  1. Next they need to pass the John Lewis Voting rights act to help stop republicans race to block voters of color and anyone who lives in reality and doesnt vote for them.

    1. You do realize people other than whites voted for Trump, right ? Mommy didn’t let you out of the basement for a life lesson ? Fvcking moron

  2. That bottle-blonde monster claims to be Christian. I was under the impression that Christians believe that their god loves everyone, that their god created everyone and everything. Is she saying that her perfect creator makes mistakes?

  3. Okay, new drinking game. Everytime they say Trump, you have to take a drink. Everytime they blame something on Trump, you have to take a shot.

    1. I tried taking a drink every time Trump lied during one press conference, I got alcohol poisoning mid conference. Thankfully the ACA was there for me.

  4. Great! Now we just need to get the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill passed in the Senate, and the George Floyd justice act Bill passed in the Senate and both signed into law.

    1. why does george kirby(nancy called him that btw) need a law? its already illegal to have fentynal , if he followed the law he wouldnt have oded on it.

  5. Unless those handful of reTHUGlicans whom express sorrow and empathy for her do so PUBLICLY, it does not count.

  6. Long past due, every human being, regardless of race, gender, identity, sexual orientation, religion, etc., all deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairly under the law.

  7. After a pre war campaign of “social justice” and “equality” wasn’t homosexuals also rounded up and placed in camps? A new era of humanity to last a thousand years? Where have we heard that before? No liberal society has ever lasted for any length of time.

  8. Sounds like the Exact same thing that blacks want to equal rights equal treatment and not hated nothing more nothing less

    1. I’m sure it was. People just didn’t talk about it back then for fear of conservative dads beating you to within an inch of your life.

  9. This is great news. QAnon and trumpists and the trump evil armies must be investigated and prosecuted. God save “We The People”.

  10. Are you are so nice you just let people go on and on you should really interview Edward Snowden I would like to see that
