Foolish me I thought that was about the Dumocrap Party convention.
Which mean they are going to get together and “Talk Sh!T”!
Democrats and liberals only. Need all the manure you can muster.
Is this to be held in Washington DC on the grounds of the Capitol?
DNC convention is early?
0zero has been holding a manure festival since Jan. 09.
I hope someone sculpts a bust of Obama and/or Hildabeast out of a pile of manure. It would be fitting.
I thought the DNC Convention only takes place in election years (2016 for the next one)?
Should be held on election day.
Politicians never attend this event.People keep trying to load them in the equipment for some reason.
The Great Shenandoah Sh*t Show! Don’t miss it!
