Republicans basically enabled Frankenstein's monster to destroy the village, but are now acting horrified by the fact that the village is in ruins. It's way too late to worry about that. Unless pigs suddenly fly and they agree with Democrats to impeach the president and remove him from office.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.
