WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD.

GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.

Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Seriously train yourself to stop engaging fascists in earnest! It’s not your job to educate them, it won’t work, and it squanders your effort! Use the block button so much your thumb gets bruised. Be vigilant young squadron

My least favorite part of my day job is how I’ll be coming up with so many great lines and then, right when I’m about to write, BAM customer asks me a question

Goodbye goodbye great line
You vanish back to where you came from
