The entire thing made it sound like you're saying it's Bidens fault. I can't read your comment and come to ANY other comclusion. You should probably edit it, and reword the entire thing. Of coarse then I'LL look insane, but thats ok. Someone will just say "username is relevant". And probably downvote me.
