I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

All of this is because the United States had a knee jerk (heavy on the jerk) reaction to having a two term black President and not enough people got heir asses out of their recliners to go vote.
Good job.

Trump is posting more photos of dead birds and wind turbines today.
In one photo he captioned “Eagles going down!”, it’s actually a photo of a red kite from 2010 in Spain.
The other photo is from 2006 in Taiwan.

People voting for Trump believed him when he said he was so rich he couldn't be influenced by money.
You got a lying conman, who got rich by money laundering for the Russia mob and taking bribes and cheated people who worked for his companies.
Now he's stealing from our country, selling us out.
