send checks this close to an election, there might be some competition for, "the most helpful and most caring politician" award. It might be difficult to top whatever Schumer comes up with.  $2,500? $3,000?
I don't know what it is, but there is a number that will be counterproductive.

Yes, a perfect opportunity to show they care the most.

The Hammer and the Dance..... Why mitigation is not enough.

Posted By Mel Maki

Biden, in his condition, is not an improvement. Why pretend he has not lost a LOT. Think how bad he would look without all the staging and propping up. Without all the help he would look so bad his supporters would not vote for him. How many think he could speak for ten minutes without a script and seem up to the job?

Play the bit about his record player and say he is presidential material.

Does anybody think Biden could stand in front of the press for over an hour?  He couldn't do it.

Anybody see his interview with the lady at MSNBC? It is no longer credible to pretend Biden is fit for duty. It is not debatable. He blanks out. Watch it. I can't say you are a credible person if you say he is up to the job!

Sounds just fine...
And that is the best he can ever sound. Super softball interview from his home! He is ok for a few minutes.

Every month he will be worse, a melting ice cube.

You know Biden is slipping. A lot.

It seems Dems would be happy to have Cuomo. He has even been cutting Trump some slack, lately.  Is it to broaden his appeal?
