(4,291 posts)8. "Volunteering" is a totally-foreign concept to Minus
Giving of oneself and expecting nothing (tangible) in return has never been a virtue to him, or his spawn. The warm sense of satisfaction that others, including and especially the Obamas, derive from this kind of experience would not last a nanosecond in his gaping hole where others have a soul or spirit.
Minus is the latest nickname that I picked up for this puddle of dysentary, as in 46 minus 1.
