Glad that you and I are on the same page. I call out Tim and Sarah every time they trash Biden on his refusal to withdraw or not run for reelection in the first place. Enough already. I am 78 myself and NEVER thought that at his age, Biden should seek reelection which would be a betrayal of our understanding when he ran in 2020. We wanted Joe Biden to be a one term healing president who as it turned out was also able to get shit done. Tim asked Anthony Blinken about Biden's diminished capacity as our chief executive, as if Blinken would actually say anything about that. Why even pose the question??!!

It’s not right and it serves no purpose. He is a good man.

Hey Diane-- Check out Michelle Goldberg's piece in the New York Times today that summarizes the Tapper/Thompson exposé on Biden's infirmity. The matter should not be ignored but Tim and Sarah's obsession with Biden is counterproductive. Goldberg notes that Tapper & Thompson found no evidence that Biden's decision making and judgment were impaired apart from the decision to run again. This settles the matter, let's move on to talking about those in Trump's first cabinet who were discussing the invocation of the 25th Amendment against Trump after Jan 6th.

Thank you I will.

Oh, the 25th amendment has been a big issue for me . Mike Pence just received the “profile in courage “ medal from the Kennedy library a couple weeks ago. I don’t believe he should’ve ever gotten that award.

He certified the election as he was required to do by the constitution . You don’t need a medal for that.

He went along with the whole mega movement and he supported over 30,000 pathological lies in the Trump administration .

After January 6, he should’ve been voted the 25th amendment and had him removed from office for treason and eliciting a riot . If Mike Pence had finished his job as vice president and had him removed from office, he would’ve never been able to hold the office of the presidency again or any other public office..

And we would not be living this nightmare .

I don’t believe he deserved any profiles, encourage award. I was disappointed that he did not have the humility and the decency to decline that award.

And the crowd was yelling “ hang Mike Pence “
