If I were Net...I’m not sure if I would even respond. What are they trying to prove...except they are what we already know....they’re rats
Let them sit in chamber like everybody else.
Waste of time.

Bibi knows what the dems will try. They will try to bribe him and intimidate him. Then, they will hint that they would hate to see anything happen to his re-election campaign while they offer him some huge amount of money or a position in a democrat controlled corporation. It is so good to see a man of honor and strength piss in their faces. We need some like Bibi in DC.
