But his LAPTOP…
Another “SHOCKING” discovery.
I’m getting sick of seeing the same names in all the corruption scandals. Not that I need to see new ones, but how about we start arresting all these criminals?
Maybe then we might get a good night’s rest.

To my PA peeps: PLEASE call Senator Fetterman’s office ASAP at 202-224-4254 and tell him to vote “No” on the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act is nothing more than nationalizing Jim Crow voter suppression and poll taxes, dressed up in the “sheep’s clothing” of “Election Integrity.”

You have GOT to be kidding me!
Officer, I'd like to report an Aggravated Spanishing
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"
