Come on papa joe follow through on your promises to run a clean operation. Shouldn’t his threats to destroy someone earn him a pink slip. Please don’t turn into another Clinton whitehouse by turning a blind eye to indiscretions and verbal threats. Don’t embarrass us democrat.

Biden is in the process of destroying a country. Suspend him.

So we are to believe that you can sack a person by giving them a unpaid week suspension and it's appropriate? The aide was using power to bully a journalist and should be 'sacked on the spot...no if's or but's'

Oh yeah the next 4 years is gonna be sweet

Only scratching surface of eliteism now parading in the halls of power...never cross them for you will be destroyed you peon!

ONLY for a week

Well, that’s what you get, Sir. Siguele culerito and you’re gonna get fired. I’m pretty sure you got a pass today and a small consequence, but at least you did get punished.

What was the alleged sexist comment ?
