I’ll be honest, I like that outfit. And no, I’m not suddenly a liberal.
Yeah insurance companies 😠
This had nothing to do with the Surfside collapse as the title and thumbnail suggests

Keep up the good work Biden you have done a better job than Trump would have ever done. Trump couldn’t make a dollar off of these people he would never have done anything for them.
I agree!
Typical child molester supporting Democrat that’s going to face God’s wrath on your judgement day, for being responsible for the murders of over sixty five million American babies. You can fool yourself but you can’t fool God.
Stomp on those insurance companies! Thanks, Joe!
