we all have them, their belly buttons, everyone s got one. but can you go to work in company text messages? the ig just put it out there. i think it proves a point, president trump got elected to drain the swamp. and what this proves is that it is a swamp and is worse than you thought. the only action i had on the election was james comey. harris: nobody likes him especially after that book to her because he put it out there. we ll be right back. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it.
