"Sometimes America is just gonna America" is the greatest sum up of this election ever said. Well done Wanda.

This woman is hilarious! So many good quotable moments, but one of my favorites: "My ancestors put too much blood into this land. I'm not going anywhere" 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I think Jimmy also needed & benefited from "Wanda Therapy " . We appreciate our girl for being so frank about all this madness. ❤❤❤
Goodness shall prevail.
