LeonianUniverse😁<p>Honestly, we need more people in office like Senator Cory <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/booker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booker</span></a>, I honestly consider him to be a national hero because he dismantled Trumps' lies and did it with such an eligant nature even for the 25 hours that he did it. Absolutely wild and he deserves to be respected for sure. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>
