You mocked the OP in order to show how clever you think you are Orrex Sep 2021 #87

Your choice F equals Obama and Biden are incompetent or worse. You stand by that? Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #8

The '08 meltdown- no meaningful accountability. Iraq invasion- no accountability. Gitmo still open Evolve Dammit Sep 2021 #28

You double down. Are Biden, Garland & Obama incompetent or are they worse? Which is it? Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #33

You have laid out several reasons why these cases must be meticulously prepared StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #19
