  • Finally! Thank you!

    My dad used to say, “Be careful what you ask for.” I have been saying for a long time that Vance is far more dangerous than Trump. He is a calculating, cunning, vicious, and totally immoral person. Plus he is young. Trump is amoral, insane, and evil, and having issues of dementia. Thanks for saying what should be but maybe isn’t, pretty obvious truths concerning Vance.
