So @cenkuygur just toasted half the respect I have for him by asserting that @POTUS has "done nothing but a Covid relief bill."

"What has Joe Biden accomplished?" A thread. ->

Frankly, to see @cenkuygur assert ->

that Biden "hasn't done anything" leaves me genuinely wondering if he, Cenk, is in a good place. It also leaves me wondering if TYT hasn't peaked. These aren't things I like to think about. Please get it together. Thanks. END THREAD.
