Biden will not be entering the White House. More likely a prison cell at Gitmo.

But, By God, we have a Space Force.

Trump is screwing things up as much as possible for Joe. How does the GOP think this is alright? How do his cult reconcile the fact that call themselves patriots but will stand by while he pulls crap like this. The big Macho Man is just a scared, little bitch.Adios, MFer!

Republicans Strategy to weaken a Biden chance of success, even if it causes death & suffering ?

Thanks to America’s corrupt democrat politicians
