(24,720 posts)I think it is time to take to the streets and walk in there and throw them out. Since this feckless republican fascist congress will not do anything, maybe it is our turn.
Why, may you ask, did you or I get a dime out of this "business" I have not received any dividends for this usage, in fact not one red cent, has it helped with insurance costs, or how about feeding and clothing some soldier getting ready to go "BACK" over to that sh*t hole called Afghanistan, while is f***ing sons do whatever there chicken asses do, sure as hell won't volunteer.
And has for Kathleen Clark, its not illegal, maybe she should go back and re-read the part of the Constitution that has the word emoulment in there, after all Kathleen he is still "getting paid" by foreign as**** dignitaries curing favor with a sexual predator.
