Sarandon Prefers Trump's Wall to Clinton's 'Moral Judgment'

I'm just saying, the way Donald Trump talked about the Woman Card that Hillary Clinton is using to get a free ride into the White House, I figured it would at least get me a few modest perks.

The app also insists that you leave it running at night so the alarm can function properly. (more...)
