I saw what you did there... 😉
Butt-Egg.
🤣

What’s wrong with Indiana ???
No chance ???
This family of Michiganders doesn’t to be adopted by this idiot! Just because we have a lot of potholes, doesn’t mean we need you here to fill ‘em up!
Dork... 🙄
I hope he is able to campaign between his chest feeding and Mother’s Day celebrations.
He is best known in South Bend for all the potholes that were never filled while he was mayor..
Perhaps “carpet-fagger”?
The Devils Turd Pete... has ambitions.🙄
He see’s Schiff in the Senate and figures if that scum ball can get in, so can this one.
