years. And I thought well that's something we need to fix. You don't want any discrimination in Department of Justice. But I wasn't completely aware that the entire enterprise is corrupt and it appears it is. So I would say the media, the Department of Justice, and the Democrats are one big ball of corruption kind of collectively working with each other. Here's a funny thing. MSNBC had a little t…

January 6 that if you don't have enough security and you know for sure a gigantic group of angry people are coming your way? No we didn't learn anything from it. There's nothing useful about knowing the details of January 6. I mean unless it helps you know how corrupt the system is I suppose. But yeah you can just delete that from your memory banks.

You know from 11 years old if…
