They got their gold, they don’t give a crap about us when it all tanks
His "negotiation" style is to play "chicken" with 500 billion that was going for our critical defense spending.

In fact, it might be torture.
I'm not sure what the Merlot's all about. but Boener should bring along ham sandwiches.
That socialist bastard with an R behind his name has got to go!!!!
BREAKING NEWS:

He is a drunk and a dope.
Doesn’t surprise me that the punk is addicted to narcotics
