Not sure what’s coming out of the oven at this point!
Are you sure you don’t want Sect Sillybus back as your Governor? I, for one, would love to see her gone from HHS in DC.
She can’t go far enough away.
Anyone that thinks we are pure red need only bring that abortionist witch up as proof otherwise...
