curfews on innocent adults are unconstitutional. Thank you SCOTUS.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to emergency curfews, your presumption of unconstitutionality has been negated when the curfew has been held a narrowly tailored means of achieving a compelling state interest such as a pandemic...dumbass.
ReplyDelete^^^ wrong dumbass..... again.

ReplyDeleteBarack Obama has been a racist all of his life and he is getting worse. He has slammed white people his own grandmother who raised him and led him into communism, he slammed all Christians saying Jesus Christ and us Christians were the most radical thing and now he is proud of his girls for protesting with BLM.
If you have to put a race in front of lives matter then you are a racist. I believe it was Barack Obama and his hateful wife that divided this country. Lets not forget Rev Wright Michele Obama's mentor and teacher of hate.
ReplyDeleteglad to see hottie MILF Amy helping SCOTUS overturn some of the democrat scams instituted by the Hideous RBG and other libs.
Sly James the cat... you knew it had to be from somebody NOT from Kansas City, MO. Sly James is well hated where he controlled things. KCK is for suckers.
ReplyDeleteGood to see McConnell is still turning his back in all traditional republican values and beliefs and devoting himself entirely to the "New Republican" paradigm of holding onto any scraps or shreds of POWER, by any means possible, honest or not, moral or not, harmful to the Country or not, and refusing to let any such outdated concepts as Patriotism slow him down.
ReplyDeleteGo Mitch, bury the GOP in the dung heap of History as the American People continue to be more and more disgusted by your antics!
Experimenting, I find 15 seconds in the microwave the ideal execution setting for frying stinkbugs' brains. No pop, no mess, drop in trash. 15 seconds and that lil sucker ain't comin' 'roun again. Gotta find somethin' to do during stayin' in.
