Hold on. I'm being told in my earpiece that there was...

  • No sacrifice
  • No bravery
  • No grenade
  • No platoon
  • No jumping on top of the non-existent weapon by Biden
  • No "shielding" from the non-existent weapon

The reality - I'm being told - is that his team didn't poll in the swing states for two whole months as they waited for fantastical events to get Biden's poor polling numbers up. Perhaps they were waiting for LOTR-like wizard to appear to perform actual magic? In this context it's likely that the main reason Biden dropped out was because it was clear he was going to get smoked in the swing states and lose big time.

love him?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
