Jill Biden walks over to drag Joe to Marine One after he told reporter 'I'm not going to make a judgement for other people' when asked if he supports abortion as a Catholic on Ash Wednesday
What is that bruise on the center of Joe's forehead. It wasn't there Tuesday night.
* Did he fall?
* Did someone hit him?
* Is it the result of drugging?
No just Ash Wednesday and Lunchbox wearing his Catholicism on his sleeve and forehead.
As president Joe has to uphold the aw of the and. As a Catholic president, he could make arguments every now and then for pro-life. But Joe is not really Catholic.
Pro-life(?) Joe sure is murdering a lot of Black Americans with his open border policies.

The fentanyl that Saint George Floyd OD on came from China and was transported across the border by Mexican Cartels in conjunction with Hezbollah, but do not tell a Democrat the truth. Don't you dare.
Which country is more corrupt? USSR or USSA?
