Don’t Let Trump’s Base LIE About Biden’s Mental Fitness
It is hilariously hypocritical that Trump’s base makes Biden sound like a puppet. We all know Trump goofs around at Mar-a-Lago or on Twitter; is the only POTUS other than Reagan to suffer actual cognitive mental decline; and has no government knowledge, experience, or interest.

Spoilers below if you haven’t seen the season 3 finale of “Yellowstone.” Season 3 of “Yellowstone” ended with a bang (or three) as all three (biological) members of the Dutton family saw themselves targeted for assassination.
