Maybe one reporter will find two nickels and shadow the witch.
A couple of effing grifters the likes of which MTV’s Cribs has never seen.

Everything these mouth-breathers do has political implications.
In other words, a vacation.
Can’t even eat our peas, moooooochele ate all of those also. She didn’t buy them , grow them, shop for them, pick them, cook them or serve them she just ate them at the tax payers expense.
maybe she and the kids are fleeing the country
A) Shouldn't ALL her trips be non-political? She's not an elected official.
B) Oh. Well. If the White House says it.....then it must be a lie.
more like a come to Jesus meeting with our overlords, except they don’t believe in Jesus.
Think maybe she is planning to defect?
Gross!!!! What a pig. She wasn’t taught table manners.
