They don't really need to be able to read a teleprompter and talk at the same time. Their monthly payments are made into the off-shore account ---- until they're not.

the idea that they were lied to and steered into a false faith. As long as FOX Spews is roaring in their ears and eyes they will continue to do so. FOX was built from the ground up to do this and it ought to be taken off the air for that reason alone.

We are seeing some progress in Wisconsin returning to its Democratic roots. In 4 more years they might be able to dump him.

The other big statewide election was for governor where Democrat Tony Evers was reelected by 3.4% and with more votes than Johnson received being reelected to the Senate. White Evers received 48,000 more votes in his governor's race than Black Mandella Barnes (who had been Ever's Lt. Governor) did in his Senate race, Meaning that Barnes would have been elected to the Senate had he received even 20,000 fewer votes than Evers.
So more people were willing to vote for a white governor than a Black Senate candidate.

They seem to get away with everything.

I sincerely hope someone is taking it qll down for future reference.

All these foreign agents need to be charged, even the ones like Johnson who are too stupid to tie their own shoes.

The orange lardo is having problems getting money to pay his judgement and the Democratic house reps took the repukes to task and Lev Parmas destroyed their fake talking points and exposing them as agents of Russia.

So delicious!
