  • Really!

    Meghan is a self absorbed brat. If not talking about her pregnancies, her father, she can’t help driving attention to poor her. The latest was the passing of Lindsay Graham. I don’t personally know either but Meghan was quick to disavow Graham after her father’s passing and maybe with good reasons. What I object to is her looking for sympathy with tears and faked regret for not mending fences.

    Guilt, sorrow and what ifs are on you now Meghan.

    You could have explained the difference between freedom 250 which is a Trump thing and America 250. There was a chunk of money allocated by Congress for America 250.. What happened to it? And why did they allow Trump to take over? he doesn’t care and probably thinks this is a “yawn.” Iykyk
