      Most all of these sound like easily refutable right wing talking points. Especially the hunter biden laptop, where has this been covered by a legit news source? I thought it was debunked as a disinformation campaign.

      He tried passing legislation to help the border crisis but the Republicans killed it.

        It’s been covered by all of the Conservative/Republican news networks, and it was entered into evidence in Hunters gun trial. They used it to help convict him. He did try passing legislation on the border but it was legislation that would have just increased the traffic coming across. The purpose of that bill was to help process them faster. It didn’t do anything to secure the border and stop the flow. Republicans passes a bill long before that one that would have actually secured it and shut it down but Dems stopped it in the Senate.
