Now hear this!

Ukraine didn’t start the war.
Tariffs are taxes on consumers.
14 year-olds are not adults.
Immigrants are not responsible for the ills of the country.

That is all!

So it's plain and simple mass murders without any evidence provided by a lying Fascist regime to distract from their epstein coverup.

GOP is short for Guardians Of Pedophiles.

8. Hasty Generalization

A hasty generalization is a logical fallacy where someone draws a broad conclusion about a whole group or situation based on a small, insufficient, or unrepresentative sample, essentially "jumping to conclusions" without enough evidence, often leading to stereotypes or flawed reasoning. It's faulty reasoning that applies a general rule from a few instances (like one bad experience) to all cases (e.g., "All cats are mean" after one scratched you).

Edited title, my error

What's a Hasty Generation? A grandparent who encourages their grandchildren to have babies at a young age? Parents who give birth to babies in highschool?

Immigrants who move their multigenerational families to the US too quickly without knowing what the US is actually like?

So many possibilities.

Fact is precious few of our nations current ills can be laid at the feet of indigenous folk. The rest of us are immigrants.

On FB, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
"To the men & women from both countries, this is not your war. Please find your way back to your homes & families.
This is a bully's war"
