19. I care if we once again get sidetracked

And the stoneless whimps of the GOP fall for his shit again.
He doesn’t need a ballroom. No military person, no other POTUS has ever asked for one.
He’s demented, and lying. He should be in jail for breaking the law with his ballroom.
Also, Iran. Also, Epstein. Also, did the price of gas go down following this brief incident? Has anyone gotten their health insurance back? A raise? Or did they just get fired, or have their food stamps taken away? Can anyone afford child care now? Pay off a student loan?
Also, Iran. Also, Ukraine. Also, Cuba.
Sorry or concerned is not at all what I feel. Angry that the media still falls for this garbage.

Yup... GiqueCee Apr 27 #51
Buckshot is mandated in densely populated areas because its maximum (lethal) range is significantly less than sop Apr 27 #52
