the American way....when they covered every fucking one of his "rallies" even before he showed up, they talked him up endlessly, all while screeching emails/emails/emails and IGNORING anyone who said "WTF is up with all this RUSSIAN shit with Donnie Boy?"

Impeachment can't come soon enough--and then we'll have another problem--we'll have to cage that End-Timer Pence.

UGH. I'm too old for this shit.
