Hey? That’s my HS yearbook photo.
Maybe they’re not as concerned with doing what’s right as they are about the opinions of the elites in their peer groups.
Oh yeah.. I want Killer Mike’s endorsement,, for sure,, Al’s ? huh?
AL looking for the VP slot.
just for the record, has a vice president ever been assassinated?
Hitlery will not be happy to hear this.
Lot of blacks in SC.
We’ll get a good indication there.
