   Well either way you are not doing very well despite the pile on me from the   
   usual   
   TDS sufferers.

   Your point?   
   Goal post move again.   
   Biden vs Trump.   
   Do try and focus.

   Huh? You are once again babbling about unrelated topics.   
   You do that a lot.   
   Have you actually watched the left wing media the past, say 10 years or so?   
      
   Imagine if Trump had claimed his uncle Boise was eaten by cannibles from   
   Papa New Guinea.   
   Oh and they were pissed.....   
      
   How about Trump showering with his pubescent daughter?   
      
   It would be page one for months in the left wing media.   
   Yet both are true about Biden and swept under the rug by the left wing media.

   Yawn.   
   Open your eyes for once.

   Nope.   
      
   See above.

   And who was POTUS in 2025?   
   Nice try.   
   And yes the POTUS has an effect on crime in major cities especially in crime   
   reporting because unlike Biden, he is looking under every rock for reporting   
   fraud.
