So yes, people care about the federal government taking action. You’d be crazy to NOT care.
The Federal Government is a joke reflected by the political hacks, like the SHE, who only care about one thing. Making millions like Pelosi, getting re-elected and making laws to making this the Greatest most corrupt country in the World. Like, hey Hunter Biden! https://vimeo.com/736911784
