Here’s the video.  The Gateway Pundit reports that Rodgers even claimed Biden poops in his pants. Nothing but class!...The apocalypse doesn’t have to taste bad. That’s the theme of The Late Prepper. The site explains that most long-term storage food tastes awful and  offers six palate-pleasing food suggestions that are easy to digest as democracy crumbles…Some of the world’s smartest people in the room are listening to the Acquired podcast, according to the Wall Street Journal.
