GSA to Dems – No clear winner, no transition funds
Uriel, 'Nox & Friends - 11 hours ago
Western Journal’s article yesterday “GSA Says No Way to Biden Power Transfer” has merit and is based upon prior election history. The Democrats own history of the 2000 election especially.

Their understanding and statements are the only ones that are acceptable and true. NOT SO FAST DEMOCRATS. “Americans should be outraged at the liberties Joe Biden and his media cronies have taken following the still-contested results of the 2020 presidential el...
