"Trump says Biden shouldn't 'wrongfully claim' White House ahead of ex-VP's speech"
ReplyDeleteAnd yet the only one wrongfully claiming victory is the soon to be ex-president. Weird.
"Trump unhappy with legal team's lack of major impact on election count"
Face it folks, Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani did look like Dumb and Dumber.
"Alex Jones Calls On Pro-Trump Protesters To 'Surround The White House And Support The President'"
And yet, as Biden has pointed out, the federal government has the ability to easily escort trespassers out of the White House. Weird.
Isn't the White House already "surrounded"?
ReplyDeleteMonday there were pictures of the "un-scalable barrier" the President ordered be put in place around Fort Trump in expectation of the riots and insurrection that were to start Election Night.
^^^^
ReplyDeleteWell weird it's a fact that ballots arrived in the middle of the night and one was from a man that was born in 1857 and his vote was for Biden. Weird. And also the person who was working the polls in MI who said the voting machines took Trump votes and turn them to Biden votes. I'm sure that person is going to be a witness in court. This is one of many things that happened. Weird. But congrats to all of the corrupt democrats that cheated this election and stomped on the American people because their are powerful people out there behind the scenes who are going to make sure China Biden and Nigger slut Kamala are the next commies in the White House. I will have to say you did a good job.
