That ridiculous woman is the perfect example of what my poem is referring to-she belongs in one of those country club psych hotels the rich and famous go to...
Oh, Shelia Jackson Lee (D-Mars)
Hard to believe she was correct using the word - someone on line said maybe she meant “Marstial Law” since she thinks we planted our flag on mars” lol
My faves are “marital” law which means the wife is always right and “Marshall” law which orders everyone to shop at Marshall’s.
A+++
Outstanding!!
LMAO! I think Silly Jackson Lee shops at Omar’s-not Marshall’s...
Thank you!
haha
Update, on the Biker Beat Down story.
New piece of helmet cam video...they had riders stationed at entrances far up the west side hiway. They showed a new piece, filmed AFTER he panicked and ran the guy over...
As he is fleeing up the West Side Hiway, they pass more of the gang, shutting down another entrance.
Thats why they were screwing with them, he drove onto the hiway, when they tried to stop him.
Andrea Tantaros, on the 5 said she saw these same guys doing it at Chelsea Piers, down by The Battery. He was assaulted well north at 178th street.
