Hence, the face masks and mail in ballots initiatives until November to allow them to cheat.
Crandall Bowles, a most unfortunate name.
“Matlock’s on the TV!”
I can NOT do better than that! Best line of the day!
Democrat voters wish for the government to take care of them, and vote accordingly. It is in that spirit that I sincerely wish for each and every Democrat voter to go broke.
It doesn’t matter. They’re still in control of everything even when they lose.
a fool and his money are soon parted
Bull. The media runs hours long free commercials for the Demon Rats.
I don’t get this. the ANTIFAGS are not any more unemployed now than they usually are.
