    I’m sad it’s news when a president/presidential candidate announces something totally reasonable.

      I’m always disappointed hearing news about Biden. So boring and normal. Where did my emotional rollercoaster of reading the news when Trump was president go?

      Dark brandon better beat that facist dumbass come november though.

      He probably would’ve announced this anyway, even if politics were much more normal than they are now. The thing is, it wouldn’t have been so newsworthy. It would’ve just been a normal, reassuring statement that we all expected to hear.

        If politics were “more normal than they are now” it wouldn’t have been a statement he would need to make.

        It’s a pretty low bar that a politician shouldn’t be assumed to be abusing their power.
