From Melber and Hays that's a compliment tirebiter Apr 2021 #14
Biden has always been ready. Sanders isn't. JI7 Apr 2021 #27

Markley? DFW Apr 2021 #50

Ari Melber is an idiot. This is the Biden Administration, not the Sanders-lite Administration. NurseJackie Apr 2021 #68
He is. I stopped watching him because of his several attempts to tank Biden... Kahuna Apr 2021 #72
