How could someone with 34 felonies become president?

Dark ages #2 coming at ya!

There it is

I just leave this here.....

Nice to be here, away from that other hate-filled place. Hoping my friends from there will follow be here and we can all be reunited. Cue Peaches and Herb, just to show my vintage.
