Democratic lawmakers hailed President Joe Biden’s historic decision on Sunday not to seek reelection, praising him as putting his country and his party before himself. Republicans called on him to resign from office, saying that if he could not run for another term, office, then he’s unable to serve as president.

Biden’s announcement came after more than two weeks of Democrats urging him to withdraw from the race. Nearly three dozen lawmakers had publicly called on him to end his reelection bid. Others had voiced concerns privately about what the ramifications would be for down-ballot Democrats if he remained in the race. When the president heeded those concerns, Democrats called it a selfless move.

    You can’t satisfy it Republicans so don’t bother trying. Well, unless you use Grindr during the RNC. Then you can probably satisfy Republicans.

      You couldn’t pay me enough to fuck someone who gets on stage and tells everyone that their neighbors and people like me shouldn’t exist.

      You have to be nicer and more friendly than that.
