Stacy Gates sends her children to private schools and does not pay her ow bills. She is a real piece of work. The CTU is like the mafia, only the mafia gives you a better deal.
No. The whole state is getting hosed .
This cartoon is inaccurate. Holding a firehose is work. That septic tank Spawn of Satan, Davis Gates would never do a lick of work; she and all of CTU are a leech upon society and should be bagged up and discarded like dog excrement on the sidewalk. She would have a CTU parasitic stooge doing this work for her. Bust this pestilential terrorist organization now.
Is the Illinois Policy Association aware of the sexual innuendo in the term “hosed”?
Me neither then, please explain.
