Er, why, yes. How did you guess that I worked for GPS Fusion???
remember when the criminal liberal media went after obama over his corrupt solyndra deal??? neither do i...
Geez another fake news bs story on this not even fake news.
Free Republic is becoming a dumping ground for bs stories like this.
I sure don’t go for that decor. But to each his own.
How many Solyndra deals add up to the 900+ billion dollar stimulus, reallotted eight times each year due to no line-by-line budget being passed? Where did all that money go? Lots of swamp cronies must have gotten some.
Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS, at it again !
I don’t even buy Russian Dressing anymore.
The New York Times could save a ton of money on paper and ink if they just hired you.
