Prick Sir’s god is Beelzebub.
Is Pritzker even in Illinois?
He exposes them all for scoundrels, liars and hypocrites that they really are. For that alone we owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
He is equal opportunity in how he gets the scoundrels, liars and hypocrites expose their reality.
I realized his ability after he basically destroyed Jeb Bush with a few tweets. Low energy Jeb still hasn’t recovered!

Rioters/looters are not “protesters.”
No, God is not.
Those same protesters set fire to the church!

Not so fast, fat boy. I think that time will tell that Trump’s response resonated more with voters than any of this piffle being trafficked by Democratic Governors and Mayors.
