Portlandia, I am so proud of you

What a treat to see Chance in DC

‘We can’t delay any longer’: Trump urges Bondi to prosecute his rivals In a Truth Social post Saturday, the president specifically called out Sen. Adam Schiff, former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James for prosecution.

I get wanting to say on message about that dumpster fire of a bill, but damn, Chuck! Doesn’t look good to say shit like this when Trump is trying to push some tyranny in LA.
