    He died, but how are the ladybugs doing? Have they been saved? They should clip them off and Steven Miller can chew on them for power when there aren’t any minority children to suffer.

    What I love most about Graham dying is Trump is already feeling the cold breath of death on the back of his neck. With the Mitch the Turtle retreating into his shell, and now a younger Graham dropping dead, Trump will definitely be feeling his days are numbered.

        I’m under the impression the USA is pretty much fucked. But there is a chance the winds might change on this alone.

        Of course the people need to want change as well. I think the apathy is too high for that to happen.
