00:00 - People kept saying that Volodymyr Zelensky is in over his head but all I see is a courageous man who is willing to risk his life for his people.

- The thing I'm honestly looking forward to in a @JoeBiden Presidency is the opportunity to go 48 consecutive business hours without noticing the President of the United States.
