So, if you have $500,000, you can buy a green card from Hilary’s brother and Terry McAuliffe. What a scam.
You will be “investing” in his phony electric car company, which will be producing 1 million cars per year 5 years from now.
I read this article yesterday and it was the first time I really saw any details about this McAuliffe thing.
The same Rodham brothers who had were in that seedy PA lake scandal.......I still laugh about that.
Just saw in the local news that a bobcat terrorized a neighborhood and attacked a man. He needed stitches. The DEC supposedly trapped it and killed it. Rabies is feared. This is near me.
I like the idea that, with no existing factory or dealers, they are going to be selling 1 million cars.
For 2012, the combined Hyundai/Kia group sold about 1.2 million cars in the US, Nissan just under that. Those companies have been in the US for decades. They are going to match that from scratch?
With a 2 seat electric car that goes 35 mph?
the Rodham brothers are brazen scam artists....not quite as classy as billyjeff, but they do try.
Your puppy is too cute!
The emperor’s love of revanchism
Means that he cracks the whip
On the backs of all his minions
When they let his narrative slip
Carney must be flogged each day
After his ordeal with the press
For every stutter and blank look
He allowed reporters to address
Does he think of Hillary talking
About phone calls late at night?
Saying he’s an incompetent wuss-
And it turned out she was right...
Oh, thanks. We love her.
A+++ Hillary was right, and she will probably be our next prez. Can you imagine Hillary v Jeb? I shudder.
The word sounds the way some sinister, foreign bad guy would pronounce it:
“Revanch iss a dishhh best serrved cold…”
The word is of French origin, and the second definition arose from the more or less semi-official French foreign policy from 1871 to 1914. The policy was meant to reverse the result of the disastrous Franco-Prussian War and recover the lost provinces of Alsace-Lorraine.
Thank you!
Pets are the best for a smile every day...
No, I won’t imagine that-I don’t want either one of them, and Jeb Bush doesn’t need to even get nominated-I’m more than willing to work to see someone who is not a rino get nominated and elected. Let’s see a candidate who doesn’t promise any bread and circuses at all, and who slaps down IRS, snooping and control totally-and makes every adult responsible for their own lives and behavior.
This is not a monarchy, and we do not need any more political dynasties or “royal” families-leave that to Britain.
Guess what? The Steelers report to camp tonight, but the Pirates are still relevant.
All of a sudden sports editors have to really think about what to put on the front page.
A history buff. How interesting.
A++ LOL
very sweet!!
You bet.
currently waiting for the Sears repairman for my dishwasher. He just called to say he is on the way. He asked if we have a dog. i said yes, we have two. he said the company policy has changed, could you please make sure they are SECURELY LOCKED IN ANOTHER ROOM before i arrive. ten to one the guy’s an arab. having the dogs leashed i can understand. LOCKED IN ANOTHER ROOM sounds ridic to me.
