he is the best at understanding what is going on, he cuts through the bullshit.

The Magat party wants chaos, wants a recession. The Magat party is domestic terrorists.

President Biden needs a campaign slogan that is forceful, like Vote Democrat, Save Our Democracy.

Autocracy vs Democracy - Vote - The choice is yours.

Thom tells it as it is with no political agenda - and he's right about the Republicans, those in the House are following TFG's orders, they are now answering to a constituent of one who is out to damage the country and American workers, he figures that the voters will blame President Biden.
