lousy drug fiends that they are.

We've reentered a new era of insanity. And we have two choices: Life in prison, or fighting the insanity.

I believe that America just walked off a cliff and fighting the insanity will not end well. Then again, life in prison doesn't end well.

So what do we do? Suggestions?

Makes Trump look downright sane. He is a vile man that would have been overthrown almost immediately if not for the fact that some of our most important Asian military bases are located in the Philippines.

I'd love to see what comes up. He's already told us how to deal with him.

Then we can get that GOP congressman Trey Radel who got busted buying cocaine. It's Trump's will.

And I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance on them. Ezekiel 25:17

They wanted to scare people away from bootleg booze. They killed over 10,000 people.
