The Donald is so good at firing ’em because he’s so lousy at picking ’em in the first damn place.

We’re the Only Ones Framing Enough

Former Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Wester will spend the next 12 years in prison, after being found guilty of planting drugs on multiple motorists. [More]
