he needs to take along 2 more DemocRATS like Dictator Cuomo for the nursing home murders and deBozo for all the killings and looting in NYC
Leave silver alone he suffered enough
Very sad – look at the looters/ anarchists who get out on bail… here an elderly person broken and fallen from grace, shamed, depressed, financially ruined, in poor health and to put him in jail where arguably there is no victim!
A trump pardon is certainly in order. Yidden I implore you, Email the president esap to pardon the honorable silverman, the president will be ge’bentched mit arichas yoomin unn shonim.
How can that be done? Please post instructions.
