Chelsea Manning is cute. Fah when r u going to change to Farah?




Wow ---look at those figures. I love figures, or statistics. Nixon had 863 pardons? wow. And Obama has 1400 commutations? That's amazing.

Well, I don't blame Obama for all that, it is within his presidential rights. Good for him. Am not hating on him.

good move by Obama. I am glad he commuted, pardoned many African America lowlevel offenders who were serving outrages sentences. I predict he will pardon Hillary & co on his last day in office
