So now Chinese companies should start making Trump 2024 banners?
Gosh, what a surprise.......
Lol, only 7. Most ever in any impeachment.
Most guilty votes ever for impeachment. Most bi-partisan assessment of guilt by the senate. Framing matters.
Get me if you can ...

Betrayed. Crooks get away again.
