The Communists managed to turn their dream into a nightmare as things began to sour until POTUS was elected. Trump has never and will never dare to say anything against Russia. Why do you think he protects Putin as faithfully as he does?

Fox News is an American pay television conservative cable television news channel owned by Fox News Media and used to be Trump's favorite TV Network.

They are The little icons that Millennials have a penchant for using in lieu of words that have infiltrated pop culture and everyday communications, but a common criticism has been that the faces and hand signals are in the same color tone, lacking racial diversity. Emojis have developed over the years into Ideograms used in electronic messages and web pages. 

In an attempt to get ahead of the curve, I sent a Bitmoji to my daughters and the response was surprising, to say the least.
