Yep. Says he is “angry”
Hillary has all the charm and warmth of a pit viper, and it isn’t going to change. If I were to have a beer with her I’d be taking a taster along.
And everywhere ON her.
Good Lord man,Joe’s barely self-aware when sober.
Very predictable
Why would I waste my time reading rubenesque tripe, I predict without reading that she slimed Republicans.
