Luminosa Miami and Harbor Freight adsare directly below your post so my guess id you are using an ad blocker. Personally, I don't mind the ads because they are paying the bills. It's much betterthan requiringa subscription fee.

It would have been totally irresponsible not to have had such undercover agents watching the crazies, that building houses our Congress. You think it should have just been left up to the crazies to decide how to protect Speaer Pelosi and other members. It seems that you think the fact that some agencies like the FBI did'nt just wal away and leave Congress with no protection somehow excuses the barbarians who were sacking the Capital for the crimes they committed.

So go celebrate te end of the Dept. of Education MAGAmorons, emphasis on MORONS! BTW, I finally got my degree at are 55 after raising 3 kids by myself.
