As the article states, he was a colossal failure @ Covid.

And Dementia Joe’s “Plan” is exactly like Trumps-including, apparently, “Xenophobic” Travel Bans!
Huh.....

And why are all of a sudden all these Blue States opening up their economies again? When the case loads haven’t declined significantly or at all? Because a Democrat is in the White House all of a sudden. Period.
Seems like Florida’s approach worked closely pretty well-with Trump in the WH and a Republican Governor. Good to see that some of these Blue Dogs decided to get on the train. Probably too late for Newsome tho. He’s getting his lousy ass recalled in California.

Not shooting the messenger one bit kiddo. Just laughing as the completely asinine notion that any poll taken 5 days into a presidency means anything...it literally means nothing. And Infowars?? I'm not even sure what that means in the context of this discussion and I don't think you do either. Keep up the good work, Bobbie. iHerb.com is currently running a special on Prevagen. Check it out.

In your prior post you stated "Sounds just like what will happen on appeal to the Supreme Court if an Impeachment hearings proceed. “No Standing” AND no dissent." What does that even mean in regards to impeachment.

You could send an approval poll out pertaining to Biden's response to the Canadian invasion of northern Minnesota and it would receive a 70% rating.

As long as you word it as a comparison to Trump: "Do you think Biden's response to the Canadian invasion of Northern Minnesota was better or worse than Trump's response?"

Thanks for the info on why Leahy will preside.

The emoluments cases that the Supreme Court ruled as "moot" because Trump has left office makes no sense at all.
The clause in the Constitution is directed at all Federal employees.
What they have set precedent is if a federal employee violates the clause, and leaves office, it's OK, and he gets to keep his illegal gains.

That's just nuts.

I haven't looked at the cases, but the fact that no one dissented, makes me think that they were seeking some sort of injunctive relief that is now moot with Trump out of office.

Sure, unless it was a pro-trump poll.

Seriously. Why does anyone care if he runs again? Was it sooooo bad? Great economy. Record vaccine production. Energy independence. Unprecedented ME peace deals. Lower taxes. Etc, Etc, Etc. I get people thought he was mean but Wilson and FDR were awful people but the Left loves 'em.
