Imagine if …

Imagine if 119 people including 27 children were killed in a flash flood during the Biden administration. Imagine the vitriol Trump would spew about incompetence and the blame he would assign to the National Weather Service.

Imagine if Hunter Biden controlled a collection of companies for his father, currying favor with foreign dignitaries and amassing billions of dollars in foreign government wealth funds, cryptocurrency, Mediterranean island retreats, meme coins, bibles … and Trump talks about the “Biden Crime family”?

Imagine if senior U.S. officials including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, National Security Adviser, Secretary of State, Director of National Intelligence, Director of the CIA, among others, shared sensitive military operations including the precise time and method for intended targets in Yemen on an unsecure Signal chat during Biden’s presidency. Trump would call for them all to be put in jail, yet for his cronies, “it was no big deal.”

Imagine if the Democrats passed a massive spending bill ballooning the U.S. debt by $3.4 trillion by 2034. Or if Biden accepted a $400 million airplane from Qatar, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Imagine if Joe Biden nurtured a conspiracy theory that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in jail and the Republican “elites” including a former Republican president and his wife were covering up a child sex trafficking ring. Then after promising transparency, Biden reverses course stating “there was no client list” (although his Attorney General had emphatically and gleefully stated there was) and “no more information would be forthcoming.” This, after his name was found in Epstein documents. Trump would be calling Biden a pedophile and screaming for complete transparency and a Congressional Hearing.

“Drain the swamp”? This administration’s swamp is mired in incompetence, mendacity, and hypocrisy. This is NOT what America wants. This swamp needs to drained — now.
