Democrat Party’s rising ranks of socialist authoritarians and their Leftmedia propagandists — a day to remind the American people of the most disgraceful event associated with the Republican Party since the attempted Watergate cover-up.

The Jims of this world buy a sh!tload of food, load their offset smoker in the back of a truck, and set up shop in the middle of the damage. Because the last thing people who lost everything they have need to worry about is eating.
