East Palestine Business Owner: Joe Biden Only Visiting ‘Because It’s an Election Year’
Breitbart ^ | 01/31/2024 | HANNAH BLEAU KNUDSEN

President Joe Biden is only showing up to East Palestine, Ohio — one year after the devastating train derailment rocked the community — “because it is an election year,” DJ Yokley, a local business owner, pointed out.

“I think it boils down to the American people have awakened to realize that the leader of our country did not show up to the greatest catastrophe of 2023,” he said during an appearance on Fox News.

“And now he’s going to show up because it is an election year…President Trump came and supported us when he didn’t have to, and I think we saw right through it from the beginning,” he continued:

And not to make it political — because I will support any president that serves our country because otherwise it’s like, again, I’ve said on your program before, it’s like rooting against your favorite team’s quarterback just to see the backup — you know, it’s a scenario where we know what he’s doing.

Resident DJ Yokley is not on our side...
"President Trump came and supported us when he didn’t have to, and I think we saw right through it from the beginning”

"And not to make it political — because I will support any president that serves our country because otherwise it’s like, again, I’ve said on your program before, it’s like rooting against your favorite team’s quarterback just to see the backup — you know, it’s a scenario where we know what he’s doing."

His last sentence is a real dog's breakfast of incoherent thoughts, but it sounds like he supports Biden no matter what.

The folks there pretty much have dark Brandon’s number at this point.
They should not show up at any public appearance and turn their backs towards him when his motorcade passes by.

Hope Dr. Jill sends cookies.

By the way...where is Dr. Jill??

Why do I think Biden’s first question when he gets to East Palestine and impatiently looking at his watch will be “Where’s Netanyahu”?

A lot of people take the attitude, “Well, he’s our president so we need to support him.” Doesn’t mean he will vote for him when gets a chance to vote for Trump.

Biden’ll get publicity for being in EPalestine........but he’ll be in a venue organized for another purpose.

He cant draw crowds on his own.....Americans despise his border policies and his destruction of the economy.

So Biden has to use the old political trick....showing up at an event for another purpose that does draw crowds.

Biden’ll dupe the voters into thinking people showed up to support him.

Not only an election year, but Bill Johnson, our very popular Republican District 6 rep is retiring. Bill has been right on top of the whole East Palestine mess from the first day. The Obama clique may think they can steal the seat back, but I doubt they can. The War on Coal still resounds around here.

Joe Biden is only showing up to East Palestine, Ohio.

By Friday he’ll go on TV and say he went to Gaza to get the mess cleared up.

“Well, he’s our president so we need to support him.”

I think that was somewhat true decades ago when there wasn’t that much difference between D and R. But today’s R is left of yesteryear’s D and today’s D is left of Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin.

But lots of lo-info people don’t have a clue.

JUST IN: Joe’s presidential address to the people of Palestine has been leaked.

“I came as soon as I heard busloads of migrants are
on their way to the welcoming city of E Palestine.”

“And dont you worry. Just as soon as I give $115 billion tax dollars
to Ukraine, you will get all the federal help you need. No joke.”

Non-doctor Jill is probably in hiding because she has become a liability as she made herself into a laughing stock.
