He has been buying Cheap Labor Express stooges.

It’s better for US (US citizens) if he keeps his money.

“...It’s about patriots now...”

Always has been, Jersey.

It’s just that people woke up to that fact in the last election.

The Bush family is committed to making the USA into North Mexico, has been since Daddy Bush was in the White House, probably since Yeb! married a Mexican and produced “the little brown ones” (GHW Bush on his grandchildren)
They were paid quite handsomely to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
This guy is one of hundreds who have been paying off most of the GOP to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans. They want amnesty for 30 million.

GWB REDUCED border and interior enforcement AFTER 9/11.
That was unforgivable.

I’ve related this story before, but several years ago, my brother and I had a lengthy chat with Don Davis, of Don’s Guns I Indy in one of his several stores.

Most will remember him locally for his wacky late-night commercials where he ended everyone by makinga gun with his fingers and saying “I don’t want to make a lot of money. I just LUUUUV to sell guns.”

Others may remember him from the debate on the Assault Weopons Ban. he was on national TV, C-span and every venue he could find to voice his support for it.

so, my brother asked him “why?”

He laughed long and hard, and said “because I had several shipping containers full of of the items on the list and I made a fortune jacking the price and selling them before the Ban went into effect”

(I used the quotes because those were his exact words, as best my memory serves)

Big political donors are another branch of the ‘Deep State’ dedicated to completely controlling the little people.

Take away gun freedom, and the number of dead people will go up exponentially.
