Is this a bad day?

Last edited Fri Jan 22, 2021, 06:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Your tax attorneys all quit.

Your personal attorney is talking to the DA.

The last bank in your home state tells you to piss off.

Nancy P after being asked if she can send the impeachment papers over in the middle of the next month tells Mitch McConnell, "How about next Monday?"

And Joe Biden has fired a kill shot. I want to know about the Russian cyber attack in 2020 and why did you fire 2 directors of cyber security for America before and during the Russian hack? Btw when did you talk to Putin and about what?

Is reisling good in the afternoon?

18. when did you talk to Putin and about what?

There has got to be NSA or CIA or FBI tapes of Trump's Putin calls. For the sake of national security, it just makes sense to record those kind of calls.

Let's see what leaks out in the weeks/months to come.

So Donald why didn't you do anything after learning about the cyber attack? And while we are at it why did you fire the intelligence people who found out that Vlad/Russia was helping Bernie? And what about all those calls?

This will sink Trump. Btw didn't Joe teach law and has been on the US Senate's intel and foreign affairs communities?

How do you run one of the biggest cyber security firms in the country and have the same level of encryption that you use to login to Amazon? I mean come on, you're protecting America's network infrastructure, not buying cookbooks.

The Repubs will paint this as a Witch Hunt, a Hippo Shoot, Revenge, Nastiness from Dems.
Dems being uncharacteristically nasty.
Unwilling to let bygones be bygones.
Out for revenge.

But it is not.

It's more like getting the balance back right, tracking down miscreants and applying the law fairly, rooting out non-patriots, anarchists and breakers of the Constitution.

No revenge intended, honest!
