One of my faves. The only way I can stand the news. We'll miss you, Alyssa <3
Erin Ryan basically has a trademark on calling people a sex pest yet she chose to ignore the allegations against Graham Platner. She showed what she is, like other Crooked employees she would do anything just to win. That’s how you end up with someone like Trump.
Thank you for making me laugh when there’s not much of late to be happy about.
Keep up your excellent work in helping this old lady keep laughing.
Love to all old ladies just getting by, like me.✌🏽🥂
