    Biden Falsely Claims ‘All’ Media Tagged Vaccine Plan as ‘Impossible’

    Biden justified his administration’s goal to administer to 100 million Americans within his first 100 days in the White House when a reporter quizzed that the target was too modest.

    “When I announced it, you all said it wasn’t possible. C’mon. Gimme a break, man,” the president snapped.

    Major publications may have voiced skepticism over Biden’s claims, but they remain only too few.

    1. I've been very hesitant to comment but since my deceased father keeps getting invoked I will say this:

    John Weaver and Steve Schmidt were so despised by my Dad he made it a point to ban them from his funeral. Since 2008, no McCain would have spit on them if they were on fire.


    No he wouldn't tubby. He'd suck their dicks and call them his "friends." You are fooling no one you political whore. Speaking of your pops, how's he doing in Hell?

  17. "John Weaver and Steve Schmidt were so despised by my Dad he made it a point to ban them from his funeral. Since 2008, no McCain would have spit on them if they were on fire."

    How does John McCain ban someone from his funeral if he is dead ? Did he make up a list prior to dying "These people cannot attend my funeral!!"

    If McCain made such a list he must have been a total nut job.

    If someone showed up to the funeral that was not on the "These people cannot attend my funeral list" were they immediately escorted by the mortician out of the funeral home. Very bizarre.
