What’s with the matchy matchy pastel blue oxfords? Did Mimsy entertain the idea at last month’s style meeting at the club and then pass on the suggestion to her hubby and his boys?

As for the content of the article, I for one didn’t serve my country so some dictator wannabe in south Florida could play fuhrer at a local city council meeting. With this motley crew “in charge,” I hope the city has deep pockets for this and future lawsuits.

Was video taken down? Perhaps by order of his majesty, the mayor of Podunk, FL? These people know nothing about freedom!
