From first hand observations.

Venezuela is a a high crime cesspool where little works and is getting poorer by the day. Socialism has destroyed the country.

Any doubt we'd lose a football team if, say, Rush Limbaugh owned it, and the quarterback made an offhand statement to the press about having had more of a background check to get access to the locker room than Barry did to get access to the White House?

To be fair, it was high crime by any standard since forever, last four decades anyway.

Probably worse now though.

I wonder which side of this issue Hillary and Obama will be on? Maybe they will commit to withdrawing support for Columbia in order to avoid the killing of any more Columbian soccer players.

Communist solidarity.

I wish I was kidding, or indulging in hyperbole.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
