Shocking the Trumps didn’t stop off for a doobie at BM on the way back to D.C. yesterday. /s
The msm was all over Melania’s shoes but not a peep about those buffoons’ attire or lack of it.

Be nice to them because one day the naked high drunk party-goers will be members of Congress.
While Oregon burns because of environmental idiots
Virgins at BM? Srsly?
Least expensive tks are about $380 and they sell out in a heartbeat. They go WAY up from there.
...one day the naked high drunk party-goers will be members of Congress...
Look again. They already are.
Be nice to them because one day the naked high drunk party-goers will be members of Congress.
70,000 Bay Area white people. Not too much ethnic diversity at Burning Man.
Our Very Special BLM Agent-in-Charge Dan Love will probably be found outside the gate scalping tickets.
You and I both know your comment should have more to do with hair than tickets.
Senator Blutarski?
Yeah, you had to bring up hair Anti native American....;-)
