Thank you Biden for all your hard work. If Trump could have done it why did he not do it

[nancyduncan]

The really cool part is that Trump will now claim to have singlehandedly arranged for the release of all those involved. 🌹🌺🌷 18:01

In my family investigation I found that my four time Grandfather was apparently fathered by either the owner or another white man on the plantation in North Carolina. He was listed in the Census as a mulato.

Oh, wait, we have to give Donald Trump some credit. After all, he does want to bring his January 6th patriots home. 🙄
