It's a time of decision. Do they MAGAt to their deathlike Herb Cain?
ReplyDeleteOr not.
It takes a real spine to jump off the tRUMP train after they have diddled and fiddled and 200,000 Americans have died with Jared the Failed running their sh*tshow of a non response.
Almost forgot, they better pass some real legislation before tens of millions of American men women and children start going hungry are homeless due to eviction.
