FBHO the dictator.
Sure won’t!
Easy come, easy go...

Easy come, easy go...
This is so elementary...
Best. Election. EVER!
Piss off, Zero—You have no power here.

Watching Barky get cut down to size is a joy for me.
Did you see yesterday where he’s now rated at the 48th most powerful world leader.
Ha ha ha...
Trump was ranked 2nd, and I think that’s rather humorous.
Putin number one? LOL
Well, too bad for you, Obama & Richards - Trump also has a pen and a phone and can undo every damn evil thought you put on paper!
Just declare your state a sanctuary state from abortions and ignore all EOs and laws...
All for naught. As Trump will reverse everything with extreme prejudice.
it will only be in effect two days. no big whup.
11th hour !
Can’t wait until 12:01am.
Please, President Trump reverse this.
all of the dictator’s power grabs can be un-grabbed
in just 34 more
days
so they are little more than political BS
We plead the 10th barky
