The 46 illegals wouldn’t have died, if
The 46 illegals wouldn’t have died, if Lying Corrupt Quid Pro KING Joe didn’t have open borders, and would enforce U.S. Immigration Laws. Political hack AG Garland is supposed to advise Corrupt Quid Pro not to break the law. The law on the border needs to be enforced. This trailer carrying the illegals would have never had a chance to cross if ICE were enforcing the border, the way it should be enforced, not the way Corrupt Quid Pro wants it enforced. The death of theses 46 illegals are on the hands of Corrupt Quid Pro.
You people are insane. No regard for the Constitution. Open support for the sedition of Militias. Traitors!
Trump appointed Republican officials in his administration have testified to your elaborate plot to overthrow the government of the United States. You do not stand for America or Liberty. You hate America today. I never signed up for your lying corrupt organization. I know your readers have been ordered not to watch the Jan. 6 committee hearings for great they may learn the truth. May your supporters soon be jailed for treason, for supporting political violence against our Country,
I’ll tell you what. I’ll watch a couple hours of that trash TV if YOU agree to watch the movie, “2000 Mules”.
Biden OWNs this big time
This one incident is worse than all the crapola the Leftist is still trying to pin on Trump! Will we ever see hearings on this? Hell No!
Federal law oath of office by government officials for purposes of enforcement. 5 U.S.C. 3331, . 5 U.S.C. 3333 5 U.S.C. 3331 violate that oath of office during their tenure of office 5 U.S.C. 7311 which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense. 18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: removal from office confinement fine.
It’s now 51 & counting! Add the 13 service personnel killed during the dumpster fire which was Biden’s botched pull out from Afghanistan & we’re talking some real criminal acts. Throw in all the military dogs that were left to the savages to kill while in locked cages in the airport & I think Biden should be put before a firing squad!
Poor decisions, lousy judgements,compromised paid for positions, we could not have elected more of an anti American leader then if we put on some Chinese communist, in the white house, or maybe because of the way Hunter Biden brags about his influence over Joe Biden we could have. Why do we we have open borders, or war on our energy industry ,inflation, shortages, all stemming from a corruption in leadership, making decisions against our American way of life and values. His America last policy is killing our Country.The mid terms are coming closer, vote out these democrats, keep them out of impeach every asshole who broke his oath to our Country to protect and serve, replace them with those who love our country and are not looking to line their own pockets but serve the America they are trying to take away from us.
Biden has failed at everything he’s touched. Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later…..and all of these failures lie ONLY at this feet.
