Great satire of modern-day parenting bereft of rationality.
were you intending to include a link? ; )
Donald Trump is bereft of a kind spirit. He calls Carly "robotic". Trump's ramblings....hardly robotic, but not very kind.
Sorry I am late.
Were you planning to use today’s word?
So PopeFrank sought out a meeting with Fidel Castro. Why? What is the matter with this man. I don’t hear him standing up for the oppressed Catholics living there. No, he saves that for U.S. I am not going to survive this visit of his without going to confession.
she will NEVER watch that video, won’t even have a minion watch.
Stupid fingers typed what I was thinking not what I wanted. Late and screwed up, My head is hung in shame.
Hillary Clinton and the Minions of Planned Aborotionhood are completely lacking in bereft of morals, integrity, or even a modicum of a sense of decency.
That happened yesterday as the Pope met with Rauel and Fidel. I heard it on the news this AM. The news bunny was trying to put a good face on it by saying, “Well, at least, it got reported, so the people know what happened.” “Well, yes, answered her counterpart, but it got reported by the State-run newspaper from the point of view of the state.”
The Pope then left Havana and went to an appearance in the countryside. I think he should have cancelled further appearances in that God-forsaken Hell-hole and flew directly to the US, arriving early.
But, we don’t know if he knew at that time.
I think I heard it on Fox.
You’re right. (Sorry, Monday mornings are a drag!)

Thank God! I went back and read your initial post and saw you said Satire, bc it was entirely believable! A+++
Ping to 30, apologies for not using the word.
Dear God in Haaven. PopeFrank has morphed into Hanoi Jane.
perfect! A++++
A+++ He allows himself to be used, like a hapless stooge, by these leaders. Castro using him as bait for the dissidents. Obama using him as a prop for leftwing Catholics, transgendered Catholics etc.
A+++ missed your post also, yes, it’s fallish that’s for sure.
A most excellent sermon there.
