Wishful thinking but Hopefully there's going to soon be some openings for cabinet positions due to extreme criminality.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them.
Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded.

Loved this series from the beginning (w/exception of Lizzo and Jack Black-yikes).
But I won't be seeing this in a theater. I know they're expensive to make but that's why Disney+ and park prices keep getting jacked. This just seems like a money grab because it was successful.
This is not the way.

President Biden is a good man, always has been and he tried to help our country recover from the damage of the current administration's last debacles. People were just too impatient... and believed a felonious liar (allegedly).
President Biden - never stopped being presidential even after going through cancer treatment, showing great leadership and stamina.
The felon couldn't be bothered being presidential, is destroying our country and pardons criminals like himself.
