Heckuva job

Boss Man’s all over this one. He’s on the phone, holding the red “Classified” folder, not shooting finger-pistols at the photographer. Awesome Presidenting.
You can’t say he doesn’t learn from his mistakes. Destroy one of my cities with a hurricane while I throw a party for John McCain once, shame on you. Destroy one of my [...]
