A left-wing guy with a gun may not stop a right-wing guy with a gun, but will certainly surprise the hell out of him...

"The left hijacked the election."

It's been almost 3 1/2 years. When were you planning on presenting your first piece of evidence in court?

"The left hijacked the election."

By having a candidate that is sane, rational, smart and cares about everyone as opposed to the piece of garbage rage tweeting narcissist who stole national secrets to show off at his vermin infested golf motel.

Kind of telling the Biden kicked his ass from the basement.

People appreciate decency and honesty in a man of which dementia don has none.

The fact that a war criminal dictator had to help him in 2016 and is directly helping him now says all you need to know.

Then how come real nazis love trump so much?

Furthermore, why do you? If I was at a party and I noticed nazis and klanmen hanging out, I'd leave that party.

Biden is a old feeble dementia patient who can't put a sentence together and falls down all the time. Also a evil mastermind controlling the world from his secret lair in the basement. From where he destroyed Trumpy in the last election that he rigged.

You magabillies crack me up.
