I Don't have a problem with it. I'm not a Carly supporter. Just drop the whine.
Look at that lower lip. Photoshop? Wad of chew? Fat injections?

Whine is your interpretation. I can’t drop what I never did.
What also gets me is that she wouldn’t meet with Putin. (And this was said a few days ago BTW.) Great step forward to start a second Cold War.
