Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back?

A chill wind blew through the burned-out subdivision where once lived a shining community. Decent homes, decent people- long vanished. A lone coyote, picking for scraps, cocks its head to hear a far off whisper, "But...her emails..."
