@Hillbilly
Don’t expect a answer from Jeffy,Jeffy is below the
‘stupid’ line.
Jeffie is better than he was. He just makes some posts that can have holes shot it them pretty easy some times because he has not broadened his sources yet. give him time and he will research more
He did not answer the post I shot down yesterday about the “Obama Regime”/FOX thing either but it is ok that is how we learn
Now Biden is below the stupid line!!!!!!! Obama had what kind experiance again?????????
