Nice to know someone is looking at Santos, finally. Geez....

Yet another political witch hunt. Why would anyone think this guy might be engaged in illegal activity? It's probably just because he's a republican and the deep state is going after him because he's against holding children in the basement of a pizza parlor and is exposing the fact that democrats drink baby's blood.

 

[Lily Adler]

What will happen to him if he's charged?

 

[Teelie]

Hopefully jail and removed from Congress and replaced by a Democrat but Republicans are going to Republican so... probably not much?

 

[squeekness]

Whichever gives him the longest sentence.

Irony is dead.

 

[Teelie]

It's dead, buried, composted and now a tree is sprouting made of stupidity from the remains.

So, one of my weirdo Republican SoDak Senator's freaked out on a staffer about vaccines / jesus / breast-feeding initiated by her husband...

I had to do a remix of F' The Pain Away by Peaches;

Suckin' on my t*tties like you wanted me
Callin' me, all the time, like a Senator

Check out my Noem behind
It's fine all of the time

Like Sex at Savers

What else is in the Teaches of Preachers?

Huh? What? -Julie Frye-Mueller

 

[Teelie]

That is normally something you should get fired over doing to someone else but a South Dakota senator with the self awareness of grapefruit isn't going to be punished at all.

That senator is unhinged and unfit for office.

He needs to just step down already. The voters don't want him because he's a liar. He's making the Republican party look bad -- or worse than they usually are. He should just go.

My elementary librarian tried banning comics/graphic novels... my Dad went to the school and yelled at her, couldn't imagine if I didn't get to enjoy reading at a young age.

While I typically read 20-35 novels a year, most of the people know barely read a book or two a year.

She also tried banning Harry Potter for 'being the devil' since she was pretty religious and Scholastic threatened to pull any funding and all book fairs.

She lost, lol.

...this whole book-banning thing is getting sad and scary.

It really is, though I get banning sexually explicit stuff in schools. Public libraries should have everything. I don't approve of banning books everywhere. How can we learn without exploration? An educated mind will know what to dismiss and what to keep.

[squeekness]

Oh, boo hoo.

The United States is only 4% of the earth's population.

And once again shows the Republicans just want to arm as many past and future criminals with all the guns and ammo in the world.
