Hey MAGAts, remember those pedophiles y’all have been so worried about. No, they weren’t on stage in drag shows. They were running for office and you helped put a big one there.

Surely we have one Democrat in Congress that knows that if you taking the bullies punches, he'll just keep punching. Somebody is going to have to stand up and say that's it. I have had enough. Sure, I made wind up in the ER, but I won't be alone.

Listen, I know deals have to be made and some folks have to take it on the chin. However, after last Tuesday, perhaps it's time for all of y'all that have Democrats in Congress to tell them to man up and don't let the bullies win. I don't have anything but Trump toadies, so not much I can do.

I’m guessing that with a 50-year mortgage you’d pay maybe $1000 toward the principal in the first 5 years. Don’t want to go to the amortization calculator to find out, but even being hyperbolic I’m not that far off.

I have made a life choice to not support any cause that proselytizes folks. Now, the elected officials of Arkansas have taken away my right to choose that decision by offering vouchers to parochial schools that may contain my tax dollars. This really chaps my ass.

The idea that an unborn child or a child of any age would be condemned to hell for eternity because they were not semi-drowned or even just spritzed with water is an idea that I could no longer wrap my head around after I turned 20 or so. Sorry it took me that long.
