"The My Pillow guy". Hysterical.

[EAMason-evpl]

Devin Noonan's recommendation? I do not understand why Noonan has not been arrested?? The evidence against him is already in the public domain!! Doesn't take a law degree to see this man should be in court.

22 hours until the TRAILER TRASH is removed from the white house.

[kathleenaustin]

Get out ALL the loyalists to this Dictator!!! That's disgusting and dangerous!!!

Michael Ellis, Devin Nunes advocate = lots of warning lights, bells, whistles to say the least.

[lexas]

Dam right. All the legacy political clown appointees have to be dealt with.

[judithmatthews]

Need to lock him out of the top secret files.

[judiesuh]

I am curious to know..could the new Biden administration "remove" all these political appointees put into place by ex-P??

[Don-ihdn]

Lame duck period should be abolished or rules should be made

[francisjames]

Jeremy bash talking trash about this clown bout to leave town.

I like how we've all agreed to call him the my pillow guy instead of naming him 😂

[isidralopezortiz]

They can’t start impeach procedures in the Senate but they cab put in these people.

[ehole]

Ted Cruz's staff led capital tours on January 5th. Texts were sent to people in his district (like me) asking them to join him on January 5th and 6th in DC.

[irmahernandez]

I hope MIKE PENCE sees what he could’ve avoided by removing TRUMP through the 25th amendment .

[oceanrock]

Smart and decent woman. Keep her safe.
