I’ve had this pinned on that other site for a long time. Today I will pin it on BlueSky! It will remind us of how Trump’s presidency ended & that he plans to pardon those who were convicted. Such a fine example of what not to do! I’m so glad we had Biden for 4 years.

Have you wondered why people around Donald Trump are trying to shield and protect a sexual predator instead of the victims of his illness?

Donald, where's the military? Where are the troops? Were you sitting and looking at the TV as this unfolded because your senile brain could not process the violence?

He said he could shoot a person dead on 5th Ave. and still get elected & get away with it & maybe he could, but I don't think even his followers will allow him to rape a 13 year old on 5th Avenue and get away with it. And yes, for the record, she was raped a few apts east of 5th Ave. on 71st street.

For creating false flags, lies, and violence against his own citizens DJT will never receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Prize goes to
Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela, for promoting freedom, democracy and promoting unity not war.
