  • So wrong to not apologize

    To try to entrap someone you already disparaged with homophobic rhetoric when he was already down because of the hurricane is disgusting. I hope they press charges.

  • Maven is a Fool

    Maven is a political moron. Illegal aliens are criminals not citizens. Perhaps she should house a few members of Tren de Aragua or some of the other thousands of murderers and rapists that she has so much compassion for. Get your facts straight!

  • Maven is a Fool

    “In a decisive win for President Trump, the hoax Manhattan case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned.” In other words President Trump is not a felon according to NY State law that states unless you are sentenced you are not guilty of a felony. Take that Maven. I guess you believe in the philosophy of “guilty until proven innocent.” Maven, you and your radical Marxist support of the onion-brained Kamala Harris can go pound sand.
