20. He didn't "win"
Mon Mar 4, 2024, 01:46 PM
Mar 2024

I have not forgotten Manafort, Kilimnick, Putin and who knows who else fuckery. The oozing sore invited corrupt conspiracy with Russia and everyone saw it, and everyone knows it. He brought his criminal "family" into our WH to do nothing more than grift and fuck with his "enemies," which is basically everyone everywhere except maybe Vlad and Bibi. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

I am sick to fucking death of weeks and months of MAGAt unwarranted waste of time and taxpayer money based on NOTHING, disgusting harassment of Hunter Biden, including a poster of his genitalia glaring to the world from the fucking House of traitorous MAGAt Reps; Fani Willis who is trying to do her damn job, making usually reasonable minded people to doubt her integrity and the entire blatantly obvious case against that revolting pig swill; I'm sick of it all! SICK.

Meanwhile talking heads take poisonous money to make idiotic public statements and laugh, Oh look what that silly rascal has done now! Incited violence and stumbled through a teleprompter while spewing hundreds more provable lies! Let's show his putrid alleged "face" for hours and cite polls some rich dude bought for him and conclude his inevitable election win! Which equals $$$$ for us! Oh then I heard Biden ate an ice cream cone in public! Also he's old! And that's BAD, so BAD for Democrats!
