        If he’s right, that would mean that Donald Trump is contributing to the rise of school shootings. He devalues the lives of immigrants, woman and children. He advocates violence. Publicly bullies and disrespects people all the time. What does @DanPatrickTX have to say about that?

        Genius. Too bad he made it full term. What the fuck is wrong w these human-like life forms? Rocks causing sea levels to rise, Fox delivers news, guns don’t kill people, trump is good for our country. This is an exhausting time to be an American.

        The people of Texas elected this idiot, and the governor who believes likewise. Can't understand why ANYONE would ever want to visit any part of the state, much less LIVE WITH such craven nut jobs.

        When you say that an innocent human being can legally be dismembered and then either put in the trash or sold for parts, it sends the message that human life isn't worth much.

        There used to be a time when people thought twice about making stupid comments like that. There was such a time, wasn't there? It's all so confusing now.
