This is Trump country

Just gettin’ skittles
On and on and on....

Well, he is a pinhead.
They were his fellow HOMOSEXUAL killers.
Li'l Matty Shepherd angered a drug dealer. It had nothing at all to do with Matty being a Nancy boy.
Although this article is twelve years old, the facts were known soon after the murder, but, in compliance with Rahm Emmanual's edict,
"Never let a good [or manufactured] crisis go to waste."
When you live a lie, pushing a lie is just what you have to do to face yourself.
