the senatorial candidate with the Waffen SS tattoo on his chest really needs you to know he has great sperm
Things I did not need to know from a political campaign: ""Graham has great sperm," Gertner said in the video. “The infertility was something that was part of my body.”"
Graham Platner on campaign hiatus to pursue pregnancy with wife in Norway
In a video on social media, Platner said a first attempt at IVF costs $25,000 in the U.S., while one IVF round in Norway costs $5,500.

One of the big arguments 2nd Amendment gun nuts use for this country's absurdly weak gun laws is "we need guns to protect ourselves from government tyranny!"
Well... there's some government tyranny in progress right now

“Marco Rubio as a teenager made extra cash working for his late brother-in-law Orlando Cicilia. The business imported and sold exotic animals as a front for moving nearly a half million pounds of cocaine and marijuana.”
