"So, it will be just fine here at home," Glucksmann said.'

Why not give her back? It's not like we are concerned about freedom and liberty in this country, or anywhere else, since the Lyin' King became every Trumper's Big Bad Daddy.

Easy way would be to offer Musk a Gov Contract to ship her back home where she's wanted... then it would happen.

It's too easy anymore... and it's not even as fun when the lunatic is on the grass.

And daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall

"I'm beginning to regret saving France in the world wars."
you now claiming to have participated in the Normandy invasion
What?? What I do know about the brave men who actually did though is that they would be disgusted by Americans kissing Potin's ass as Republicans are these days. I wonder if they have consciences? They throw hateful words around as if they fought the Nazis instead of now welcoming them into the GQP?!?
