5timechamp Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 So how long before “Air” Jordan and his Repubs reconvene without telling Dems, lock the doors, vote Jordan in based on the majority present, tell those that object to pound sand, and then just do whatever they want like usual? We are at the rules are optional part of our history right? Again, they work with FOX propaganda machine and paint any protests as part of the deep states plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
