So is that a '68 Chevelle?

Does 1860s Ireland count as a third world country?

Blame SCOTUS. Roberts would never have let this case go to trial.

And thanks to the shocking decision in Trump v. US that decrepit toad and his henchmen are not accountable for their crimes..

Impeach John Roberts.

The pressure came from the election schedule. There was plenty of time to indict the co-conspirators as Smiths says. The kill shot was Trump v. US.

Let's remember that John Roberts and his five SCOTUS clones let this happen.

Sorry, John Roberts says lying is a core executive function,

Actually we benefit from that too. The architecture is amazing, and the different ideas of the Almighty are inspiring. People are just marvelous. Also, lamb saag with naan.

Nothing that happened can be laid at the feet of the Dems.

Sure, Dems must aggressively go after all the Trump criminals.
Sure they were too willing to look forward instead of back starting in 1992 and forever after. But Trump is on SCOTUS.

Have you read Trump v. US? Do you think John Roberts and his Trump-loving colleagues were ever going to allow a trial? I don't.

This is all on SCOTUS. Not Democrats, not Biden, not Merrick Garland, not Jack Smith, not the hundreds of people working on this case.

That last paragraph would make a jury furious.

Maybe pay these students more and fire a bunch of administrators.

Sounds mostly like what makes men happy.
