er, 1932
Whatever they had, they shot it at Trump a long time ago. They are scraping the residue out of their gum barrels because they are out of powder.
Is that it wow this is pretty pathetic for even the commie standards
There are still 30 Pence fans on this forum. What a bunch of suckers.
If he’d only been as clever as Hillary and said, “At this point what difference does it make?” he would be ok, right?
That was debunked as a lie eventually
That’s like Vindman trying to testify to third hand/fourth hand “info” that he “maybe” heard about.
Nothing new. Move along. Still in office as President.
.
Biden was meeting in private rooms at shady restaurants with rogue regimes and criminals to the tune of $30 Million plus.
Biden gets awards from the same Deep State People.
2020 was exactly a subverted election that culminating in the installation of an illicit p resident .
Exactly...
Seems Smith is giving an opinion but its not based on a point of law. Smith is spending taxpayers money to stay busy.
I hear he once stepped on a bug and killed it.
Trump is evil! /LOL
