[FDRsGhost]

George Takei broke this on twitter last evening & in a phone interview. I think its safe to say that Nunes is history. Go George!

1. I hope this is true, but remember... it's April Fools Day!

Do it, George!

[FDRsGhost]

2. It's very true.

He tweeted it himself and I don't see him fooling around about this considering he bought property in Nunes district so he could run, He has a long history of activism

We no longer can laugh at anything unless it slams dump or the rethugs.

Everything has to be serious because it is.

Just another reason America, this clown must go.

We no longer laugh at clowns, especially the insane ones.

Good one George! It's a weekend and I switch to politics light.

April Fools! No I don't!
