Thanks for your letter, Mr. Abreu. In addition to keeping those documents on your end table and referring to them, perhaps you can educate us on how our (yes, our) great President Trump and his administration are trying to overturn democracy. As it is now, the vast majority are not seeing anything to be concerned about. If anything, it’d be easier to highlight actions by the treasonous Biden and Obama administrations than anything done by President Trump. Fortunately, President Trump is again acting to allow Americans to realize the promise of of America and for that we should celebrate each day, as well as 250 years as a country. Have a Trump-tastic day!
Yep, all those people in Minneapolis were just outside enjoying the brisk winter weather. And they enjoyed being targets, too.
Perhaps some education is in order here…by paying attention to current events :)[beam][beam]
Hilarious. Hey markolbert, if all they were doing were enjoying the brisk winter weather, they would have been fine. But when they were fooled by Democrats into sacrificing their lives…they made bad choices. Choices they can never recover from. Perhaps those folks should have spent their time familiarizing themselves with documents on the table similar to Mr. Abreu. Or heeded warnings from law enforcement. BTW, I agree some education is in order here, so…markolbert, can you please explain why Democrats in the SOTU speech aren’t willing to stand for law and order and why they hate Trump more than they love America? Thank you for your attention to this matter and have a Trump-tastic day!
