People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

Newsom: "He just announced he'll be sending out strike teams and organizing them in every state. Wake up! What the hell do we need to tell people to get them off their couch? To say, 'Hold on. I may have liked his bluster. I may not have liked the last guy, but I didn't sign up for this.'"

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

A screenshot of a photograph and text above. The black text on white background says; “When you watch your husband get handsy with a single mom in leather pants, but you can’t make him sleep on the couch cause he’ll fuck that too.” Below the text is an up close photograph of vice president to the orange clown baby JD Vance’s wife Usha Vance. Looking down and pensive wearing a pale suite.

Good, god - how bad does it have to be for someone to jump ship to the damned Tories?

The councillor in question has stated that Reform is “relying on rhetoric and slogans, which isn't going to help real families in communities like Stone House".
