    The fact that the most powerful individual in the wester world is being praised for holding an “unscripted” news conference is laughable. That’s the bare minimum, not something to tout as a challenge or accomplishment.

      And it’s not that Trump isn’t worse, it’s that we expect better leadership on the way to stopping fucking fascism.

      He’s done 37 this term…

      trump did like 10x that, Obama did almost 500.

      For Joe Biden this is a big event, which is a pretty big part of the problem.
