Okay. let’s get this finished so we can return to important things like DRAINING THE DAMNED SWAMP!
Well, the driving of the stake at the funeral is part of draining the swamp.
Tell the truth: You are likely watching his funeral live, just as most other political junkies.
Besides, it’s worth it just to watch Hillary’s repeatedly grimace between stone cold dead stares.
From a historical perspective, 41 could have been Dukakis and 43 could have been Bore.
Is W passing candy to Moochelle?
He actually pretended to do this when he shook her hand
Bill Clinton has got that lazy jaw where his mouth just hangs open. ..
I call it “catching flies”.
To be honest, I am not watching this funeral at all. Been looking at plans to build an outfeed/assembly table for my shop.
It's a fine piece of #Schadenfudge, though.
This poor man's demise -- wheelchair-bound for half a decade? Dole even longer?? count. me. out. -- utterly and completely derailed the MSM #Narrative about Cohen, about Mueller wrapping it up, about how it's beginning to dawn on the Dums they ain't getting nothing but coal in their stocking from Old Bobbins; and how about that Bruuuce calling #2020 for Trump! Way to go, you philandering ****-gargling stopped-clock shit-for-brains!
