It’s bad luck just seeing something like that... :(
WHO is that on the right with those claws?
They look very happy.....NOT!
Nobody cares
If votes don't matter, neither do politicians.
This has been going on for years. The entire Democratic machine is nothing but money laundering.
Democrat corruption? You can always count on it.
The rotten, ugly apple don’t fall far from the tree.

That’s for sure! Plus!
Ya wonder...what happened along the way in their gene pool.
She’s been charged, so to speak, and always gets off equally as much.

She does whatever she wants.
The Republicans could point this out, but they won’t.

She’s just getting the scraps. If she were white she’d be looting much larger sums. Look at Hunter.
