      Apparently you are the who needs to read and understand. The Governor was not at the swearing in of the 35th legislature, which was separate to his swearing in. You’re so quick to put someone else down that you make yourself look foolish.

    Good for he! It's that vaccine that he took. I remember seeing a video with him saying, you could eat certain types of food, but yuh can't take the vaccine! The wonderful vaccine should have protected him from that virus. Instead, the virus is lurking in his body! These people think we are Watchmen on the wall are stupid!!

    What he has to say now!!
