A mighty fine motorcycle.
I would guess they’re referring to legitimate presidents.
Legitimate or illegetimate, Biden can fire him.
Should read: The Genral Secretary of the Central Committee of the DDC, (Read: Democrat Communist Party) fired the Social Security Commissioner.
You got it. Trump screwed up by keeping all those bad people around.
Saul. Jewish? If so, another Jew purged by the anti-Semites in the Biden administration!
Who or what is a Kilolo Kijakazi ?

One of the recent dead of night arrivals via the southern border from the Congo.
“ Legitimate or illegetimate, Biden can fire him.”
And you seem to be fine with that idea.
Why hasn’t Jill Biden resigned from her union? Isn’t that a conflict of interest, since she’s running the show anyway?
Who or what is a Kilolo Kijakazi ?
Biden doing what Trump should have done at the beginning of his administration.
Biden isn’t doing a damn thing other crapping in his depends. Every story that says Biden did something is a lie. A shadow government is controlling the country.
