      This is the reason why we are in the mess we are in. This is the reason why Trump is needed. Because the democrats give us such a bunch worthless candidates that haven't a clue as to what they are doing. Joe Biden, Harris, Poop Chute Pete, Mayorkus, Schiff and so on and on. Democrats only have themselves to blame for Trump. Compared to most all the democrats Trump is a genius. He pretty much solved the border problem single handed. Don't believe me just look up the numbers. Trump's highest number is 800,000 in one year with less then 500,000 in his last year. Biden is at 2 million a year. I know you'll have a bunch of excuses as democrats always do. All democrats should be thrown out of office until they can take responsibility for their poor policies.

      They are doing what they said they would do from the beginning, even MCConnell said it, he just wanted to work a little more secretly and smarter. Their only task and aim is to do everything to let the Biden government not be successful. Now that their main political show, they would be interested in border and migrants, has been exposed, just not for their stupid cult who believe every fairytales just not the truth, we absolutely know there is nothing of interest connected with America or American people. It is Russia first and to get their dictatorship just like in Russia. So invented are the children under earth and masses of other lies. The American people are of zero interest for them just like the border.
      To claim to be the fighter for children is out of the Hiltler playbook. Google Hiltler quotes. he said people would easily give up every freedom and endure everything if you tell them you do it for the children. E.g burning books and end this way free speech is disguised to be worried about children,.
