Still a democracy in that people voted and won according to what they wanted, and were promised, lower taxes, cheaper eggs, greed and ignorance voted, democracy won. The “liberal” part, yeah, it was fun while it lasted, had a pretty good run. The grand experiment is over.

Yep…now we have Fox brazenly posting a juvenile’s photo and labeling him a “Man” … meanwhile they state another person is wanted in connection with the crime🙄

Agree 100%. BYW, of course T is NOT committed to any law! He is a psychopath. Why can’t Dems learn about how to deal with psychopaths? It’s about time…
