Joe BidenCongratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!

But wasn't it nice to have Fox pay for Mayor Pete's rally? And the town hall generated lots of sound bites for later ads. My favorite was when he said his biggest mistake was not firing someone to his face. "You should look the person in the eye when you fire them, and tell them why you're doing it." It was a direct slam at Dotard, who has never fired someone face-to-face, even in the context of a television show (the producers decided who to let go). As WH resident, Fat Donnie has fired people via tweet or through intermediaries, but never in person.

When he quit in protest of IQ45's decision to yank our troops out of Syria (and give a gift to his BFF, Vlad). Secretary of Defense Mattis went right to the Oval Office and put his letter of resignation in Trump's short-fingered hands. Trump thought the letter was complimentary until his staff explained it really said, "F*ck you, asshole!", after which he claimed he was the one who fired Mattis.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
