Sound Off for December 12, 2016

Plain folks

Long wait

Finally after almost 8 years we have a president we can be proud of.

Secretary Scrooge

Mnuchin’s foreclosures, described by a federal judge as “harsh, repugnant, shocking, and repulsive,” included a foreclosure on an elderly woman for 27 cents.
