the false "binary choice" that Schumer hid behind and fckd the House Dems in the process The Strategic Poverty of Shutdown or Surrender open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

trump took the course back in the 60's...well, he didn't actually attend or anything, but he did get a good grade when he paid some guy to show up and take the tests
