Hey Stevie, what about Jan 6? I would hope one coup attempt would enlighten people to the despicable nature of the GOP. How many Republican lies, and crimes does it take for you to understand that Republicans with leaders like Ted Cruz, MTG, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Trump, and the whole list of other bat-shit crazies are a Clear and Present Danger to our Democracy.

I think rape should get the death penalty. Especially infants, babies, toddlers, young children, - anyone under 18 years of age. Period. And I think it should be done in the public that those who do this, even thinks about raping a minor child knows and see's exactly what they'll get if they commit the crime of raping a infant, a baby, a toddler, a young child, a minor child.

If they do not have that auto stop they will just continue to blather on.
