Great to hear limpdick is going to hang it up. His only claim to fame is enacting legislation forcing children to get a license before opening a lemonade stand.

(Run-on sentence & abuse of the word ‘which’ Achtung)

Dick’s DREAM act failed so Blowbama decreed DACA, then DAPA—parents, which would have pretty much gutted Title 8 US Code, but the SCOTUS decided ‘Uh, no. That would pretty much gut the statutes’ so the democrats called the DACAns “Dreamers” which sounds better than DACANs which makes them sound like, well, Aliens, which is what they are.
Good riddance to this democrat dung beetle.

You’re probably right, but I expected top Democrats to run for the Michigan US Senate seat too.
