What drama she’s reveling in now!
Oh BS
Just more evidence that the nineteenth amendment should be repealed.
She cannot hide her loathing of whitey.
Big Mike was just rude, arrogant, classless, and his usual angry self. It’s all on tape.
Don’t make the Wookie mad...
Big boys don’t cry.

The staff probably couldn’t wait for him to get the eff out so they could fumigate the Obama stink out of the place.
🔝🔝🔝
Gotta be - keeps the charade going
Requesting quiet.
Did she pick up on the military closing ranks behind him?
Excellent. I don’t believe her, but excellent.
Right, that’s the kind of stable leader we want controlling the nuclear button in a crisis at 3 AM... but there are plenty of morons who would vote for her in 2024.
