  1. Hes been mentally out of it for the past 2 – 3 years. Funny how the BBC only just started airing the clips of bidens embarrassing moments now when they have been happening last two years

  2. Why are papers like the guardian and its readers always 5 to 10 years behind common knowledge. And in terms of things like Ukraine and the war not only are they 10 years late to the party they carry on like its a new thing and a big suprise that is totally unprovoked lol

  3. It’s about time, he is not of this world, he is wrecking the US!,, And why is all the west having open borders, is this their masters orders.. A WEF agenda..

  4. We all knew Joe was suffocrom mental decline, but the media would not point it out until it was clear he’d lose to Trump.
