ALL ROADS LEAD to PUTIN
"Hillary Clinton suggested that President Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin during the Capitol Riot in a podcast interview with Speaker Pelosi."
Hillary:
“I would love to see his phone records, to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our capitol. But we all know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy.”
Hillary:
“Do you think we need a 9/11 type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together and explain what happened?”
Pelosi:
“I do. To your point who is he beholden to — as I’ve said over and over…as I pointed to him, with you Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”
Fact Check: Sleepwalker will sworn in as president tomorrow.
Before and after his virtual speech (i.e. reading of TOTUS), he will be the phone with his puppet master Barack Obama.
I ask again. Do the Russians want to be across the negotiating table with these incompetent people, who have nukes?
Sure these people will screw things up, make America weaker, and make things very easy for Russians tactically. But in the meantime and all during their misrule these sons of error and folly have the potential to sleep walk into a general war or a nuke exchange.
Sundown on the American political scene lead by Mr. Sundowner himself.
The sun sets on America.
declare war already u fools attack or go back 2 sleep think about it feed ur head
