Hey Mikey… you turned the lights off.

4. How many Republicans does it take to get the lights back on?

Zero. They need Democrats to do it for them.



Like everything else in the past x decades, Democrats are the only adults in the room and only ones capable of making decisions that benefit all. GOP a$$hats are a disgrace.

6. He's so cavalier about the President's "team's" use of social media...

Why doesn't someone use social media to characterize Mikey in ways he's clearly uncomfortable with? Like how about a shirtless Mikey holding hands with a hunky guy from the cover of a romance novel? How about Mikey in a spandex bathing suit tossing a beach ball with a teen lad in similar dress? Let's show him what cavalier is.

There are so many things in this video that disgust me I can't even speak.
