    It's like when your parent gets too old to drive and you have to take their keys away. Eventually, they realize it's the right thing to do for everyone.

    Thank you, President Biden for your decades of service to the USA and the world.
  • President Biden showed he was being honest when he ran saying he loves this country. That is a big pill for Biden to swallow and he did so for his country. Thank you POTUS.

    It would have been even more selfless -had he done it last year!

    I absolutely believe Dark Brandon timed this perfectly. He waited until Trump was the official Republican nominee and made the worst choice for VP. Nice work Mr President!
