#7 ithas lost any right to continue representing its people after the crimes it had managed to "accomplish" in every field: financial, social and political.

They could be talking about America's political class. Consider the mendacity incompetence corruption and rank criminality of
.. the Bidens
.. Cuomo
.. Hillary
.. Comey, Brennan, McCabe, Strzok
.. Schiff and Pelosi
.. the "Squad"
.. Newsom, Whitmer, Lightfoot, the Soros DAs

Poster #1 above is right. We need to be rescued from our own bastards who are destroying this country
