Haunted by Marley’s Ghost?

You know, I’ve always been annoyed by people who publicly mourn their pets.

Joe Biden, Blamer-in-Chief

The important point of His Fraudulency’s Tuesday speech was that he, Joe Biden, is not responsible for anything. Nothing is his fault, ever. Instead, everything that has gone wrong since January 20 is because of you bad people who refused to get vaccinated: If you are not fully vaccinated, you have good reason to be […]
