No….just weirdly ok.
So so so many leaders in our past, in our childhood, were openly pedophiles and it’s like no one knew to be horrified. And most importantly, protect their children.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

It’s always a Republican.

Republicans come in three categories:

PEDOPHILE - more and more are qualifying daily under this category

PEDOPHILE FRIENDLY - those who actively cover for Pedophiles

PEDOPHILE ENABLER - those who still support and offer aide and comfort to pedophiles

It's absurd that in a modern city, our buses crawl at less than 5 mph.

We'll make them fast and free.

The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background.

Overlapping the floral design is bold white text that reads:

"I WISH FOR YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR IMMIGRANTS"

The text is prominent and stands out clearly against the colorful backdrop. At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.
