Nov 2020

Investigate the Trump Administration because that’s the only way we get to all of the Republican who aided and abetted in the treason, the looting of the treasury, theft of personal protection equipment states had ordered to fight the pandemic, . . .

They keep intentionally burning the house down and we keep showing up with water and forgiveness so we can all heal from the fire even as they are throwing sticks and debris on the hot spots to keep the fire going because they lost the election but might retain the Senate and thus will ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY investigate the Biden administration for the resulting water damage to the carpet.

It’s like giving my dog a treat each time he poops on the kitchen floor at dinner time. After years of the same sh*t, we can no longer blame the dog for doing what works.
