Guess what. I'm in a very shitty, blocky mood today.

Come into my feed and tell me we need a new candidate? Bye.

Start kvetching and playing into their hands by indulging in the "He's too old" crap. See ya.

Whine about our 2 party system when right now we need to be fighting our asses off for democracy and supporting our candidates? .

This is NOT the day to test my patience.

Don't believe me? Wanna provoke? I will block, no matter who you are.

Via Bradley Moss:

The commentary about #Biden's memory was legally irrelevant and the very kind of extraneous commentary that got Comey fired in 2017.

Jacqui Heinrich:

Biden's lawyers wrote to Hur asking that he revise descriptions of the President's memory - notable given voter concerns about his mental capacity.
