I think it's amazing that can look at bank statements and discern int'l sex trafficking:

But this is someone who can look at the Bible and discern an abortion ban. That isn't in there, either. Like the space lasers... #MTG #KlanMom #AngryKaren

GOP-controlled FL Leg wants to use radioactive waste, giving off deadly gas, to pave the roads (which, of course, is illegal):

Why? Because they want everything to glow in the dark? Or because Big Gypsum made some campaign contributions? #GOPClownShow

Iran has enough uranium for five nukes. The ONLY reason why this happened is that Trump and Netanyahu tore up the JCPOA agreement with Iran. timesofisrael.com/gallant-iran-h #Israel #Iran #Nukes #Armageddon #Apocalypse #EndOfDays #IFYouThinkTelAvivIsHotNow

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) says climate change will be good for the U.S. because it will be less cold: "Global warming will actually be beneficial ... Why wouldn't we take comfort in that? ... Y'know, concerned if you're in the hot region of Africa ... but we're in good shape."
