The media continues to cover for Obama, as if there is some unknown filial relationship between them and their “favorite son.”
I love that song Dirty Water....
Dude, you missed my post upthread. ;)
Your dad did a really good job.
A rhythmic rhyme in thyme awaiting a fine filial for the end of the new antenna!
I’m back-
I don’t hear responsibility
Mentioned in the opinions
Offered up about Ferguson
By Obama and all his minions
If parents are being victims
And teach their kids the same
Why is anyone a bit surprised
When crime is a filial game?
With such a rotten example
Obama’s daughters might hand
Him a nasty scandal any day-
I doubt he’ll take a stand...
Nicer, but I think a finial is on the end of an antenna...
The one that says Boston, you’re my home?
I saw that today. Of course the Sharptons and the Holders will just deem that to be reparations from guilty whites.
No, you fooled me. I thought your link was to Prager.
Yes.
