Well, that Murrican fella Trumpet is up the creek, sounds like. Not like our boy Carnival. Wasn’t looking forward to a bunch of election signs gumming up the snowplow all winter long.

This Is delicious. The BBC managed to write about Harry without mentioning Meghan in the article by name at all (except identifying her in the cutline). “…his wife, a former actress”. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The poor mook. It was his first assignment as an ICEPrick, and the shouting terrified him. He was peeing his drawers when he got sandwiched. He’ll never work again.

It looks as if the Trump regime is blaming “Democrats” for any and all the ills they themselves have deliberately inflicted upon the US proletariat. The next thing is to purge the population of people they identify as “Democrats” through the usual channels. The camps will be full.
