“...$50 says it was a public school teacher who did it...”

And probably an Antifa/BLMer as well.

Didn’t someone get 5 year’s probation for stomping on a rainbow flag. But I wager that if the guilty are coughs. Nothing would happen.

Were Representatives Tlaib, Carson or Omar on vacation in CA? Where was Speaker Peelousi? Was she at home or vacationing in the ‘inland empire’? Not that I am suggesting anything.
