Help yourself. Plenty for everyone. :-)
‘Bringing the bouncer’ LOL
Every time I think about Connecticut, I can’t help but think of Gladys Taber. Have a few of her books.
Sorry your right,he fits right in there in Bridgeport,couldn’t compete with the real crooks in Bridgeport when he was going to build something down there in the South end
Go Trump, GO!!
LOL! It has that “I’ve got my eye on you” type of look.
I would rather see Ronald Reagan on the currency before Harriet Tubman.
Sosorry. Not in that state. I was commenting on the crossover appeal for the general election.
Great story and glad you spoke up.
Pretty amazing how the sentiment is just simmering under the surface everywhere you go.
Sweet! How nice it would be to see states like Connecticut and New Jersey be competitive for a change.
I work in a union shop, and of course “leadership” endorses Sanders. But I can tell you I get many, many thumbs up from coworkers when they see my Trump bumper sticker.
I'm sure you'll be hearing this a few times. Get her out. Send her home to mommy. Aren't these Trump rallys fun or what.
Never have figured out the point of protesting before the rally starts; would think doing it halfway through would get you more attention. But then, I’m not a professionally trained protester.
Well put, I would add that his sacrifices have been and will be extraordinary from a personal standpoint.
I had a snappy reply, but thought better of posting it.
She gets points taken away for a lack of creativity..........
