Indeed, and now thanks to the other comment I can reference that they’re just mad that bitch is eating crackers.
The user above is just one of those guys who looks at anything the dems do and thinks, look at this bitch eating crackers.
Nothing good can ever be celebrated or praised. It has to always be bad.
