Could be worse. They could spell “coming” with a “u” instead of an “o” to appeal to the likes of Joe Biden.
Coming of age? At 11? At that age they have barely mastered wiping their @ss! Another blown oportunity to link Obamas to child molesting.
Ted, you are one sick, pedo-porn pushing ba$tard.
I see. So the CEO will understand, as he is escorted into prison for his 40 year sentence, that he will be evolving as a person.
Same logic.
I’m waiting this this dork and his company have to
