    I don’t even have a modicum of respect for this lady. She is supremely unfit for the presidency. Just a poodle of the most notorious Liar in the history of Dominica politics. She occupies the presidential palace, dines on the best foods, reads a few scripts handed to her occasionally, attends par-lie-a-ment once per annum, and enjoys a lavished lifestyle at the expense of poor taxpayers’ money.

    Get out of the people’s hair!

      Nobody deserves your respect and nobody cares of your respect. We are still moving on without your participation. Yo are one hell of a disgruntled and frustrated individual who needs special attention from somewhere.

      Let me tell you something, brother! Your accusations against this honorable lady are outrageous and completely unfounded! This President has done more for the underprivileged of this island and this entire region than anyone else! Her service to God and her dedication to this nation are second to none! Before you speak, think about it — do you really want someone who would bring chaos to this country sitting in the President’s chair? Don’t make me laugh, brother! So wake up, respect the truth, because when Hulkamania runs wild, you don’t want to be on the wrong side! Whatcha gonna do, brother, when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!

      Well-loved. Like or Dislike: Thumb up 13 Thumb down 0
