I have no doubts about the mental unfitness of the stupidest person to ever step foot in the White House and the whore in second place.

Wow. Arguing that this liberal wishlist will actually benefit the economy is quite a sell. These people are accomplished liars so, with the aid of the media, I’m sure it will be most impressive for the vast stone cold stupid portion of the electorate who voted for this addled old man.

"PR Blitz" = Lies that even Liberals don't believe.

It’s welfare, Jim.

Pop out another intergenerational welfare baby and the pay for it goes up from $2,000 to $3,600 per year.

I kid you not.

Pure permanent cash flow to the plantation dwellers.
