Consider her family...
“SMRTest” “woman” in the world right there.
Yep.
It actually made her look older.
She looked like the great grandmother in the family photo.
If John Bolton was Sec of State and did that, everyone would know it was a middle finger to the other attendees. Since it is this clueless, drunken sod Hitlary, it is just another in a long line of buffoonish acts.
Reminds me of a big old booger on mom’s freshly ironed Thanksgiving Day table cloth.
I concur. So the point is that everybody has to be the same or you get ridiculed like in grade school?
My son calls any ugly shade of green Martha Stewart green. Perhaps that is what color it is?
