Any takers?
Boy am I pissed.
Yes I am mad also... Treason is what all this is. Nothing less!
As each day passes this photo is getting to be more real isn’t it?
To refresh our memory about this pack of bastards:
Thank you for that pdf...... I glanced thru it.... It just makes me wonder what the hell he thinks he is doing?
