I miss the good ole days when we only had a shooting every three days.
Suarez should go for the job of (incompetent) Secretary of Transportation.
There’s a history of so-called part-time mayors getting that gig.
Suarez admitted to voting for Andrew Gillum which tells me he must of also Voted for Biden. If true, he must be a RINO soooooo NO.
