I’m sure they were wonderful people, to raise up a gem of a son like Mooseshell Obonga.

What can I say about someone I thought had already died?
Well, she kept a low profile and knew how to stay out of the news cycle!

Probably didn't want to answer any awkward questions about her sons.

That’s too bad.

Only one thing worse than losing Mom.

Rest in Peace

I despise the 0bamas, but condolences to them. I wish them comfort in their time of grief.

There are few people I loathe more than Moosh, but those who celebrate the grief of an enemy are amongst them.

Same. They are among my least favorite people in the world, but I will offer up a prayer for their comfort and strength during this loss.

May Marian Robinson rest in peace.

Of course they kept her close during the dager years of Øbowel’s regime.

Did not want to do the Fuddy or Hussien grandmother treatment of her.
