• the putrid smell inside FairOaks Mall.

• the elected official and her hate-filled group who have dug long and hard to upset the recent presidential election, they should blame themselves for not placing a decent qualified candidate before the voters.

• the writers of onions who should look in a mirror, and think awhile, before asking the paper to spread their thoughtless, meaningless ideas before the readers — well, sometimes they do create a good laugh.

• anyone still watching Project Veritas as they’ve been proven to doctor their videos multiple times.
