For keeping in the news!
Democrats to keep President Biden off the Ballot
I trust that Democrats that seek and are opposed to President Biden being included on the ballot, are merely Republicans in disguise.
Fascists
Bunch of Zionist losers complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The people will remember. Keep excusing these monsters as your report from their made up country you pathetic excuses for human beings. Also what awful journalism. Bringing up sexual violence claims from October 7th that were debunked weeks ago. Then only reason I listen to this garbage is to see what the libs are eating up. Same with right wing media. All this garbage is the same.
