128. They'll have to kick us all off then. It's more than 3 years since J6 and trump has not been held to account yet.

Thanks, Garland.

And one more thing. Him not editing out that hit job crap from the Hur report as the height of passive aggressiveness. Garland just released that "well intentioned, elderly man with a poor memory who is not fit to serve" crap, which we'll all be hearing over and over and over again in negative repug ads angainst Biden during the campaign.
