You said it to me in a dialog we were having, and I wasn't sure about it at all. You called it still_one Jun 2019 #53
It wasn't hard, as Biden didn't have a choice... so that poor women CAN have a choice!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #71

I would not rather lose. Blue_true Jun 2019 #104
Can't imagine that happening treestar Jun 2019 #108
I'm glad about this, and I believe it's an example of how Biden doesn't necessarily believe he has WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2019 #30
