laws, or bothered by hypocrisy. Steve Scalise got saved by a black lesbian law enforcement agent
from a deranged gunman and he still votes to make her a second class citizen they chased after
Bill Clinton for consensual sex relationship but Donald Trump’s multiple rapes, sexual assaults, and
sex trafficking actions don’t raise any problems for them.

Btw one of the best men I have ever known just a little was the Governor of PA Ray Shafer who was
a Republican. Gingrich, the super rich, Nixon and his shits, and so on have made that kind of Republican
extinct. Trump is an example of what has happened when all the right’s toxins festers.
