Why does everyone feel the need to make this political. The date was 2017 and many liberals hated Trump's unusual form of intelligence. I bet everyone of you voted for Biden, and today, 8/25/2021, our country is in an awful mess and in terrible danger. Illegal immigrants are pouring across our southern border in mass quantities. We are experiencing a world-wide pandemic with mask mandates and dangerous unapproved vaccines. Afghanistan is under control of the Taliban and American citizens are stranded with no way out. Biden is a demented idiot with no standing in the world. I could go on and on, but I think my point has been made. God bless the USA.

1. The day to stop immigrants from entering this country was in 1585. That ship has sailed. My ancestors have been hear for 10,000 years. Those immigrants you whine about share the blood of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca, and so their ancestors have also been here 10,000 years. If your so worried about the population, then pack it up and go back to Europe. 2. The Afghanistan policy that was followed at the VERY BEGINNING of the Biden Administration, was developed, written, and signed by the TRUMP Administration. EVERY news station explained that, even Fox. By the time Biden got to office, it was too late to change course. 3. Biden and Trump are FOUR years apart in age...FOUR. And Trump is the only one that has shown signs of Dementia. How do I know this? Well, aside from the letter written and signed by MANY members of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association, I have degrees in Sociology and Psychology, so I'm a pretty good judge of these things.

Yea, but this is lost on the douche and his supporters since they don't read anything outside the checkout line in Safeway/Walgreens.

Swear to god, I'm working in a bookstore and an old lady asked if we had a book, from when she was a little girl, it was blue and had a teddy bear on the cover. She'd like to give it to a grandchild for Christmas. It was Dec 24th.
