"DEVOUR FECULENCE," Chuck.
Do not negotiate with liars and terrorists and facists. Do not obey in advance. Do not appease.
DEVOUR FECULENCE
"I’ve got two words for Chuck Schumer and the words are from Severance and they are devour feculence. That’s it. That’s what I want them to do. The Dems in the leadership positions are not up for the fight. We know this now; it’s clear." GREG OLEAR
