I thought it was a Lu/joke that she called him. So sad to learn it’s true.

Of course it didn’t. But they’re betting people won’t learn that. Make this famous.

What an idiot!

I’d have to think about it, but I do it often. Almost always read ebook from library before buying book—otherwise I’d be broke with nothing but thousands of books!

What a pain! 😞

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

The point is you can never win if you capitulate to a bully.

Y’all, a Discord friend just got on a flight to New Orleans loaded with #Gamecocks. I apologized and told her to drink!

It’s not just the Republicans that don’t stand up to him—it’s MSM, Corps and even other countries. He’s a cancer and people think he won’t kill them if they’re nice to him.

Should have known better than to look at Post comments. “Catholicism is the only religion founded by Jesus.” Really????? Also, will it star Trump as Jesus?

Thanks, Amy!
