I’m not the first person to note that whatever Democrats accuse their opponents of doing, it is they, in fact, who are doing it. If you are puzzled why the Biden Administration scotched the Keystone Pipeline but gave a thumbs up on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany, perhaps this explanation will help.

“According to FEC records, Vincent Roberti — one of D.C.’s most powerful lobbyists, and owner of his own firm, Roberti Global — has donated nearly $545,000 to Democratic Party institutions and candidates since 2017, while also bundling nearly $250,000 more.”
Time to wash this corruption out of Lady Liberty’s hair for good.
Just when movie theaters are beginning to open.
The simple fact that you both believe something will come of this is astounding.
How naive are you?
Have you not been paying attention to the last 40 years where there has been less and less accountability for anyone in gov’t....especially Democrats?
Why don’t you wake up and stop living in a TV episode where everything gets wrapped up in the end and the bad guys go to prison?

Can anyone spell treason - or is the saw by the Elizabethan author Sir John Harrington a true description of the US of the late 20th and early 21st century?
