She’s been heavily criticizing 0bunghole for months. In HI, no one wins unless they’re a Dem, btw.
He’s setting up some special forces guys for death. How are Russia and France going to know not to bomb them?
But our worthless Congress, administered by Republicans, will not do their duty.
Where are Republican leaders?
Ryan? McConnell? **Crickets**
He was quoted as using global warming and environmental damage as the reason why he didn’t bomb the Iraqi and Syrian oil fields.
You think he would really EVER push the button even if we were devastatingly attacked now if he is actually using that as one of his criteria?
Hell his family would be in a bunker and he would be on AF1, better America go down and everyone else have a better shot at making socialism work than if we strike back.
We need to insure Cruz or Trump is standing at the end to keep Hillary out...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Barry needs someone to surrender to.
I thought that was Reggie Love's job.
