Gov. [Geoff Duncan](https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Geoff%20Duncan) (R) on Sunday criticized his party for staying silent as former President Trump attacked conservative stalwarts including Georgia Gov.

So the alleged couch fucking was before he was a Catholic. No one knew he was Catholic, and then suddenly he happened to turn Catholic. Someone should look into that. ---

Tan the Convictman is still winning! What’s that?

Okay; that’s just one case. Surely, he’s winning in another, right?

The question of the day is, who do you suppose this gun-totin’ Islamophobe would vote for in November if he wasn’t in prison, which he almost certainly will be?
