Walz won't be able to shoot down every point of bullshit in their 1 debate. There are too many.
No MSM reporter will ever have a chance to ask him to justify this lie.

I said to my friend: "Why would the feds get involved with that and why are they open a day after the raid?"

(8,257 posts)That's why they're against abortion, they want more tender sweet babies to eat. It's also why they hate "post-birth abortion" so much, because someone else is killing those tasty babies before the MAGA folks can get them on the BBQ.
Seriously, they don't call them "baby back ribs" for no reason.
Can we make that rumor go viral?
