An acapella duet called "Build A Ballroom" 👀 sung by Ken Sandberg & A Gift From Todd

An extraordinarily creative way to say that Trump is building a 350 million bunker funded by his elite tech friends for when shit hits the fan.

Rep Al Green from Texas is reintroducing articles of Impeachment against the criminal Donald Trump.

Green tried earlier this year but all other reps were too chickenshit to back him. Support him this time. Call your reps & tell them to join him. #3E #EndImpunity
