91. Secretary in charge of emptying the wastebaskets

Wed Oct 16, 2024, 06:57 PM

Oct 2024

NO to Republicans in the cabinet. They are utterly fucking worthless (unless they know how to empty the trash, which they probably don't).

I realize she is just pandering and that's okay, I guess. But I have no use for bipartisanshit.
