20. "These are divisive times”

I wonder why that is?
It seems Blackburn has done more than her share to divide the country against an elected president.

It's odd she felt an empty envelope was meant to intimidate, but slinging an assault rifle over your shoulder to stand in line for a freakin' cup of coffee is the sign of a true patriot.

I do not like Congresswoman Blackburn, and I'm grateful for every day that Tim Ryan represents my district here in NE Ohio. I'm sorry Tennessee, you could do better.
