No police protection and no criminal prosecutions. Double barrel Rip offs.
And it’s your damn fault that they are this way.
No, Psaki says "Pandemic."
Nice place ya gots there, be a shame if you was looted.
I gots your nice, new, vax-pass card reader right here that only lets people into the store one at a time who have their vaccinations, carbon credits and social scores all in good order.
Yes, they are this conniving....
The only thing that will solve this is strict new gun control, and banning all fossil fuels!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!
That’ll teach ‘em.
Enjoy the suck!
You forgot to mention that he is also responsible for mean tweets, jungle rot, creeping crud and fallen arches.
They need to keep room in the jails for the real criminals - White Supremacist Terrorists that are the "greatest threat to 'our' Democracy."
Looting, smash-and-grabs and robbery are "small potatoes" compared to what the FBI and DOJ are really after.
Not midnight basketball?
The legacy of Joe Biden is being written...day by day. Add this chapter as well to his accomplishments.
