You are definitely my backstory resource!
BS dies slowly, if at all.
What is really strange is so many people voted for a convicted fraudster. Let's be honest. His whole campaign was a fraud.
He is not eligible to hold the official office. 14th Amendment, section 3. Felons do not hold any federal offices.

Anita Dunn played right into @nytimes.com Maggie Haberman’s theme: “Moving Forward from 2024: Let’s All Bury the Truth Together” panel when she accused Joe Biden of attacking our judicial system.
