Democrats voted against every civil rights and women’s rights bill. Look it up.
Democrats are trying to legalize consent to sex to age 14
Democrats defined porn, which purposefully excludes “cartoons”. Think Anime, video games, AI generated videos. Now think public school library books like Gender Queer which depict homosexual scenes, like a boy giving another boy a blow job, but it’s cartoons so it is not porn by law.
The Democratic Party is a Trojan Horse
They lie, they play the victim, they say they’re the good guy.
When you ask most Democrats about such things as above they get defensive and argumentative and never actually talk about issues.
we are watching the systematic dismantling of the Old Guard, including the D Party…the network which controls this false narrative which in turns keeps the black pop under control is being dismantled…WHO are the puppet masters?
Why do D’s want to control the black pop?
Why do they intentionally keep poor and in need?
Why do D’s project racism on a daily basis against R’s?
Why do black elected officials do the crazy talk on behalf of D’s?
How do D’s cover the historical facts of forming the confederacy, KKK, and oppose all things pro black re: legislation?
What happens if D’s lose the slave grip on the black pop?
Why do D’s prop up and install Hollywood/media assets?
Does this fall within Operation Mockingbird?
What were the historical advantages D’s gained by having MSM and famous people peddling narrative?
Public awakening is their greatest fear & [they] are in full panic mode…The Great Awakening
As I stated, look up the history of Democratic voting for yourself. Did you? Or did you just decide to make a rude comment instead?
Democrats voted against every civil rights bill pre 1970. They supported giving welfare to minorities in the 60s starting with the economic recovery act when they realized they could not keep minorities and women down.
Fast forward to today. Why is that CA, the 5th largest economy in the world has one of the worst education system in the nation. Over 60% of minorities cannot read and write at grade level. Have you gone into the school district or teachers and asked why is it that minorities are being left behind?
The no child left behind sounds great, like “planned parenthood”. Planned parenthood does not discuss parenting or how to help unexpected parents. Show me on their website where they do not do not discuss or promote abortion. Again, please do your research and don’t just be rude. If I am wrong please post the link and the verbiage.
No child left behind means that if a child cannot perform at grade level they are still advanced to the next grade and eventually “graduate” despite their not being educated.
Brian…answering your comment….” California has one of worst education system in the U.S. I just googled, and here are 2 separate results re Worst Education Systems “
WalletHub’s Study : 5 worst…W.Va., Miss., Louisiana, Ark., Oklahoma.
FA Mag. Study : Alabama, Miss., Oregon, s,Car., w.Va.
So there! Where do you get your skewered information from?
And WHY SHOULDNT ABORTION BE SUPPORTED? When you are pregnant, Brian, you CAN CHOOSE what to do about it. Meanwhile, STOP DIRECTING OTHER WOMEN WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES.
Laws literally dictate what we can and cannot do with our bodies already, harming another human being (a child in the womb is their own person and has their own body) would violate their right to life. And it takes two to make a baby, fathers have as much of a right to their children as mothers do, they also have a duty like any parent to protect their children.
Theo..I wish laws were clearer and more stringent re a man’s obligation to the potential life….including being responsible for the rest of its life. I don’t think that’s the case, even when the father is known. The present attempts to control a birth ( denying an abortion ) say nothing about who is responsible for the ensuing 18 years of raising a child which one had not planned for.
As to the many varied attitudes toward an unplanned child….i can see and hear your preferences/feelings….however, an early abortion is NOT eliminating a body, but Some thing the size of a grain of rice , which does not have a body…..which is a non-sequitur, I realize.
Not really the issue.
There is another aspect to giving birth to an unplanned child which is deeply affecting to the mother, and that is: the attachment which happens without trying, to this live creature in one’s belly.
Nine months of carrying a life, nurturing it, maybe talking to it creates a deeply profound love.
If the woman is young, and must give up the baby…..it is torture to do so. NO one mentions this when denying her an early abortion of the “ grain of rice”. Giving up the grain is easier than giving up the warm loving bundle. I know.
Dear Nancy, your last lines stuck with me. Such knowledge can be a terrible burden. I sincerely hope you have found forgiveness and comfort in your soul.
Dehumanizing a person simply because they happent to be in the eradication stages of human development is sickening, that is a child and we know that they are human. They carry their own unique DNA, and to say otherwise is to deny truth. You are just a ckump of cells, marginally larger than a child in the earliest stages of human development, but still very small on a cosmic scale. So I really don't see what you're trying to argue. And many women face regrets after an abortion even during the earliest stages of human development, it's also so weird to argue that they are the size of a grain of rice. Okay, and? They don't just suddenly become a human at some arbitrary point of time, they are human.
It way more than just the democrats there is republicans too who went along with the treason. Who all here has sèen Ivan Raklins interview with Zoe Chase over his his channel in X? This will give you more of an idea on how this is going to change things in a more peaceful mindset when Elon Musk drops all the direct messages of 350 deepstaters linked in every county and municipality across the country all the way down to the county sherriffs. https://x.com/IvanRaiklin/status/1790813699655061952?t=-3yZSABP0kcu_UszRa9qmw&s=01
What are questioning Earl? All these people that Ivan has identified are connected to our Democrat and republican assemblymen and senators in Washington DC. Who were duly elected by illegal and legal voters? The Brunson case in the Supreme Court listed hundreds of them in their lawsuit in the Supreme Court last year.
My guess is he feels that if he keeps spewing likes like "Democrats voted against every civil rights and women’s rights bill. Look it up." people will believe it. It's an amazing statement since everyone reading it is on a computer or phone and can look think junk up. The last three comments are his opinion though - and he can have those.
Had he written something like "before 1960 or something" and used the words "most" I'd be fine with it. It's interesting that all the old used to be dem south is now the GOP stronghold.
Thomas John, it’s a great comfort to hear another voice dissenting the lies
of these rather inhumane Republicans. How did this group get SO BAD? I am constantly astounded by what you rightly point out…..everyone appears to be mimicking Trump’s outrageous lies….and we’re left fighting the invalidity of them. Notice…No one ever gives a SOURCE for their lies. And then a challenge vis a vis “ sources “ is met with “ DONT communicate with me , Buckley “. Impossible to ge a sane dialogue going. The Republicans DO NOT WANT TO BE QUESTIONED ABOUT THE SOUCES OF THEIR JUNKY LYING WORDS,
I do have a problem with that. If you are talking about Senate Bill 145 (which I guess Brian is talking about??) is messier than Brian's one sentence. And the bill did get chopped down in many ways. But from my understanding of Senate Bill 145 it's not like the age of consent in CA got lowered to 14. I'd be happy to addresss that if you could provide more information.
I'm here because I find many of the posteres provide well written and rational statements about options I often differ with - but enjoy learning about conservative perspectives. Especially the financial aspects. But Brian just seems to like to throw molotov cocktails and run.
Thomas John….throwing molotovs is tempting. I sometimes succumb as well. Blowing up an unworthy Republican’s rhetoric MAKES MY DAY, ( to quote our excellent thoroughly-humane Biden .)
Articles like this remind me that the apostle Paul, writing to the believers in Rome many yrs ago, "called out" the dominant pagan culture with a list of ungodly behaviors and activities that read like today's mainstream culture AGAIN. Roman's 1:18-31 shows how little humanity has changed in thousands of years.
Hollyweird has always been sodom and gomorrah....anything, anyone, anytime goes. And they are 'worshiped' by so many. The same kind of 'so many' who destest Trump. Isn't that a ball of hypocracy???!!
While most comments here are constructive, too many are not. There seems to be a recent spate of unconstructive contributions. I guess an unconstructive contribution is another way of saying a destructive contribution. Like the child who knocks over the board when losing a chess game, some adult children see it fitting to participate here with destructive comments rather than voicing a constructive alternate point of view. I am a free speech absolutist. I also absolutely believe that you do your party or opinion or yourself a disservice by spewing irrelevant and abrasive content. It is unfortunate that interaction on the internet bolsters the weak and feckless to imagined relevance. I wonder if these same offending comments would be offered in person?
No, probably not they coward themselves away like our 3rd district supervisor and tells people she feels threatened. I Attended a circle meeting over the homeless last week, anything she proposed was nothing but repeating a cycle or a revolving door. There was no active solutions on ending sanctuary status here to releive the pressure of complying to these dictators and deep staters who have no moral compass and no congruence with what they say, what they do, and what they know. total loss of intrgrity in all communities. We must address city councils, the board of supervisors on these issues since they went along with it🕊🕊✨️✨️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏🙏
We have some work to do people, in these coming elections. Reminder there is no such thing as "the state". In fact it is the collective voices of those we elect to act in our behalf. Currently: Senator Monique Limon and Assemblyman Gregg Hart. Why do we let them do this to us?
J - loved the Babylon Bee article, esp the part where Gruesome Newsom takes issue with the idea that the CA CommieDems are to blame for ruining the state.
This moron states . . . “ it's like global warming and stuff," said Governor Gavin Newsom to a crowd of homeless meth heads on Pier 39. "And not enough taxes. If we had more taxes, all the things would be better."
It saddens me to read these comments about this article. Once the main topic was addressed everyone seems to want to get into their personal agenda. Name calling, "bad mouthing" what others have written. Looks like responding via comments is an easy way to "say what you want and feel" without doing that in person. As an older generation member, I am rallying "the troops" because we need to have our voice heard and not just in writing.
Good article pointing up one of the battles we face as the Evildoers continue to attack Our Country (The Silent War)…thoughts from a fellow Patriot…
we need to look at the people that are running organizations like the World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, the World Bank, etc…take COVID for instance…when you dig down a couple of layers into the kinds of evidence that we have now discovered about COVID and the treatments for COVID, and you start to look at the reasons behind it, you’ll find that it is about The Great Reset…it’s no longer about a health crisis…this is about a control mechanism in order to take over — not only the United States, but The World…pay attention to these kinds of things and the types of agendas that they're following and the talking points that come out of them and the various topics that they talk about…this is all about the One World Order that they're moving toward. And this is not a conspiracy theory — it is a conspiracy.
what we have to understand is that the big take is the United States of America…this Great Reset strategy has been going on for decades as they implement their tactics…the Petrodollar is nearly dead and their goal is to move US into another money system that they can continue to control…people can go read their great reset books & articles…they can dig deep into the aspects of the things that are coming out of these different organizations that are now in full view of the United States of America and what is happening with our administration right now…
the COVID Crisis evolved into COVID tyranny…it’s a total assault on our bill of rights, top to bottom, and not just our ability to be able to speak freely…go back and look at the bill of rights…it’s a very simple document to read…read them and you will find that every single one of Our Rights is being threatened by this great reset — every single one…
If you’re only paying attn to US politics you are missing the much bigger picture. Maybe that’s why US politics is a s show these days. Pure distraction. Good comment DL!
Isn't that Katy Perry in the collage, Mary Hudson's daughter? The same Mary Hudson that writes for the Santa Barbara Current? Isn't that convenient? One of our OWN has sold their soul to the devil.
This next comment I'm making is dark, so fair warning. Katy Perry did make a song about kissing "girls", perhaps lesbianism wasn't the only thing she was pushing for.
Mr. Caldwell, in true biased fashion, it is obviously noticeable that the face of the TRUMP is NOT IN YOUR COLLAGE…..OH, surprise, surprise! How obvious you trumpers are. I could be mistaken, but I believe Trump was in office when Epstein was shuttling these underage women to Paradise Island , and HE HIMSELF….along with all the other sick sex-deprived MOSTLY MARRIED men …. was availing himself of Epstein’s generosity. So….where is THAT ADULTERER’S FACE IN YOUR COLLAGE, and why would you not point THAT OUT? TRUMP IS TRYING TO BECOME OUR PRESIDENT, YOU IDIOT…..THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE POINTING OUT….THIS SICK SICK MAN WANTS TO RUN THIS DEMOCRACY…..TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE IS NOT FIT TO BE OUR PRESIDENT ! !
Livingston : ha ha ha haha……and you believe these “documents”? You don’t SMELL anything, like…..fishy? Let me guess: you think of yourself as a Republican? How about switching to being an American? TRY IT.
Nancy, you are a broken record in more ways than one! I would never deny that Trump has been an adulterer, but that is not what we are discussing here. We are talking about child trafficking. Trump never went to Epstein's island. If he had, you can be certain he would have been the only person prosecuted for having been there.
Andy Caldwell….i forgot to suggest YOU could write a short article urging trump to “ DO “ an Epstein…..what do you think? Trump’s choice as to how, of course. This is the land of the free and often, of the NOT brave.
Two areas of difficulty not addressed by this simple minded article are:
1. Cases where a 17 & 1/2 year old girl as sex with an 18 year old boy. Sending the boy to prison may not be the right thing to do.
2. Someone that flew to Epstein island is not proof they has sex with underage girls. You need victims and proof. Victims do not want to come forward at this point, no financial incentive for the exposure.
As for California, there is lots of bad ledgeslation and it sounds like a broad, unspecified bill could have been a much worse law than you understand.
Eric, I take it you would have voted to reduce having sex with a minor from a felony because a six month age difference is not much different than 10 YEARS??? Several victims have come forward including those who have led to Prince Andrew's fall from grace.
Andy, I'm just saying it's like calculus; as the limit approaches 18 years old the punishment needs to be adjusted. At the limit a guy, 18 years and 1 day has sex with a girl 17 years and 364 days...does he get 20 years? Is that justice? I have no issue of full penalty where grooming underaged victims are taken advantage by older men. 10 years older...throw the book at em.
Yes I agree that a large portion of Epstein Island visitors partook in underage sex. I don't think women visitors did. Trump did. Epstein also had other businesses that would allow him to host for influence without sex. My point was simply its a case by case discussion and broad brush bills sweep up cases that need a closer look like the 6 month case.
Why do you specifically a younger teenage girl having relations with a slightly older teenage boy, why would the sex of these individuals matter in such a context where there's less than a year age gap between thrm?
The "Island of California" was an enduring misconception in the 16th-17th Century that California was not part of mainland North America but a large island separated from the continent by the Gulf of California. This was debunked by 1680 and maps were corrected. I am surprised the author is not aware of this. As for the California Senate rejecting a child sex law, I thought child trafficking and sex with minors, with or without their "consent," was already against the law in California. You would have to go a southern State to find "ages of consent" below 16.
Stephen, are you trying to be witty? By my implying that CA is the New Epstein Island, you think I am asserting that CA is a geographical island? With regard to CA sex trafficking laws, what this article is about is that it is NO LONGER A CLEAR CUT FELONY for an adult to have sex with a minor!
Theo….When a man dons a device which precludes life during a potential act of procreation….is he not deciding a new life may not exist? Don’t you object to that? Just one seed is all it takes.
What about his obligation, before sex, to ask the woman if she wants to get pregnant…..and IF SHE SAYS NO, he might consider he and ONLY he is responsible for a life she does not want.
Why don’t men talk to men about this obligation…..why is the pregnant women being forced to follow the will ( mostly ) of men who want to force her body through nine months she does not want to be put through.
And what would you suggest…. Nothing apparently……that the man who impregnated do for her and for his careless behavior. He got her pregnant.
How about implanting her potential child in his body,,,,how would a man like to have his body and life be thoroughly changed/disrupted , not only for the 9 Months but for the following 18 years…..and who is paying for the child’s food, clothes, education?
No one….especially men…ever talk about how a man’s seed is the only way a woman can get pregnant….( give or take a few historical immaculate conceptions )….yet everyone has an opinion as to what she must do or not do if she is pregnant….and most of those voices giving her directions are male. Most women want the choice …..hers alone…..to decide.
If you think that your God wants life to continue, then your God should talk to the men who could make a woman pregnant…..give them a few painful directions to follow.
Women had to fight to get the vote, to own property, to get equal pay…. Now you want them to BE pregnant . What about shoes….can we have some shoes to wear in the kitchen where we are cooking your and the new child’s food? I suggest men stop making rules for us….make a few dozen for men!
I cannot believe it! I guess the democrats never fail to disappoint, they are always without a spec of morals or care for a child's well-being or safety! Total low-life's all the money in the world will not raise you up.
Colleen, have you seen project 2025? Its a republican document...your party. It cuts all child care social services to almost nothing. Don't you talk about morals and child care from your total amoral mountain. Hypocrisy be thy name!
Colleen, Lest you mention “ morals “….take a gander at the orange turd and his approximately 91 indictments….or as a Republican, you might prefer waiting until the child is born , THEN ABUSE IT….wait until the trump gets itchy fingers in a dressing room or gets invited to a boys’ weekend out with an Epstein, Take your pick! Why is the woman the bad one for not wanting a child some guy unwittingly put in her ? Why isn’t he being held responsible FOR NOT PROTECTING HIMSELF, hmmmm??
Democrats voted against every civil rights and women’s rights bill. Look it up.
Democrats are trying to legalize consent to sex to age 14
Democrats defined porn, which purposefully excludes “cartoons”. Think Anime, video games, AI generated videos. Now think public school library books like Gender Queer which depict homosexual scenes, like a boy giving another boy a blow job, but it’s cartoons so it is not porn by law.

WalletHub’s Study : 5 worst…W.Va., Miss., Louisiana, Ark., Oklahoma.
FA Mag. Study : Alabama, Miss., Oregon, s,Car., w.Va.
So there! Where do you get your skewered information from?
And WHY SHOULDNT ABORTION BE SUPPORTED? When you are pregnant, Brian, you CAN CHOOSE what to do about it. Meanwhile, STOP DIRECTING OTHER WOMEN WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES.
Laws literally dictate what we can and cannot do with our bodies already, harming another human being (a child in the womb is their own person and has their own body) would violate their right to life.

It’s funny that everyone thinks that they have the answer and everyone else is wrong or worse.
Please know that the biggest problem in the world by far is not global warming or crime or racism.
It’s sin.
Until the world admits this and repents and turns to God.
Nothing will ever change!
EVER
Have a great week.
Good heavens, Andy, here is proof that the subject of sex brings out the worst in people.

what we have to understand is that the big take is the United States of America…this Great Reset strategy has been going on for decades as they implement their tactics…the Petrodollar is nearly dead and their goal is to move US into another money system that they can continue to control…people can go read their great reset books & articles…they can dig deep into the aspects of the things that are coming out of these different organizations that are now in full view of the United States of America and what is happening with our administration right now…
the COVID Crisis evolved into COVID tyranny…it’s a total assault on our bill of rights, top to bottom, and not just our ability to be able to speak freely…go back and look at the bill of rights…it’s a very simple document to read…read them and you will find that every single one of Our Rights is being threatened by this great reset — every single one…
If you’re only paying attn to US politics you are missing the much bigger picture. Maybe that’s why US politics is a s show these days. Pure distraction. Good comment DL!
Isn't that Katy Perry in the collage, Mary Hudson's daughter? The same Mary Hudson that writes for the Santa Barbara Current? Isn't that convenient? One of our OWN has sold their soul to the devil.
This next comment I'm making is dark, so fair warning. Katy Perry did make a song about kissing "girls", perhaps lesbianism wasn't the only thing she was pushing for.
Mr. Caldwell, in true biased fashion, it is obviously noticeable that the face of the TRUMP is NOT IN YOUR COLLAGE…..OH, surprise, surprise! How obvious you trumpers are. I could be mistaken, but I believe Trump was in office when Epstein was shuttling these underage women to Paradise Island , and HE HIMSELF….along with all the other sick sex-deprived MOSTLY MARRIED men …. was availing himself of Epstein’s generosity. So….where is THAT ADULTERER’S FACE IN YOUR COLLAGE, and why would you not point THAT OUT? TRUMP IS TRYING TO BECOME OUR PRESIDENT, YOU IDIOT…..THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE POINTING OUT….THIS SICK SICK MAN WANTS TO RUN THIS DEMOCRACY…..TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE IS NOT FIT TO BE OUR PRESIDENT ! !
PolitiFact explores your charges, Nancy. https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/jan/11/trump-exonerated-by-epstein-docs-heres-what-they-d/
Livingston : ha ha ha haha……and you believe these “documents”? You don’t SMELL anything, like…..fishy? Let me guess: you think of yourself as a Republican? How about switching to being an American? TRY IT.
Nancy, you are a broken record in more ways than one! I would never deny that Trump has been an adulterer, but that is not what we are discussing here. We are talking about child trafficking. Trump never went to Epstein's island. If he had, you can be certain he would have been the only person prosecuted for having been there.
Oh but sniffing Joe Biden is…? Get a grip lady .. you are off your rocker.. lol Geeze
Now now Jenn - don't pick on our Nancy. She's entitled to her own goofy verdicts.
I'm sure Bunker Biden would agree with me! :)
Spot on
Nancy - your assertion that Trump “ . . .was availing himself of Epstein’s generosity.” You sure? That’s a pretty serious allegation.
Andy Caldwell….i forgot to suggest YOU could write a short article urging trump to “ DO “ an Epstein…..what do you think? Trump’s choice as to how, of course. This is the land of the free and often, of the NOT brave.
Two areas of difficulty not addressed by this simple minded article are:
1. Cases where a 17 & 1/2 year old girl as sex with an 18 year old boy. Sending the boy to prison may not be the right thing to do.
2. Someone that flew to Epstein island is not proof they has sex with underage girls. You need victims and proof. Victims do not want to come forward at this point, no financial incentive for the exposure.
As for California, there is lots of bad ledgeslation and it sounds like a broad, unspecified bill could have been a much worse law than you understand.
Eric, I take it you would have voted to reduce having sex with a minor from a felony because a six month age difference is not much different than 10 YEARS??? Several victims have come forward including those who have led to Prince Andrew's fall from grace.
Andy, I'm just saying it's like calculus; as the limit approaches 18 years old the punishment needs to be adjusted. At the limit a guy, 18 years and 1 day has sex with a girl 17 years and 364 days...does he get 20 years? Is that justice? I have no issue of full penalty where grooming underaged victims are taken advantage by older men. 10 years older...throw the book at em.
Yes I agree that a large portion of Epstein Island visitors partook in underage sex. I don't think women visitors did. Trump did. Epstein also had other businesses that would allow him to host for influence without sex. My point was simply its a case by case discussion and broad brush bills sweep up cases that need a closer look like the 6 month case.
Why do you specifically a younger teenage girl having relations with a slightly older teenage boy, why would the sex of these individuals matter in such a context where there's less than a year age gap between thrm?
Your question is too vague to answer. Can you sharpen it please.
All I can say is, "WOW!" What a bunch of idiots.
The "Island of California" was an enduring misconception in the 16th-17th Century that California was not part of mainland North America but a large island separated from the continent by the Gulf of California. This was debunked by 1680 and maps were corrected. I am surprised the author is not aware of this. As for the California Senate rejecting a child sex law, I thought child trafficking and sex with minors, with or without their "consent," was already against the law in California. You would have to go a southern State to find "ages of consent" below 16.
Stephen, are you trying to be witty? By my implying that CA is the New Epstein Island, you think I am asserting that CA is a geographical island? With regard to CA sex trafficking laws, what this article is about is that it is NO LONGER A CLEAR CUT FELONY for an adult to have sex with a minor!
"Island" is used in a cultural/political context.
Theo….When a man dons a device which precludes life during a potential act of procreation….is he not deciding a new life may not exist? Don’t you object to that? Just one seed is all it takes.
What about his obligation, before sex, to ask the woman if she wants to get pregnant…..and IF SHE SAYS NO, he might consider he and ONLY he is responsible for a life she does not want.
Why don’t men talk to men about this obligation…..why is the pregnant women being forced to follow the will ( mostly ) of men who want to force her body through nine months she does not want to be put through.
And what would you suggest…. Nothing apparently……that the man who impregnated do for her and for his careless behavior. He got her pregnant.
How about implanting her potential child in his body,,,,how would a man like to have his body and life be thoroughly changed/disrupted , not only for the 9 Months but for the following 18 years…..and who is paying for the child’s food, clothes, education?
No one….especially men…ever talk about how a man’s seed is the only way a woman can get pregnant….( give or take a few historical immaculate conceptions )….yet everyone has an opinion as to what she must do or not do if she is pregnant….and most of those voices giving her directions are male. Most women want the choice …..hers alone…..to decide.
If you think that your God wants life to continue, then your God should talk to the men who could make a woman pregnant…..give them a few painful directions to follow.
Women had to fight to get the vote, to own property, to get equal pay…. Now you want them to BE pregnant . What about shoes….can we have some shoes to wear in the kitchen where we are cooking your and the new child’s food? I suggest men stop making rules for us….make a few dozen for men!
I cannot believe it! I guess the democrats never fail to disappoint, they are always without a spec of morals or care for a child's well-being or safety! Total low-life's all the money in the world will not raise you up.
Colleen, have you seen project 2025? Its a republican document...your party. It cuts all child care social services to almost nothing. Don't you talk about morals and child care from your total amoral mountain. Hypocrisy be thy name!
Colleen, Lest you mention “ morals “….take a gander at the orange turd and his approximately 91 indictments….or as a Republican, you might prefer waiting until the child is born , THEN ABUSE IT….wait until the trump gets itchy fingers in a dressing room or gets invited to a boys’ weekend out with an Epstein, Take your pick! Why is the woman the bad one for not wanting a child some guy unwittingly put in her ? Why isn’t he being held responsible FOR NOT PROTECTING HIMSELF, hmmmm??
