Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

All along, "SAF" has been a Shameless Advertising Farce!

So evidently by current US administration standards, it would be okay if someone happened to abduct our criminal president…..

“Irony” isn’t nearly a strong enough word
