I know I’m a teen, but isn’t Tom Scott (Senator from SC) a black and Susan Collins (Senator from Maine) a women? If I’m mistaken, I’ll get a eye exam...
That is Moochie in my mind’s eye after years of living off the lotto winnings purloined from the pockets of American taxpayers.
Does anyone recall the First Sasquach ever lamenting the 'all black, all angry' Congressional Black Caucus??
