I expect a full report on July 31’s “debate” as I am unable to watch Cory Booker for a moment without losing all faith in humanity.
what a cast of characters…last time some of these spoke, they had nothing of value to say. I’ve got much better things to do, like picking farts out of beans.
Faux Espanol anyone?
If I don’t have anything better to do than watch these I will go to bed. The objective seems to be to breakout by coming up with outlandish proposals: reparations, cancelling student debt, open borders and revocation of citizenship for Trump supporters (okay, I mad that one up).
