Just another Democrat following orders.

Something like 50% of democrats have a diagnosis of mental illness. Not joking. It’s the party of the insane.

They’ll get to it right after they figure out whose cocaine it was in the White House in that baggie marked “Hunter’s Coke.”

Also, the side walk had a pretty good slope to it, so they’re having to be careful with the investigation.

Ok…next lets have “Waldo” carry a 16 foot ladder and an AR15, and see if they can pick him out from a crowd.

Old coot Biden was screaming about gun control yesterday. He was all evil looking and had that cootish sneer as he yelled.

I would not be surprised to see them pull some more antics with guns during convention time.

His intentions were unclear.

The Secret Service believes he was a far right operative that confused the RNC for the DNC convention.

I’m beginning to believe domestic terrorist sleeper cells aren’t the paranoid conspiracy theory I thought they were.
