The problem, as one might guess, is that motorcycles offer almost zero protection compared to armoured personnel carriers.

    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 07:05 AM

    The Drain the Swamp fabulist spoke at the wholly corrupt National Rifle Association's event on Saturday in Dallas, Texas, and went on to brag about doing absolutely "nothing" about gun violence.
