    Say it aint so, Jamie! Are you also caught up in this intra-party coup?
  • @bonniehall578
    Not you, too Jamie! Stop the pressure on Biden. The voters have spoken, and that's who we want!
  • Jamie needs to stand firm on his principles and not let BS media and others shake him. President Biden's bold plan for his first 100 days in office next term are the best thing that could happen for this nation in a long, long, time

    Shame on you Jamie! You are old too. Do you want us to ask you to step down.
