In hour long interviews the media failed to ask Trump about the 2000 stolen top secret documents he hid in his bathroom. MSM in Amercia is biased and full of shit.

I hope Joe Biden lives to attend her funeral and all these other doubters.

that many powerful Democratic supporters made to take Biden out of the race.

Her question assumes that something was wrong with President Biden.

Like the old classic question, "So sir, when did you stop beating your wife?"

Only so many hours in the day. I’m switching to organizing my belongings, repair work, financial attention, personal matters and family. If i have time left over, I’m reading books or watching Apple TV series, or updating my science knowledge.

Our countrymen will need to hit bottom, FAFO, and rid themselves of lice before anything will change.

I will still sometimes watch Nicolle Wallace and Lawrence O'Donnell until if/when they turn. Agree on Americans needing to hit bottom before they wake up, and unfortunately, many of them are a very long way from there as of now.

All this focus on Biden's mental acuity when he's the outgoing president, and nothing about his stellar record. Then absolutely nothing Trump's obvious and rapid mental decline, as well as his complete incompetence to be president. As far as I'm concerned, her journalistic integrity lives in the garbage. Welker is nothing more than a shill for the billionaire class.

A nice response? Pete Buttigieg would have not let her off as easily as Mr Schumer, who needs some fire in his belly for the next four years. We have a great message but some of our messengers need to speak up louder and hold the media to facts, not gaslighting viewers like this host did.

During Republican administrations they have to pretend Democrats are still in charge (Rule that only Ds have agency because only they are The Government which everybody hates and are out to get everybody) and that takes more work, can be embarrassing.
