*Trump made it clear when he announced he was running for president that he
was an outsider and wasn’t part of the “swamp” and would challenge the
swamp rats (pretty much everyone there). He made good on that promise and
got all sides turned against him, including about half the citizens. *
I’ve asked that question too and the answer is either nothing or undoing bad
things Trump did ( no mention of any positives) or that Trump is a bad person
and Biden is a good person. No indications of what specific policies would be

The body shop was making some minor repairs and discovered the rust was too
much for them to tackle so they suggested it would be cheaper to replace
the panels. Wasn't cheap but I am happy with the results. So now I have a
380K mile 300TD with virtually zero rust and a clean leather interior.
Thanks Andrew. Did you tackle that yourself?

Unfortunately the rest of us will pay for the lesson.
Trump's principle contribution was to show the ruling class was corrupt and
incompetent, not to mention evil.
-Original Message-
From: Mercedes On Behalf Of Kaleb
Biden is an illegitimate and illegally installed president. Period. The
Republican Party needs to be eviscerated for not backing Trump. I hope a third
Patriot or whenever party is created just to destroy the Republican Party. It
might not gain traction for a few election cycles and the
"undoing everything the last president did."
