It’s literally all in their minds. It’s really twisted. The Trump Boogeyman just doesn’t exist. These clowns are mental.

Here’s what they came and told us in grade school in the 1970s.
By 1980, Women would no longer be able to breastfeed because their milk would be poison.
By 1980, there would be no oil left.
By 1980, the earth’s population would all have to live within 100 miles of the equator because pollution would cause global cooling.
Here’s what actually happened......
A lot of assholes got cushy jobs and a lot of money for saying that crap,
Aren’t they always saying there are too many folks?
Democrats are evil, lying scum.
I am witnessing mass delusion.
Yep. They certainly show a lack of commitment to the cause.
“..hard to fight off despair.”
Call 1 900 BO LuvsU. S3.99/min
Seppuku ...
OOPS. . .I forgot to include the MEDIA along with the democrats!
More evidence that Rats are insane.
Move.
NY Times blog article. They are useless.
The only silver lining to the Trump presidency ending in 2025 will be that all of these human barnacles will soon be out of work.
So say the NY SLIMES.
I don’t know about “democracy” but our Free Constitutional Republic is looking brighter.
That Trump looks very much like a Progressive, Leftist.
And lose.
