Cheeeeeehuuuu!

Kim Coco was brilliant during the interview on the TV news last night, so poised while she shot a dagger to the corruption at his heart and it was glorious.

It’ll be interesting to see what all of Saiki’s little drones that he just got elected will do without him.

It is a brand new day Hawaiʻi.
