Looks like he’s got some gremlin in there too maybe? who’s a good dog cabbage 😘
You can criticize this appointment all you want but who among you has never set up your own brother-in-law with a hooker, recorded the interaction in a seedy hotel room and sent the video to your own sister in order to penalize her for taking your other brother's side in a business dispute?
This is just so amazing
Disbarred and jailed
But you pay your money and you take your ride in the Trump administration
This is what his MOM thinks of him:
But surely I read somewhere he’s exploring how to fix the media so democrats win?
Real normal employee stuff
My friend Sarah Wildman has an extraordinary ability to face the hardest truths and tease out meaning. I am so grateful for her. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/o...
Trump’s abortion bans are killing women.
She had two little boys. She needed a d&c. Instead, she died in the hospital.
