Jokes aside, if Biden was AWOL for four days and had nothing on his sked for a holiday weekend:
-CNN would permanently show a running clock on the last time Biden was seen in public
-Alex Thompson would publish multiple stories a day on Axios

Today's a good day to recall this exchange between Hunter Biden [The Witness here], into whom a 6-yr investigation & conviction started based on a payment he made to a sex worker, and Matt Gaetz, who says he was very generous with women he didn't date.
