Libs headlines tommorrow will be McCain is responsible for war, staged the attack for his campaign.
I don’t like McCain but your really reaching here for pootie boy.

Never forget this about reporters: They will never have any money; they hate anyone who has a lot of money or anyone who is likely to make a lot of money.
You might want to get that bimmer removed. It sounds painful and it is hard to wrap my mind around the visual image.
The Russian govt thanks you on the work you are doing this morning on their behalf.
Good question.
This is why folks go into politics. To become wealthier.
Hmm, it’s nearly a day since I’ve put some Putinista’s head on a stick. Just saying.
Don’t have any. Hate to see that common folks get hurt on both sides while politicians play games and lobbyists get paid.
Don’t care much for them either.
You're looking for a dictator styled government if you want a government where lobbyists don't get paid.
