nothing like an entitled Portlandian libturd living in Vermont preaching about money....... Kara you grew up in the whitest possible nice neighborhood and wanted for nothing..... well, except for a real man as a father 🤣
Alabama finally got it right 😂
waiting for Kara to squalk like a muppet, collusion. collusion. collusion..... then proclaim obstruction, obstruction, obstruction..... does anyone actually listen to this libturd podcast but me and her libtard father Craig? liberalism is a mental disorder.
libturds like your listeners are exactly why Donald Trump is now our president.
finally puked my way through kara Hamiltons podcast. for any of you that listen to her garbage, she was born an entitled millennial twat. she never went without a meal and is still being supported by her libturd father, to listen to her blathering about hunger and homelessness makes me laugh. so how much did your mom get out of your parents divorce. $500k+????? wtf. good lord, you portlandian libturds are fucking hilarious :-)
as a staunch supporter of abortion, I wish your parents would have done so with you and Sam.....
Trump 2020! liberalism is a mental disorder.
love how this LIBTARD twat Kara calls it the Trump shutdown and Trump holding the country hostage. sure looks from my America its Nancy pelosi's shutdown. Nancy refuses to work to end the shutdown and was sitting on the tarmac this afternoon trying to leave America, daddy Trump shut that bullshit down :-) oh yeah, Kara. I made your dad a bottom ;-) hopefully the EPA will shut his horrible polluting galvanizing plant down this year.....
incoherent babble from entitled millennial twats.
reproductive Rights. Rebecca should have aborted you Kara..... SMH.....
so.... in full disclosure Craig Hamilton, karas libtardian father turned me on to this podcast to convert me from my conservative views. After listening to several episodes of her LIBTARD views it's obvious why Donald Trump won in 2016. from what I know of Kara after meeting her twice I find it ironic she is so liberal since she was raised with money from her father's terrible polluting zinc plant in Portland in a very upper class neighborhood (Mt Tabor). criag Hamilton once told me he makes an "obscene" amount of money running the polluting plant. the galvanizers plant is one of the worst polluting plants in the nw industrial district of Portland. (why are all the neighbors roofs yellow/orange in vicinity of the galvanizers company)????they are actually part of the superfund cleanup project for the Willamette river. personally I'm hoping that superfund cleanup shuts down that horrible polluting steel plating plant. I'm definitely going to listen to the rest of karas podcasts and will
OMG! it's like valley gurl political hour. This is exactly why Donald Trump won in 2016 and will win in 2020 Kara Hamilton.
