I hope FR doesn’t start restricting speech here. If we adopt the ways of the new nazi’s we will be as bad as the nazi’s.

If is possible to stand it, the longer the crone keeps this up the more deranged she will become.

I suppose one has to explain why there is an audience for CNBC. I guess it makes sense then that there are people stupid enough to buy Hillary’s book.
