Whatever.

She raised a traitor.

who the hell knows what she said behind closed doors to create such a monster.

I don’t expect us to become monsters like dems.

But our side is naively kind and generous in their wishes for people that very likely aren’t what they seem.

The norm is to act on the things your parents taught you.

Why is this the exception?

I LOVED her. Couldn’t say the same about the Maverick son. Not even close.

Um, I think the cause of death is being 108 years old. This is so stupid when they wonder about the cause of death of someone that old.

Oh, and her family cares, I’m sure, but I don’t at all.
