t if I had not seen the video where there's a very big factory that looks like a big industrial processing plant. So it looks like somebody put some tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into building it. So I got a feeling that somebody saw something that was convincing because they put many millions of dollars into building that thing. What's the name of the company? I don't think that they h…

do? You're going to need to impeach your own guy so you can get Kamala in the top spot, because that's what you wanted anyway. And if Joe Biden makes it easy to remove him — and of course he might just say my health is failing, I'm sorry, I didn't realize my health would fail on the day I got inaugurated, but there it is, I'm stepping aside.

I suppose they could just say that and that would be good enough. People would get the message. But I don't think they'll physically change the ticket. It's too clos

e to the end. But maybe Biden wins and they impeach him on the first day. I'm looking at one of my critics. Somebody says, Jesus, you weren't right, and get over it for frick's sake. How can you say I'm not right when anybody voting for Biden believes they're voting for a Kamala? Now, it's not technically right, but it's about as right as you can be while being technically wrong. I don't know how…
