Looking for a last-minute holiday gift?

With wind chill it was 7 degrees F at JFK’s inauguration

So, it takes a corrupt convicted criminal scumbag to make an another corrupt accused criminal scumbag agree to the deal Biden proposed months ago. How many people have died in the interim? But, hey? Whatever works!
