It's the fault of all the trumpanzees who pulled the lever for President Shit-For-Brains. NONE of the power-brokers in the Dem party realized what needed to be done: Render him to Gitmo, then try, convict and execute Trump for treason on 1/6. Convict and imprison his henchmen and followers.

About 2 weeks after I started 1st grade at St. Brigid's School, on 9/15/63, the Klan bombed a Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, and killed 4 young girls of color. Today, another attack on a church, 2 kids dead. A pedophile President leads a movement rife with pedophiles. But they're "pro-family."
