Great article. Missed seeing before. Bondi told him he basically saved 75% of the population. Only an idiot would believe it. I rest my case. Nothing but nothing can fill the void. Thinking…players like Bill Maher go to feed “Audrey II.” More idiocy. It really is a not so little SHOP OF HORRORS.

Clearly there is a common thread. Sadly a surprise to me, I believe Obama was just too much for the percentage of white Americans who support this regime. While alarmingly large, I don’t believe most white Americans are in that category. If they would just get their heads out of their a— and vote!

I didn’t realize it was such a “thing” and you had to battle that. How does production benefit by spoiling the whole element of surprise? The costumes are major to the story and definitely should be kept under wraps. When I was constantly seeing Prada costumes I was surprised. The entitlement! Awful
