The insiders might not have been any kinder to each other, but can you imagine Mrs. Biden getting away with running the country for two years as Mrs Wilson did, or the press refraining from showing Trump using a walker once his toe lifts stop working as they did with FDR?

Why are we treated to endless spoutings of Ocasio-Cortez, Goetz, Omar, and Taylor Green, when there are serious politicians like Spanberger, Gallagher.
