“I want to see every single Obama voter suffer the consequences of their lovefest”

They will. Problem is, they won’t be the only ones to suffer.

They all signed up for the “Ding! Fries are done!” jobs, but Burger King has a 49 employee limit.

Expect more large government ads, and official notices (we call that “gazetting” here). That’s a way for government to fund newspapers, without appearing to do so.

Great news!
I would like to see every person who works for the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms lose their jobs, their homes, and their families. For what they have done to the America I grew up in they deserve nothing less.
