They’re All the Same: Schumer, Thune, Johnson, Jeffries — All Playing Games While America Suffers

Let’s be honest here — I’m done with all of them. Every single one of them. Chuck Schumer, John Thune, Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries — all of them are the same. They may stand at different podiums, wear different color ties, and talk to different audiences, but when it comes down to it, they’re playingContinue reading “They’re All the Same: Schumer, Thune, Johnson, Jeffries — All Playing Games While America Suffers”
