threaten/intimidate (dox) Democrats, judges, prosecutors (and their families), witnesses, court clerks, the FBI, a 5 star general, Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, women, the LGBTQ community, and election workers, well, that's ok... but when the MAGA cretins harass/threaten one of their own (and spouse)...OMG unacceptable!..

Honestly, I don't care...

Face it, folks, he is a slacker who wants the title and benefits but hides in the brush so he doesn't have to put out any effort.

Both jobs same SLACKER.

Assistant Coach ignored the clear warnings he got from team members.

As a Member of Congress, he just hides and throws stones.

Oh, and help plan the J6 attack.

The truth will see the light of day for both of these issues.
