It’s Done — Trump Won

November 12, 2024November 12, 2024 Buck Banks

Millions of votes were cast without thought or introspection.
Despite the Dem’s campaign spending,
It looks like democracy’s ending,
Because rapist, felon, grifter Donald Trump has won re-election.

    — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), 10 years ago today.
