It's unconscionable that Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are so hell-bent on drowning the federal government in a bathtub that a major military base has to post food pantry information so its personnel can feed themselves and their families. This is the real hostage crisis now.

Not all Trump supporters are child sex predators, but it's pretty safe to say that all or nearly all child sex predators are Trump supporters. MAGA sure has made them feel welcome.
