Also, remember how Trump hollered that he wanted to see Obama's transcripts? Prof. Toru Tanaka Jul 2024 #36

Yes... A distinction without a difference and only makes us look like grasping conspiracy theorists... hlthe2b Jul 2024 #6
Its an attempt to steal his narrative/expose a lie. Not worth spending too much time on BootinUp Jul 2024 #10

Yes, of course I am saying how it would be distorted. REALLY, BootinUP? hlthe2b Jul 2024 #22
Concern/Offense how about less of all that. I am going to work and not thinking about BootinUp Jul 2024 #24
