Gaetz withdrawal is not a victory [View all]

Last edited Thu Nov 21, 2024, 07:40 PM - Edit history (1)

Trump doesn't care about who the AGbis, as long as they are loyal to him over the Constitution.
The next one the Federalists put up will get a pass and do as much damage.

Update: Now it's Pam Bondi, who is worse than Gaetz.
