Paid for by the committee of people who like Donald Trump and who hate commies who don’t like Donald Trump.
Hahahahaha that’s a good one!
Thanks!
And it is about time!

Not Rush; he is deaf as a post.(*) Maybe his brother David? Malkin? Wilkow? Steyn? Napolitano?
(*) Yeah, coclear implants, but he wouldn’t function well in that environment and has said so.
