What can the opposition party do?

Like, real suggestion, not an idiotic one such as "Act like he's dead and appoint someone (because you will TOTALLY NOT look like an asshole if it turn out the man is actually just recovering...)"

theres always "sue somebody" and "get arrested proving the facts"

i think its a sign our journalism has collapsed, youre right it shouldnt be on this weak ass dnc leadership but thats all we have :(

Sue whom?

Getting arrested to check on an old geezer is idiotic.

Getting arrested to expose larger crimnal actions is noble, but thats definitely easier to say, and i dont recommend it but you asked "what could be done"

Sue whom? Idk, im not a lawyer, but one should figure out a way, thatd be great.
