Why do you people always turn every knob to 11? God, my eyes are going to roll right out of my head.

Good LORD. It's your side that actually wants a bloody coup and WANTS us to be a socialist country. Keep your Venezuela. I'll take Kelly.

The left's talk of coups, impeachment, 25th Amend, racism, transphobia, patriarchy, etc. could serve as a preview of another defeat in 2018. https://t.co/rhK7MBuzHi
