Remember when they tried to rehab thrown-in-the-Van Hillary?

They bumped into her on a vigorous Mountain hiking Trail.

After her servants and Huma said she couldn’t work the TV or the TV remote, and didn’t know how to do a Google Search.

Or perhaps a deformed human, it does happen

Or perhaps someone has been doing some genetic mutation, gene sicing, Frankenstein stuff, and dumped the body.

(cue the spooky music)

“Are you a cryptozoolobiologist?”

I am not qualified to answer that question.

Can I get a Supreme Court spot now?

That looks like a human that had a run-in with a Great White and lost a leg (among other things).
