  1. Gerstein…eh??? Another Marxian Jew in the mold of Bernie Sanders, Gloria Steinem, Bela Abzug, Klaus Schwab, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Dick Durbin, and of course Chuck Schumer!

  2. The real question concerning Clinton, this damn Jezebel, is why she has not yet been prosecuted for a number of crimes – including the murder of Ambassador Stevens and others, destruction of evidence (bleach bit/hammer), Uranium-gate, on and on going back to Whitewater crimes? Thought Trump was going to prosecute this witch; am extremely disappointed this has not happened. Corruption everywhere.
