Al Cardenas, the Miami mega-lobbyist and lawyer who once headed the Republican Party of Florida and now head of the influential American Conservative Union, has exercised his right to be married to a woman named Diana for the past 32 years. Though, it seems Diana is dead set against extending the pleasures and privileges of marriage to homosexuals, and was caught on her Facebook page comparing homosexuals to the mentally ill, and describing gays as trying to "threaten the moral fiber of our society."🤣🤣

[@LaRomana59]

First, at least 70% of Ukraine aid stays in the U.S., paying for the replacement of the older munitions and equipment that's sent to Ukraine. Second, the President can't legally take money allocated by Congress, which has the "power of the purse," for one thing and use it for something else. If you want more money for the hurricane victims, tell Congress to go back to D.C. and pass a supplemental bill.
