At least Iowa’s good ol watchdog Grassley has them scoundrels in his sights
Do you morons need a blankie? Poor boys are upset that our country voted out their cartel.
See who’s crying when they destroy our country
The cartel? They have done a pretty good job already destroying it. What else have they got in mind? Only has about 53 days left.
we just threw 4 years of progress away, now 4 years of hating our country as we knew it and trying to change it to be like other foreign country’s that have failed to follow. Americans have dumbed down and will pay the price
Americans are dumbed down intentionally by weak education system and distractions like sports, social media, drug addictions. They waste their lives blowing their most precious resource (TIME) on mind-numbing activities and habits instead of investing it in themselves.
