@GottaLaff I read this out load to my 93 year old F-i-L. He has short term memory loss so he asked "Who is the President?" I said, "Joe Biden, and he is doing a GREAT JOB!" I told him what the Republicans wanted to do, cut social security & Medicare & give tax cuts to the rich & corporations, Then I read him Biden's letter.
I wish I had recorded it to see the big smile on his face. Then I told him the big troubles Trump is in d how he owes 1/2 a billion to New York & 91m to E Jean Carroll!
