N Y T is drivel
Is that the same thing as "no standing"? 🤡

Alinsky 101: Accuse your enemy of what you are doing.
Let them worry. They should. They’ve committed at least 8 years worth of crimes against President Trump. A newly energized DOJ that has had its upper echelons replaced with honest people is all it takes. Fire the upper echelon of every major agency in this government, in fact.
The democRATS and DemoKKKrats cannot stand it because President Trump will appoint judges that.....wait for it......follow the law.
Oh! The Humanity!
This idiot does not live in the real world, or they are a lying SOB.
Unlike Trump, they committed actual CRIMES.
