We wants safety

‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 10:05 AM - 23 June 2018 It’s very sad that Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, want to protect illegal immigrants far more than the citizens of our country. The United States cannot stand for this. We wants safety and security at our borders! 25,932 replies25,416 retweets96,676 likes

Strange days. "Not since Washington has America had such a great and important president. Look on his work, ye whiners, and despair." That's a comment just in from a React Alert troll, serious shekel wielder, Wall St player, anon googtroll acct, ziomurican hasbara div.

Dude, we're not whining here. We're critical though. Oh and yes, we can agree on one thing. Amb David Friedman is a great patriot and every settler's friend!

Bermuda shorts stars n stripes ball cap senior guy in line at ice cream shop on Solano, will you die if exposed to it, as we were always taught about radiation after the blast?

Or is this perhaps what being born feels like, though we will remember nothing of what came before, except for a single word, and never be able to say it, and the look on your face, as you quickly turn away, and I shuffle past, tells me I ought to speak for myself?
