It was in the elevator for two weeks. Not sure why it took maintenance so long to remove it. It was pretty funny seeing what new pair of panties he had on his head each morning.

Good practice for the Biden presidency. We’ll be riding with that clown, express elevator to hell, for the next 4 years if Trump doesn’t win!

Since Georgia made zero changes to their voting from November. At least one county quit counting last night and I read another county was blocking monitors, again. The rats have already shown they have are committed to massive cheating. I don’t expect this election to turn out differently.
