One Response to “Trickle Down”

  1. Morgan Atwood Says:

    I water boarded a chick once… She begged for it, and being a loving sadist, who was I to deny her.
    This, however, this is beyond the pale. Twisted. I’m sure there are a lot of Soldiers who’d like to have a few moments alone with this fellow. Not surprised to “see” it from Lewis, however. Word on the inside is the place is a shit-show. Terrible.
