This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
