Update 10/14: Jan's surgery began 2 hrs later than scheduled. They removed one of the plates and "cleaned up" the site. She's home with a wound vac for a week, but can walk as soon as numbness from nerve block subsides.

Presumably it was stolen by the aptly-named wild-eyed Kkkash Pottyliar?
This government is so corrupt it just refers crime to other criminals.

51 Senate members are into child abuse. Otherwise, why would they block the release? You can identify the likely pedos but it’s surprising to find ‘thingies with orifices’ voting for child exploitation.

Looks like another child-raping organisation is taking on the WH Pedo Ring. That makes a pleasant change. This bloke has been accused of child raping but was exonerated by his diocese. So much for ‘independent’ investigations.

All pedophiles by association. Comer, Trump & Johnson have potential victims within their families. Bondage isn’t a real woman, just a ‘thingy with orifices’. Real; women do not support child rape.
