Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

I think it's time for England to go full Agincourt. Bring in the longbows!
So far, this is an absurdly one-sided match. Guys on the Right 7, Guys on the Left 0. Sad for the people seated at the far end, where zero goals have been scored. #WorldCup
