Tighten Your Nuts

The report blamed a private defense contracting company for the accident.

    Speaking of tightening your nuts… How about Donald Trump? Why isn’t he getting any attention on “Boots and Sabers”. I think he’s just what Republican conservatives need in there party… He’s white, old and rich. He has brought out the true base of the Republican Party… Fools. He’s pro Hillary, pro choice, pro Obama care, pro taxes and a load mouth blowhard. People wonder why I have trouble supporting the party. Tighten your nuts!
