Why would Joe Biden’s granddaughter receive a $ wire from Romania after Joe Biden left Romania?

The comments.

Apparently Hilary’s private death squad breached the security in Fauci’s secret lab in China where they were using a time machine to bring back mind control vaccines from the future so that they could use it to travel to the past to send all of Obama’s suits except the tan one to the drycleaner.

Elect clowns, expect a circus.

The Radical Left & #MSM are foaming at the mouth trying to convince Americans that THERE’S NO EVIDENCE to impeach. The evidence is as massive as all the $ Biden amassed! Do you agree that it’s piled so high he should’ve already been impeached? Let me know!
[….]

Writing in all caps is the Internets equivalent of deranged shouting, Mark. Just thought you should know that.

Responses from true believers:

I have been telling people that a year after he/Democrats cheated on the election. I was a Democrat until Obama started to change people’s minds

What is this person trying to tell us?

Absolutely! He should’ve been removed and tried for treason a long time ago. Remember when Trump called him out at the debates?! I do ! Our country has been hijacked & I’m honestly scared we’re headed towards communism.

There is Tons of evidence! The Extortion is on video for the entire world to see. The Bribery is exposed in the foreign currency transfers though 24 Shell companies to 9 Bidung family members.

Truth

The border is enough to impeach!
As an American I am tired of billions of taxpayer money going to Ukraine, just more $$ to launder

He’s as Crooked as a SNAKE!!!!

He has ALWAYS lied and cheated his way through life. He is a total disgraceful embarrassment to America. Impeachment IS long overdue (given the fact he should not even be there)!!!

Mark …. I wanna stay positive and pray for Americans during this difficult time in our history with record high inflation and destroying jobs day after day … people living paycheck to paycheck , I won’t be convinced with the Everyday rhetoric it’s time for Action ..
I truly believe that’s why Trump is leading in all the polls after the
Absurd Abuse from the Far left Grips of Power !

Okay…

Yes… absolutely, so much has been revealed.

Impeach Garland and Wray FIRST!

If 5% of what I’ve heard is true, he should be impeached, in jail & waiting to be sentenced for treason.

So, how did the remaining 95% get out there? Just asking.

I’ve been following the whistleblowers testimony and various other testimonies. Very telling.

Yeah the Demorats make me sick. It didn’t bother them to tie up President Trump during his 4 years but now they say we have more important things than to investigate Joey and his family. We need President Trump back in. Americans are hurting.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Ninety-one.

Yes However McCarthy obviously didn’t until he has now been pushed into a corner and I don’t think he wants to pursue this even now He is already waffling!!!

4th Congressional District, clown show, distraction, don't look over there, Donald Trump, former newsreader, impeachment, Kevin desperately tries to save his job, Mark Alford, no hat, social media, Squirrel!

Jarded Kushner. Saudi Public Investment Fund.

…In addition to Kushner’s financial ties to the Saudi government, Trump’s LIV golf tournament is being funded for an undisclosed amount by the Saudi Arabian government…

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 12, 2023]
Today, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct—a culture of corruption.
With the Speaker’s announcement, the House of Representatives now has the full weight of the Constitution behind it’s investigation.
Joe Biden’s pattern of behavior is deeply disturbing and concerning for our national security.
Biden has repeatedly been caught lying about critically important information from millions in foreign payments and 10% cut for the “Big Guy” to his business interactions with Hunter and his associations with 20 shell companies.
We need the bank records. We will soon get the answers that the American people are owed.

“its”

“…now has the full weight of the Constitution behind it’s investigation…”

WTF does that mean? Isn’t the Constitution in effect at all times?

“…Joe Biden’s Donald Trump’s pattern of behavior is deeply disturbing and concerning for our national security…”

Fixed it for you.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Some of the responses:

Talk about political moves. The evidence on trump is overwhelming. Not these lies about Biden. Biden is managing our relationships around the world so well and moving our economy from the bottom up.

Biden is winning the proxy war with Russia while holding the NATO Allies together. He is also effectively managing the asymmetrical war with the global fascists, while holding off the corporatists and anti-Democracy MAGA fascists here at home (like Alford).

the evidence on Trump has been overwhelming since 2016, yet nothing

Well, from Mark Alford (r), that is.

The only goal of a Biden impeachment inquiry is to distract from the twice impeached Florida man who is charged with 91 federal crimes.

No the republicans have Not uncovered anything. Except a Dad that Loves his son. You are just spitting in the wind.
How about asking HOW AND WHY Jared, son in law of trump, got TWO BILLION DOLLARS FRIM SAUDI? What did the trumps give them?

Well don’t you think you should first come up with some evidence? [….]

The only goal of a Biden impeachment inquiry is to distract from the twice impeached Florida man who is charged with 91 federal crimes.

Baseless. And still supporting previous for his subversive actions. Shame on you all for wasting Taxpayer time and $$.

You have coffee shops and radio shows to do. That’s your specialty.

Heh.

Mark, don’t you think you need evidence? #Fascism #TrumpCrimeFamily #useless

Trump:
I need you (GA) to find me 11,780 votes.
I need you (Ukraine) to produce dirt on Joe Biden.
I need you (Congress) to open an inquiry out of thin air.
The way he does one thing is the way he does everything. He’s a mobster, through and through.
This traitor can’t go to prison fast enough.

Covering fire from the Hairspray Brigade to try to lay down cover for the Orange Traitor in Chief.

But won’t SHE take his place..the other puppet

Mark Alford
[September 11, 2023]
In the 1930’s the press mostly hid the physical disability of President FDR brought on by polio, to make him look stronger on the national and world stage.
In the same way… today the legacy media is not showing the physically and mental decline of President Biden.
On conservative media …You will see clips of the mental gaffs, stumbles, confusions, long pauses, strategic blunders. But, if you’re a liberal you’re not seeing that.
The media needs to do its job and stop propping up this President.
[….]

The comparison with Franklin Delano Roosevelt is not what you think it is, Mark. Ahistorical boob.

Missouri Right to Life Praises the Supreme Court’s Decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Today’s Ruling Overturns High Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade Decision

Today we thank God! May HE be with us as we continue to defend the most precious children in this new era! Today we celebrate and then we go back to work to protect unborn babies and women from the abortion industry. May God continue to bless our work.
-Steve Rupp, President, Missouri Right to Life

[….]Recent polling indicates Missouri voters are open to rolling back the state’s near-total ban on abortion

Missouri has been trending towards Republicans for a generation, giving the GOP legislative super majorities it used to enact some of the nation’s most restrictive abortion laws.

Yet recent polling indicates Missouri voters are open to rolling back the state’s near-total ban, with 58% of respondents to a recent St. Louis University survey saying abortion should be legal in the first eight weeks, 75% favoring exceptions for rape and 87% when the life of the mother is endangered.
[….]

Gallup [national]
As you may know, the Supreme Court overturned its 1973 Roe versus Wade decision concerning abortion, meaning there is no constitutional protection for abortion rights and each state can set its own laws to allow, restrict or ban abortions. Do you think overturning Roe versus Wade was a good thing or a bad thing?

2023 May 1-24

38% – Good thing
61% – Bad thing
1% – No opinion

Yesterday, in west central Missouri, at a campus street fair:

Forced birth.

[detail]

Uh, no one who is sane supports “infanticide”. It’s illegal.

Nothing about maternal mortality.

Nothing about access to healthcare.

Nothing about the death penalty.

Nothing about war.

That’s pro forced birth.
