“Can you dig it?”
Dumba** alert.
Politics as they say is Hollywood for ugly people. The dims however are way ahead of the pubs on that scale.
I’m convinced that these dem pols are on the payroll of these gangs.
What is it — this bellowing creature?

I agree! Make it Boston, and arrest Mayor Wu and Gov Healey. And, while you're at it, get the fake indian.
