How do they keep them out? They own it.

My guess is, they block the road.

Yep. I can’t say at this point i’m not maybe a VERY LITTLE BIT concerned.

But he has never shown courage before, he wants to get more rich, enjoy being worshiped and play golf.

He doesn’t want to die from a nuke or have his “legacy” ruined by war.

Reminds me of US citizens who took a 99 year lease on ocean front property in Baja forty years ago.

One day the Mexican police seized the property and all it’s furnishings, then expelled the US citizens. They left with just the clothes on their backs and wheels.

“As part of the move to punish Russia for its [ALLEGED] role...”

Has any evidence been presented by the Obama regime for this allegation of Russian mischief? I haven’t seen any yet!

Trump to Vlad via e-mail:

“We will have you back in there on the 21st of Jan 2017 Vlad.”

But the fact is that Brennan’s spooky Sunni Islam branch of the CIA is likely peppering the walls with spy devices.That will tick off the Russians.

Only 3 more weeks of para-constitutional acts to tolerate.

Of course, if we didn't have a dysfunctional Congress, the skinny little bastard wouldn't be able to get away with ordure like this.
