In the United States.
In 2025.
“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

I am honestly thinking of creating my own PAC that just runs attack ads against Dems who punch left. That's all it does, is swoop in from out of state to shit on their day.
Prudence restrains me yet, but Rage is making a compelling case for herself.
