But she threw out all the arts and crafts. Now she'll be walking in with a keyboard.

Add James Frain to that list.

But they already have an abbreviated name. It's "DD".

Or the alien ant-like creatures from Brain Dead.

Yeah, but that place around the corner is a real dump. Just like the White House, according to Trump.

Yup, and then the GOP learned that lesson and decided, "Fuck it, let's obstruct everything. The voters are too stupid to notice why shit's not getting done."

I saw a comment in the past day about how "Dems will be in power for the next 20 years now that people see what a disaster the GOP is with Trump."
