  1. Thank you Law Enforcement!!!

    Just down the highway from this arrest site is a junkyard home with Trump signs all over it. They guy who owns it, his barn burned down, and he took everything out of the burned out building and spread it all over his yard. Worse, instead of using insurance claim money to rebuild his barn, he bought a lift kit for his 1978 rusted out F-150.
