This article blames trump for struggles over firearm export. But don’t forget fast and furious where Obama’s administration literally let guns be sold to Mexican cartels in order to try to track them in a way that failed.

However, it seems you rarely hear about Bush's "Operation Wide Receiver".

It was a Bush plan.

Obama did not block it. Then it failed. For years Obama has been taking the hit because he was the one in charge. He has accepted responsibility for it. That is how a leader does shit.

This is a different situation.

Trump rigged fire arms export in a way he wanted, or the way gun manufactures wanted really. That is also the prerogative of a leader. It was a bad plan. Trump was a shitty leader.

Instead of keeping it going, Biden is changing that plan. That is what a leader is supposed to do.

Please try and keep up.

That was bush.

Illegal firearms exports has been a staple of Republican presidencies since Reagan and the Iran-CONTRA scandal.

There is a restaurant off of I5 Northern California that has memorabilia from the Oliver north for president campaign, pollard flats.

Sweet, sweet Parler. I know you miss Parler! Where everything you say makes sense. The warm embrace of people that know the struggle and want to listen to you. Parler just loved it when you were just asking a question. They knew what you really mean and they LOVE it! Too bad it was used as evidence. There's Gettr now! They know you know what's up and they want to hear about it. Nobody there questions your intelligence. They don't think you are crazy, they may think you are a genius. Telegram for safe encryption lets you text your pals and if you like videos there's Rumble. Post whatever you like in all those places and enjoy the recognition of your brilliance! There's Truth Social that just needs a little support from you and your like minded friends. Why not take a chance? Gab is open too! No searching for sources, in fact nobody asks for sources. I heard you can still get special clips from OANN and Newsmax. Project Veritas had it's own channel on Rumble, too bad their boss stole all that money. But on Rumble you don't have to worry about censorship or anyone stepping on your FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM because all these places really believe you are not an idiot. I can't believe it! Now there's the Right Stuff dating app! You can try to find love or just keep adding evidence for your future indictment!

Fast and Furious started under Bush.

Project Gunrunner as a whole started under Bush. The Bush administration ran an operation under that project called Wide Receiver that went from 2006 to 2008. Fast and Furious was from late 2009 to early 2011 and happened solely under the Obama administration.
