Politics is a stopped clock. Both sides can be correct some of the time.
There is no such thing as a trans lesbian regardless of gaslighting. Citizens deserve a safety net.

There is ZERO logic to this charge.
Anyone who has ever played any instrument cannot possibly keep holding their instrument & then bite someone. A musician isn't just going to drop an expensive clarinet, 🎸🎺🎷

I think the Chiefs will say that they cannot have total readiness as we've come to know it if women & racial minorities are eliminated. There is a 💩ton of them

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Not weird when as Quaran explicitly states that all good Muslim men r to convert all people & if they refuse, unalive 🗡️ them (See Lebanaon, Nigeria & Sudan 4 examples). Sharia Law is a VERY real threat AND if it's not a threat (CAIR), why not just pass a bill? 🧐

The sudden Republican fixation on ‘Sharia law’ is getting increasingly weird

Remember 11 years ago, when the right pushed a paranoid threat about the imposition of Islamic law on Americans? Evidently, the absurd fear is back.

What will you do with your flags and your scarves now? Fold them up next to your conscience? Keep them as souvenirs of your delusion? Or will you drag them out again when it’s trendy to hate Jews next season? Your activism is a costume, your outrage a performance, your “values” a fraud.

IN used to be balanced with moderate Republicans like Richard Lugar and Democrats like the Bayh family. Then 💩 happened. Still, somehow it managed to vote for Obama
