Guessing douche face is Texan. Well that fucking cock sucking cunt can go die in a hole, one worm bite at a time with that fucking stetson rammed up his ass. But I wish him and his family all the best because that sanitizes all the nasty stuff I just said.
Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin defended Trump’s vile post about Rob Reiner:
“I don’t think they’re controversial. Because he was respectful to him, he said he was once a really good actor and all that. And pointed out the fact that he didn’t like him at all, but wished him, ended the text fine…”

Rand Paul is concerned about Democratic voters' fee-fees. 🙄
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

Wow. Have you ever seen anything quite like that? Gratuitous violence for no reason whatsoever. They don't care one shit that they're seen doing it. They believe they are untouchable. State law enforcement needs to track those fuckers down.
