“You’ll impress me when you turn off the lights at the capital building.” And, congress will stunningly impress me when the US House of Representatives files “articles of impeachment” against this piece of $hit, and the US Senate will completely leave me speechless if they actually voted to “impeach” this communist, Fabian socialist, Leninist marxist pile of dog $hit!!!!
