under President Biden we were recovering from shithole’s first disastrous term.

2nd term even before a year is obviously on track as maybe worse financially wise, but alas COVID and shithole plus the Republican Party handling of the virus was the worse.

But, with that jerk RFK, jr in charge of USA health, I fear we may get another killer virus.
