This article is simply begging for a "Bee" or "Onion" treatment.

One would have to only slightly turn up the "crazy" to achieve the desired effect.

This is the 2024 Democratic party in a nutshell, distiguished by an entire female population with mental health disorders. She has PTSD after sitting next to normal people at dinner.

That’s the first time that twit has ever had an oar in her hands. Watch as she rolls it flat and attempts to paddle.

Kudos to you for remembering Michelle Kosinski. (Post 38)

That filthy liar got caught on national television lying about the depth of flood waters. Why would anyone believe what she says?
