He truly is nothing but a 14 year old in a man’s body. Possibly he is developmentally disabled with IQ of 70. O must be retarded himself since he calls everyone else retarded.
Yes, and if Bammy wants to remove cause for impeaching himself, he will fire Holder and Napolitano, and return KSM and co-conspirators to a military tribunal.
Stedman and some other guy.
