Jr. is doing "his" job.

It's cleaning up shit mountain which is straining from the weight, but it is a "job".

I'd love to see an unedited/unabridged recording of that event, all hot mics included!

hosted by Bill Butler, a large contractor as well as a supporter of Governor Bevin of KY.
Ms. Guilfoyle was not mentioned in the article on Cincinnati.com, though I suppose she'll be part of the entourage.

(Can't imagine how she can stand to be constantly in the company of Donald Jr., but to each her own. Remember, she was previously married to Governor Newsom of California.)

As for Donald, Jr., I wouldn't cross the street the see him.

We KY Dems are looking to hit the trifecta. Get rid of Bevin in Nov 2019, and then say bye-bye to the Orange Shitgibbon and Moscow Mitch in Nov 2020.
