“This is the direction the Democratic Party needs to go.”

“I’m fucking pissed.”

Oh dear! Oh dear! #twitterdown

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.
