56. Russia hell, we have a petty vindictive divisive PINO

Wed Nov 22, 2017, 01:12 AM

Nov 2017

Who is hateful at every turn backed by oligarchs who are so self centered and greedy, lacking empathy for other humans so each day is feeling a sense of impending doom. They provoke hatred and anger so few are happy or optimistic as this PINO promotes war and antagonizes or aggravates just for fun. It's pathetic and he and his ilk are the cause.. Before Reagan and his era of greed anad selfishness America was a community of caring people. Ask yourself how you felt when Obama was president even though republicans blocked all he tried to do, enthusiasm was still in the air. This administration wants to bring ruin to everything good in America so we are born bought and sold
