Congratulations!! I listen on my drive to work don't even notice the traffic anymore.
Trump has no idea what he's doing. Putin has owned him every time they've met. Helsinki.
Trump is looking like Putin's fat puppet
I honestly feel like Brad is part of my family!! I miss him on weekends . I'm sad when he's on vacation. don't worry. I like Steven too!!!!
biblical flood.... get it right humans....
One of the most moving stories I have ever heard.
As usual, ABC reporting normalizing Trump administration's lies, illegal moves and taking Trump and his overtly corrupt officials' statements at face value, eating their lies, making assumptions that those bullshit statements reflect their motivations...then wasting a bunch of time reporting on such naive assumptions
Wow, no wonder he's Putin's puppet. He's such a low IQ person!

Once again, we're blaming individuals instead of Corporate America for pollution. Okay, yes, we each need to do our best, sure sure sure. I do go to the trouble of separating my trash and placing my recyclables in the corresponding bin. But until companies get it together and start thinking long-term, miss me with that shit.
