An Otto Penn library??? Omygosh. A Porta-Potty would suffice.

Thoroughly discredited but determined to pretend his was a normal presidency. Or, maybe just looking for some kickbacks from the creditors. The family is notionally short on fund now that the gravy train of off the tracks

They’re crying poor-mouth now but I’m not buying it for a second. They must have billions hoarded in different places around the world. They couldn’t possibly already have spent all that they stole.

A 2 HOLE OUTHOUSE IS TOO GOOD FOR A BIDEN LIBRARY.
