She would be as big of a failure as whitmer

[montana_patriot]

Why did the 1/6 committee need pardons if they were not breaking the law? Thank you President Trump for releasing the political prisoners the despot democrats held as hostages for 3 years.

All these idiots yelling about the J6 pardons are the same ones who chere when cop killers are released.

When I picture Detroit in my head this is the woman I see a white woman who doesn't even know the difference between Ford and Chevy

[emsleywyatt]

The Secretary of State doesn't just do election stuff. They're also responsible for administering driver licenses, car registrations, that sort of thing. She has vastly improved things it that regard.
