Can you _prove_ Biden’s a Catholic? Maybe Obama converted him to Islam! /s Out of curiosity, how are Trump’s numbers with Catholics? Can this really appeal to them?

HAARP America’s Democrat’s super weapon. From Turkish earthquakes to Iowa weather keeping Don the Con’s supporters home. Now with extra added flair capable of crumbling stages and speakers.

Alas, Dark Brandon’s plan to topple the stage with Orangeanus on it was thwarted by Daylight Savings Time.

Seven House Pubs filed a bill to rename Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport.

As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity, and strength than hearing, ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.”

Right.

Yeah, but Biden’s not a traditional Catholic since he believes everybody needs to get an abortion and smiles when any (unborn) baby dies. If he was traditional, he wouldn’t do that. Only traditional Catholics can be included in the group of all Catholics.

Not to credit the imbecile with too much, but could he be trying to provoke a buying frenzy, the way there’s always a run on assault rifles from the pro-child-murder faction every time a Democrat gets elected?

How the heck would your bank know if you’d bought a Bible in the first place?

I’ll bet the US experienced more closed airports during Trump’s presidency than all other airport closures, all the way back to the Revolutionary War, combined. But sure, lets name one after him.

If it were up to me, I’d rename Ann Arbor Municipal – the large airport nearest Hell.
