I have been mentally paralyzed since the election and the subsequent 93 days due to the cruelty, disrespect, mishandling and outright despicable behavior towards not following the rule of law from this administration. But I suspect that the felon has never read the United States Constitution nor understands that he took an oath of office... Continue Reading →
