BREAKING NEWS:

President Biden has just awarded PREEMPTIVE PARDONS to Liz Cheney, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and the entire January 6 Committee.

Good!

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer for partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than 30 red states combined, but they won’t admit it.

Another way for him to pilfer revenues….
