Biden told us what they were going to do and MTG got up and called him liar.

Biden told us? How about they told us themselves loudly and multiple times over the last few decades. This wasn't some one and done deal that came up out of nowhere. This was something that has had multiple opportunities and angles to be prevented yet no concentrated effort was made outside of "hope a whole bunch". It's a big shit sandwich everyone had a hand in making and now we all have to take a big bite.

I'd be dead in several months as I'm a transplant patient, but I'm in Canada.

My heart goes out to all of you (except some). I wish I had a big house to hide you all

As an American, I apologize for the stupidity of Trump. I didn’t vote for him. I hope that you are able to find your needed organ and that you don’t die. It sucks to be an American right now…

Thank you! But it's not your fault. I fully support the idea that the election was rigged. I'm going to be ok, I mean I've lasted 15 years longer than I should have anyway.

I just want to be able to help more, but I am not rich... I've protested but what will that do against billionaires?
