"WE" certainly do, LtL, and about 80% of the time "WE" say "NO WAY!!!" Just this past LANDSLIDE, EARTHQUAKE POTUS ELECTION (R), God, Jose, Leroy, Shania, Mary, John and Wong said it ALL TOGETHER: "NO WAY!!!" I guess the other 20% are useful-idiot "loons." Not to worry, America, their power is gone, gone, gone. What IS that "crushing" {7th floor WH (D)}. Hummmmmmmmmmm. GOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT "45" DONALD J. {BORN AGAIN} TRUMP (R)!!!
