“There is not a single Somali that isn’t a fking crook.”

Isn’t that a bit harsh? A bit of a broad brush? The 90% that CROOKS are giving the 10% a bad name.

You’re only quoting 110% because you are using ballot counts.

I just asked AI what percentage of Somalis are crooks.

It said: 1,000 percent. ;-)
