I think he'll get some donors from China to chip in for the library.

Why would they do that? He can't possibly do anything else for them, and I don't think they play the moral debt game. They'll discard him like a used condom.

With a half moon cut out on the front door. The only question will be if he can raise enough money to make it a two-holer.

Who the hell even goes to presidential libraries? And of those people who are inclined to go to presidential libraries, who the hell would go to a Brandon presidential library?

He’s get all his unlawful gotten not stored properly paperwork. Wonder if the same person from NARA (Natl & Records Admin) who yelled “foul” on President Trump will do the same with creepy gropin’ pedophile slowjoe? Better yet, is this dipstick still employed by NARA?

The boy needs to set his library up in his Delaware garage. Boxes of all his documents have already been thrown in there.
