"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
I used to feel sorry for her, until she showed that she is just as egocentric, twisted, hateful, and nasty as the rest of that crime family.
I am really looking forward to a beautiful, accomplished (with an actual PhD), intelligent, compassionate First Lady in our White House again. Dr. Biden will do a lot to restore the dignity of that office to what it was being it was beslimed by the gold-digger.

Agreed on taking responsibility for one's choices. My thoughts are she has done so at least 3 times; first for leaving NY for DC, again when Trump decided to run for reelection and after COVID.
That said, demonizing people by association is wrong. Claiming she's a bad person because Trump is a fucking moron is as wrong as the RWNJs who claim all BLM protesters are Marxist thugs advocating "kill Whitey!".

At best, you are mistaken. Operation Warp Speed is about manufacturing and distribution of vaccines, not anti-virals. It is barebones, and there is no spare cash sitting around. Remdesivir is an antiviral used in treatment of severe cases. It is not a vaccine.
It has had mixed results, including killing people who would not have died from the disease itself.

The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the US military, the First Lady is just his wife. Unless refused, the President has a doctor with him at all times. As much as possible, the Defense Department and Secret Service attempts to keep a portable hospital close to the President. The First Lady gets none of this. If the President goes down, there would be problems throughout the command structure. If the First Lady goes down, it would be a tragedy, but government would go on unaffected.

Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
Of course she doesn't have the same medical treatment as the President. Doctors are ordered to save the President first and foremost, and if that is done, to look after anyone else.
The key word in that is "one". The First Lady could be replaced by millions of other women, or even billions if we cast the net a little further. The Presidency is an obvious bottle neck of possible failure, while the First Lady is certainly not.
Imagine the President is killed, and a nuclear strike happens at the same time. Maybe the VP could be sworn into office and take over in time... But it would be tough. Now imagine if the First Lady is killed. Even if the President is too distraught to go on, he can hand power to someone else.
The USA defends the President at almost all costs. That is against an assassins bullets, but also against health problems. There is also secondary attempts to defend the First Lady (or probably one day First Gentleman), but the President is the primary person who is defended.
We do not get the same standard of healthcare as the President. The First Lady does not get the same standard of healthcare as the President. If you think everyone is equal, you are delusional.
