37. Bullshit waiver for a bullshit artist from a bullshit ex-president with bullshit for executive power
Sun Jul 10, 2022, 03:18 PM
Jul 2022

The recognized privilege of the executive resides with the executive, Joe Biden, not with some has-been, and Biden waived the executive privilege for this months ago. It was reported in the press, so you would think the press would know better than to be reporting this tripe from the former guy now as "waiving" anything - except his tiny little hands in the air beseeching attention and coverage.

Fuck this lying "coverage".

I would not allow public testimony at this point. He talks too much crap. 33taw Jul 2022 #2
100% agree. He will turn it into some sort of call to action or a spectacle. chowder66 Jul 2022 #16
