That sounds a bit illegal, but then that’s nothing new. There will be no FBI investigation since the FBI was also in on it.

Can you imagine if Trump did a tiny fraction of the crap Biden has done? And still Republicans do nothing. Two years of this crap

The left knows that its propaganda can’t withstand comparisons with the truth. There’s no other explanation.

There are democrats who don’t agree with Biden, his goons or his perverts. Some are even waking up to Biden’s lies about the border.

If they could make that happen, they surely would.

Their hatred for us is white-hot and unquenchable.
