WASHINGTON, 7 NOVEMBER 2017*.

    This is very funny read, BR. Don’t know why you put it out there…maybe “Contrarian” thingy?

    But, it was fascinating and funny at the same time.

    I think many folks will be “blown over” by this post. Because it’s a bit of a shocker…and folks really don’t know how to react given the “political camps” sitting there shooting over the Bunker at each other waiting for the FULL BATTLE to be CALLED so they can kill each other off…

    However…it was very enjoyable read to this person….

    I’m from the Cleveland area so I have some familiarity with Dennis Kucinich.
    The Speaker of the House is Dennis Kucinich and now he is sworn in as the President! This is what we have to look forward to in seven years? PLEASE SAY IT AIN’T SO.

    Yep, those Bushies secretly allied with Bin Laden, Cheney finally succumbing to cardiac disease, and those maniacal raving Tea Partiers who only want to destroy the government — hilarious!
