And if we don’t give any foreign aid to that person’s country we send them a bill for 150% of the full cost, along with a happy little note saying that they’d better not come begging to us if they have a natural disaster or any other need of our assistance.
How about the democrats spare bedrooms? You know, behind the wall of the democrat’s gated-community
Stalinists lie. Always
And the republicans and out in front on this, because they want to be reelected.
Journalist still at useless hype expected.
I caught some of the dems, they all got their talking points.
