Diversity, equality and inclusion?
I went fishing in Lewiston once, all I caught was mud sharks.
“Eight people were arrested in Lewiston Tuesday following the execution of a search warrant at a SINGLE FAMILY home” If those in the picture make up the “family”, which ones are the Mother and Father? Oh, never mind……
Isn’t diversity wonderful? We need more of this.
Keep voting democrat if you want more insanity!
Ahhh yes, another shining example of those “new Mainers” that Mills and the leftists brag about! It seems that the state is headed down the same leftist rabbit hole that every leftist city in the country is suffering from! So either people smarten up and start voting like they have double digit IQs or the state is going to end up being a leftist shooting gallery!
