A lot of newscasters use this term, so I was curious as to what it REALLY means to say it.  I NEVER USE WIKIPEDIA but it was the only place with a decent explanation which was totally understandable for even the stupidest person!!  It's astonishing how "right on" this definition is, considering what America is becoming as we speak.  This is now the USA.  And biden, like it or not, owns it, he can just take the jabs along with anything good he THINKS he's done.  He has done nothing but trash America ever since January 2020.  He is one of those moldy people I like to label as being a toadstool.  He is a nasty FUNGUS INFECTION (fungal) on the lives of the American people, to say the very least.
