Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA
There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.
He crazy.

This is a friendly reminder that raw milk is not safe for human consumption despite what wellness influencers will tell you.
For example, 21 people, including 6 under the age of 10, got E. coli or Campylobacter infections after drinking raw milk from the same farm in Florida.

Ventolin, the brand name for albuterol or salbutamol, was first sold in 1968. The first generic inhaler was not approved in the US until 2020 due to manipulation by the pharmaceutical industry. Because there are still so few approved “generic” alternatives it remains cost prohibitive for many people
He needed air. The price was $539.
When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.
5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
He paid with his life.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
