She knew what was going to occur, and so did everybody else. It led to a primary ever COUP of the President of the United States, who’s now unhappily sunbathing on a Beach in California, watching the waves, and considering how a lot he hates Barack Hussein Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Lightweight Movie “Star” George Clooney, who failed to come back to Crooked Joe’s protection. The excellent news is that I imagine Joe Biden, the Worst President within the History of the United States, who served with the Worst Vice President within the History of the United States, is now seething. I don’t know why he gave up, I don’t know why he give up. He received 14 Million Votes, she received NONE. He’s an offended man now, and he must be!
