What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?
So, It’s Trump
Well, didn’t see that coming. Like a lot of people, I simply underestimated Trump, and it looks like that was a mistake. But honestly, people. You’d think you woke up to hell on earth or something. Let me clue you in – this ‘how could this happen’ feeling? Yeah, it is how conservatives felt in […]
