Ooh. What a zinger! Spot-on... And In ref. to DJT, I noticed he didn't mention Minnesota 's ICE operation in his State of the Onion speech... That he removed whoever was in charge and installed Homan up there spoke and speaks volumes, however. (I.e., he was NOT pleased with what was happening). ~ gw

I've learned also, when a politician points a finger and blames someone. It means they did it first and didn't get caught.
