Can we get a 10th and 11th appointment to the courts to balance things out, President Biden? No? Oh well, I guess its game over.
It’s a weird strategy to show up and explain how one team operates without rules and lies about everything, but it’s the other guy that’s the problem. I can see that you’re one good faith fella.
