Cal spends 30 bill per year on illegals.

I’d settle for this one.
Biden is not only a plagiarist, he’s an extortionist.
They have always been blackmailers.
Democrats, even though outnumbered by slaves on their plantations, were almost 100% successful at keeping their slaves in line by just occasionally cracking a whip. They haven’t lost that skill.
Does Biden have the capacity to make decisions? Is it Obama taking control and letting Joe take the blame?
What if the gop opted to have that kind of arrangement?
