        He's too busy speechifying. Once he gets to the big house, he'll figure all this policy crap out -- nm - decline Mar 30, 12:10
    - You can argue ideological consistency all you want, it's still a barbaric idea. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 11:58
Oh, good. Hail. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 30, 11:49 7
