  1. As long as fake Joe Biden is running the show people aren't going to work and that plays right into the democrats hands of divide and conquer. Make everyone dependent on the Gov. Those were Nancy Pelosi's words too. Democrats want a free ride so bad that they are willing to let the Gov. take us into communism. Think about it what kind of a Gov. lets the CDC decide whether you pay rent or not.

    Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!! Chairman Joe's printing presses have already added $35,000 to the cost of a new home. Wood, paper, gasoline, oil and many more items have already begun a steep pricing increase. Dollar stores won't be a dollar much longer, but will start to look much better, even to the stupids who voted these commies in. Chimpster doesn't see this from momma's basement, but the rest of the stupids should do a little research to see what their winning the election is going to cost their sjw asses.
