Minor gripes about gas prices and people littering but GREAT otherwise!

It's OVER 5,000!
Man, there was one time last year when I used my Kroger points for $1 off per gallon and only paid something like 69 cents per gallon. Now it's not far from $3. Crazy. I'm glad I'm not driving 80+ miles per day anymore.

Biden also said the filibuster was being abused, apparently not recognizing that his own party, a minority in the US Senate for the last six years, used it quite liberally during the Trump administration.
In fact, he took it a step further and said he agreed with former President Barack Obama that the filibuster was "a relic of the Jim Crow era." Does he not remember his 2005 Senate speech passionately defending the filibuster?
"I think it may be one of the most important speeches for historical purposes that I will have given in the 32 years since I have been in the Senate," Biden said at the time. "At its core, the filibuster is not about stopping a nominee or a bill -- it's about compromise and moderation," he explained.
If he now believes the filibuster is inherently racist, or is being "abused," does he also believe he was previously defending a racist congressional tool? Does he think Democrats who have taken advantage of the filibuster tactic have been engaging in racist or abusive activity since 2014, when Republicans won back the majority in the Senate? Does he think it was racist or abusive for Democrats to filibuster a bill on police reform from South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, a Black Republican in the Senate, last year?

Biden has always been racist. He was praising the klansman Robert Byrd just ten years ago.
He is also a corpse. They know the filibuster is the only thing stopping them from permenant altering this country forever. It is why he is the perfect candidate. Someone "moderate" who can beat Trump but someone senile enough to know what his handlers are doing
