They’ve finally done it. After three years of threats, investigations, and fake scandals, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has finally launched an “official” effort to impeach and remove President Donald J. Trump from office.

*** The difference between Barry's narcissism and Trump is: Trump looks at the most beautiful girl at the party and says, "I can get her number." Barry lookz at the same girl and say, "She wants me." Trump pursues the girl, Barry walks away, because obviously, she is not good enough for him, besides, someone told him there's a mirror in the next room.

Morons can take a cold shower... In early...

George Romney, marching with Martin Luther King.

Mary Landrieu said Sunday. Asked on "Fox News Sunday" why New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin failed to follow the city's evacuation plan and press the buses into service, Landrieu blamed Bush administration cuts in mass transit funding.
