Shameless Democratologist. Just working to keep us on the rails. No filters. Some tact .. maybe. FELON Trump is a traitor to the U.S. & leader of the new White Supremacist party - MAGA. Know how your Congress voted! Believe their actions, not their lies!

Trump should absolutely replace Wiles with the unrestrained Nazi, Stephen Miller. With a failed midterm election and loss of one or both houses - there is no way that having an idiot zealot like Miller running amuck could possibly result in more criminal charges against FELON Trump. 🤣

Everyone should find her and line up for cards! If she refuses to give a gas card to you as a Democrat, it is illegal. The giveaway is likely legal under federal law because the cards are not given conditionally in exchange for a vote (18 U.S.C. § 597). If she refuses for any reason = illegal.
