He is weary, but somehow still manages to waste a lot of our money and let Hunter and 1500 other crooks walk free!
I would not blame poor Jill for smuggering some Secret Service agents to meet her needs.
I’m still hoping for a public urination to cap off his demented term in office. Will put the exclamation point on the stolen disaster.
Gross. Her face has more cracks than the Mona Lisa and she’s 500 years old.
What a pathetic bootlicking screed.
A crone that old has no “needs”
That train left years ago.
Jimmy Carter will probably outlive him.
His brain is cooked, cant form a simple sentence without the prompter
Darn. You beat me to it.
Can’t happen soon enough! Beat it, loser!
