I can try, it kept giving me misspelled words and I got frustrated. I'll try to fix them in the morning. I meant to change it to something else.

TRUTH! If the Dems cheated in the general election, why didn't they vote straight Democrat down ballot? Make it make sense.

This is a huge no. Do better NPR.

If we had rule of law in the U.S., Trump would have been imprisoned many times over by now.
