😂🤣🤣🤣😂
Thank you ever so much for the wonderful laughs in this most concerning time period in our U.S. history. Since our Justice system doesn’t seem to want to do their job and hold a fake, mentally ill, traitorous billionaire accountable, I suppose we’ll find out soon (Nov?) if the foreign (and domestic) influence campaign toward dictatorship will be successful or not. So much at stake right now, it hardly seems real. But real it most certainly is. Infinite thanks for fighting the good fight for truth, Justice, and the American way. YOU are all the 🇺🇸 REAL 🇺🇸 PATRIOTS!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
