Please. I know you have my address from my website. I am married and do not swing that way..your notes though amusing to me are repulsive
Nice try squirrel, but it's your fixation, you are banging on about girly boys and wanking, thought no one would notice didn't you? What's the matter squirrel don't like someone following your example, do you squirrel?
Hey Fred remember when that list was like 300 plus items of indisputable offenses that were going to end Trumps presidency???
Getting down to the scraps aren't we :)
The only protection Trump has is a tendency among Americans to not prosecute criminal Presidents for their crimes no matter how bad they might be and some actually have committed war crimes and violations against the Constitution with impunity. So much for justice. So much for swearing to "defend the Constitution" when they should be swearing to obey the Constitution.
