- downplaying Russia’s attacks on our election?
- 20,000 documented lies and false statements

- replacing inspectors general for doing their jobs?
- separating families and putting children in cages to “deter” immigration?
- sending the military to the border as an election stunt?

None of these things have been too much for the regime and its supporters.

So, tell me honestly:
What is it you think they’re not capable of doing?
