multaneous sip. I think you know it's a cup or above your glasses. Time to fill your favorite thermos, canteen, Grail – a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I'm partial to coffee. And join me now for the simultaneous sip. The best part of the day. Dopamine, go sublime. All right, let's talk about Joe Biden. Here's an interesting angle that I don

But if there's any doubt in people's minds about whether Biden will be capable and they still want the benefit of thinking incorrectly but thinking that Biden could beat Trump, they might have this tough question, which is it's obvious he's n…
