  1. When I read about this yesterday – and it all happened last year! – I had to double my blood pressure meds.

    Trump and his swamp friends — what a disgrace. trump has used that word DISGRACEFUL just in the last couple of days — someone please slam his fucking head into Carson’s fucking head and let them rot in each other’s pool of spilled brain cells.

    Isn’t there a rule that money over $5000 must have congressional approval — who approved this? Put this arrogant prick Carson on one of those bunk beds and no tv – in his prison cell.
