Great another criminal getting a promotion with our tax dollars. Love it. Matter of fact, I make a motion to nominate my homie Imajae for speaker of the house. He’s a criminal too but atleast he’s honest.

The GOP needs to get it together or our country is truly doomed! Time to put the American people first.

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 3:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

If he does get enough votes, you know he's not the right guy for the job. That's how jacked up our country currently is.

It does concern me somewhat that it seems all the republicans likes him. Is he just a crowd pleaser Or will he stand For the right..
